Gyeongju is perhaps Koreas foremost historical site. The ancient capital of the Silla Empire, this city and its surrounding hills are full of all kinds of relics. Another legacy of the past, dozens of immense grass mounds, the burial tombs of ancient rulers. Smaller versions of these can be found all over Korean hill and mountainsides as this form of burial is still widely practiced by Koreans. South Korea, Gyeongju - 26-Nov-01
