Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond
Inwang-dong, South Korea
Donggung and Wolji bring together palace history, landscaped water and one of Gyeongju’s most atmospheric evening walks. Arrive while there is still some daylight to see the shape of the grounds, then watch the pavilions and their reflections change as the lights come on. The setting is best enjoyed at an unhurried pace rather than from a single photograph spot. Check the last admission time and allow room for queues on busy evenings.
