About

Located at the western foot of Gyeongju Namsan Mountain, Samneung Royal Tombs is a place where the tombs of the 8th king of Silla, Adallawang, the 53rd king, Sindeok of Silla, and the 54th king, Gyeongmyeong of Silla, are gathered side by side. The pine forest surrounding the tombs is one of the most spectacular sights in Gyeongju, and the pine trees that have guarded the tombs for a long time create a mysterious atmosphere. In particular, the dreamy scenery when the morning sunlight seeps through the pine trees has long been a popular spot loved by photographers.

It is a special space where you can simultaneously feel the history of Silla and the beauty of nature while strolling along the quiet forest path. It is recommended for travelers who want a peaceful rest away from the crowded city center.
