The tombs are distributed in Hwangnam-dong, Gyeongju-si, and are located in the Daereungwon area. Within Daereungwon Tomb Complex is Cheonmachong Tomb, which was excavated in 1973. Furthermore, Hwangnamdaechong Tomb was excavated between 1973 and 1975, and is a set of twin tombs belonging to a presumed married couple. ◎ Hallyu Travel Information - Drama This park, where Bora spent free time during her school trip in , is densely filled with ancient tombs. About 20 large tombs create a dreamy atmosphere as if drawing a ridgeline. The spot with a magnolia tree standing between the tombs is famous as a photo zone. We recommend visiting Cheonmachong, the only tomb with its interior open to the public.
