    Outline
        of the City

History formed by ancestors
for a long time
teaches lots of things to people living today.
We can learn ancestors' wisdom and instructions through nature and properties left to us.
Kyongju was the capital of the Shilla Dynasty
for a thousand years,and you can find ancestor's heritages everwhere in the city.
In the relics of Buddhist culture,
we find the artistic creativity and scientific lifestyle of Shilla people for the life in Buddhist heaven

We cannot stop feeling amazed
