Why go

Hwangnyongwon is a Korean Buddhist cultural complex in Gyeongju, designed as a modern reimagining of Hwangnyongsa — the legendary Silla-era nine-story wooden pagoda temple that was destroyed during Mongol invasions. The complex includes a tall reconstructed nine-story pagoda (Centra Pavilion), educational programs on Korean Buddhist history, and meditation programs. For travelers visiting Gyeongju and seriously interested in Korean Buddhist heritage beyond Bulguksa, Hwangnyongwon is one of the cleaner specialty single picks. Pair with Bulguksa and Donggung for a complete Gyeongju Buddhist day.
