About

It is a tomb complex where 23 tombs of kings and nobles from the Silla period are gathered. The giant grass-covered tombs form smooth ridges, creating a unique and beautiful landscape. Especially in 'Cheonmachong (Heavenly Horse Tomb)', where the interior is open to the public, you can directly see splendid Silla artifacts including gold crowns, and you can also feel the grandeur of the giant double tomb 'Hwangnam tomb'.

Take a walk along the quiet pine forest path and feel the breath of Silla from 1,500 years ago. In the evening, the lights are turned on, adding a romantic atmosphere.
