• Bulguksa - Bulguksa is a prominent temple from the Silla Dynasty, established in 751 (the 10th year of King Gyeongdeok’s reign) by Kim Dae-seong. However, according to the “Bulguksa Gogeumchanggi,” it was founded in 528 (the 15th year of King Beopheung’s reign) by King Beopheung’s mother, Lady Yeongje, and Lady Giyun, who became nuns after the martyrdom of Ichadon. Bulguksa represents the Buddhist paradise that the Silla people aspired to, embodying their vision of an ideal world of peace. This aspiration is depicted in three aspects: the Saha world of Sakyamuni Buddha based on the Lotus Sutra, the Paradise of Amitabha Buddha based on the Infinite Life Sutra, and the Lotus World of Vairocana Buddha based on the Avatamsaka Sutra. These are uniquely expressed through the temple’s layout, with sections centered around the Daeungjeon, Geungnakjeon, and Birojeon.

• Seokguram - Seokguram Grotto, founded in 751 (the 10th year of King Gyeongdeok’s reign) by Kim Dae-seong, is a magnificent cultural monument reflecting the faith and wisdom of the Silla people. It is notable not only for its aesthetic beauty but also for embodying the national spirit of the Silla people, who created such a masterpiece. Seokguram Grotto is a testament to the Silla people’s faith and a symbol of national unity, where rulers and citizens harmonized. It should be viewed as a national endeavor rather than just Kim Dae-seong’s personal project.

Among the artifacts, a painting of a white Cheonmado flying into the sky, made of birch bark, was discovered, giving the tomb its name. Additionally, paintings of a Western king and a horseman were found. Located in Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do (within Daereungwon), the tomb’s interior has been restored and is open to the public.

• Yongdusan Park - Yongdusan Mountain is one of Busan’s three famous mountains.
