Close to Gyeongju city, you can go hiking on a mountain holding all kinds of surprises like Buddha statues carved out in rocks, pagodas, monasteries, statues, tombs, added to some fine views of the surroundings.
I walked down Namsan mountain further south, always enjoying the very pleasant smell of the pine forest. I reached Yongjangsa site; at the top, I saw a three-storey stone pagoda on a ledge. This offered beautiful views into the valleys below me, as well as the mountains further south. I could also see the path I was to follow, which took me to another Buddha image carved out in a rock, as well as a three-wheeled pedestal on which a Buddha image without head was seated. I noticed that this part of Namsan was much quieter than the other side of the mountain, and I just sat in the sun enjoying this peaceful place, enjoying and letting my thoughts go. Eventually, I descended the mountain and took a bus back to Gyeongju from Yongjang-ri.
