Found this one when I uploaded the Taiwan post...it's old--we went to Gyeongju in July.
We rented bikes to sight-see around the city.
Gyeongju was the capitol of the Silla Dynasty in the 7-9th centuries, and is known for the "tumuli", or burial mounds that are all over the city and the surrounding area.
Really, they're everywhere.
I really liked this lily garden.
Frogs!
Cheomseongdae, a famous observatory
This little guy, a roof-end tile, is a famous artifact housed in the local museum.
We had great weather for our day of biking, then the next day braved the drizzle and trekked up to one of Korea's most famous temples, Bulguksa.
A little farther out was another famous Buddhist site, Seokguram Grotto.
It's famous for it's domed ceiling (covered by grass, behind the building in the picture) and large stone Buddha.
I'm glad we were able to see so much of Korea while I was there.
