I wrote this to leave a record and to help those who might want to hike around on a day trip.

I live in Gyeongsangnam-do, and I have already taken pictures of many places in Busan, and there is nothing to see in the winter, so I was going around Gyeongsangnam-do one by one on the weekends. This Sunday, I had no one to meet and no car, so I thought about where I could go to take pictures in one day and decided to make a day trip to Gyeongju. I thought about it right in the morning and booked a bus ticket right away, so I went without a plan.
The cameras I took were Nikon ZFC + 18140 / Pentax 645 + 75
But the problem was that there were only 3-4 buses going back and forth a day, so I had to go to Gyeongju Intercity Bus Terminal in the morning and take the last bus back in the evening.
took the bus around 10am, got off around 12:20pm, bought just one cup of coffee, and walked straight through Daereungwon to Cheomseongdae. Fortunately, some of the tourist attractions are located close to downtown Gyeongju, so it was convenient to walk there without taking a separate bus.
I walked to [Woljeong Bridge].
After taking some pictures and looking around the exhibits on the second floor, we moved to Hanok Kyochon Village > Choi Buja's House > Hwangridan-gil.
[Kyochon Village] and [Woljeonggyo] were fine, but walking around [Hwangridan-gil] alone was not easy. So, since there was nothing much to see on [Hwangridan-gil], I took a bus to [Bulguksa Temple] at the right time. However, since the bus runs every 30-40 minutes, if I miss it, I'm screwed.
[Bulguksa] I spent time from 4 to 5 PM. I walked around from the main gate of Bulguksa and took pictures. When I came down through the back gate, there were many restaurants and cafes in front of Bulguksa. I chose one of them and bought a coffee. Then I took a bus to [Bunhwangsa] and [Donggunggwawolji].
But when I actually went there, [Bunhwangsa Temple] was closed. [Donggunggwawolji] is open until 10 PM, but [Bunhwangsa Temple] closes at 6 PM, so I couldn't go inside.
I arrived home at 10pm
