The Chinese tour guide Kim Geum-sil gave a great explanation and was very good at taking photos. The only drawback is that Gyeongju is too far away and the drive time is long, but it is really a great trip.

It’s really not an easy place to get to. In addition to meeting the purpose of taking photos and traveling with a small group tour, the professional tour guide also allows us to better understand the history and traces of the past. It is very worthwhile.
