  • I enjoyed this place wherein you can see tombs. They called this place Royal Tomb of King teajong Muyeol as you can see his tomb in the peak of the area. There are also three small tombs below the tomb of King Taejong Muyeol which is said to be related to the king. When we visit the place, there are also many tourists coming along to see the beauty of the place.
  • Our guide explained to us that the you can tell from the turtle tombstone cultural characteristics of Shilla. The turtle is crawling confidently with it's neck outstretched. The legs look as if it is crawling fast because you can count 5 toes on the front 2 feet whereas the back two feet only show 4 toes as they are dug into the ground while moving purposefully.
