Gyeongsangbuk-do is located in the southeastern part of Korea. It is the birthplace of Silla Buddhist culture, Gaya culture, and Confucian culture, housing 20% of Korea’s cultural heritage. The core city, Gyeongju, is known as a 'museum without walls'. The wooden architecture of Bulguksa Temple from the Silla period and the stone Buddha statues of Seokguram Grotto represent the pinnacle of artistic achievement; Cheomseongdae is the oldest astronomical observatory in Asia; the night view of Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond (Anapji Pond) is stunning. In addition, Hahoe Folk Village preserves the appearance of a Joseon-era traditional village, and Dosan Seowon is a sacred site of Confucian culture. The most famous local delicacies include Andong Jjimdak (sweet and spicy braised chicken), salted grilled mackerel, Pohang ban dried Pacific saury, and Korean beef BBQ, while traditional ritual rice and pumpkin duck should not be missed.
