The temple now holds seven national treasures and numerous additional important heritages and was designated a World Cultural Heritage Site along with the nearby Seokguram Grotto by UNESCO in December 1995. It is also ideal for a maple leaves tour.
- Donggung Palace And Wolji Pond - Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond in Gyeongju are secondary palace sites of Silla. The palace, along with other secondary palaces, was used as the eastern palace where the prince lived, and banquets were held during auspicious events or to welcome important guests.
- Woljeonggyo Bridge - Woljeonggyo Bridge, located in Gyo-dong, Gyeongju, was built during the Unified Silla period (AD 676-935) but was burnt down during the Joseon dynasty. Through historical research, the bridge was rebuilt in April 2018 to become the largest wooden bridge in Korea.
- Gyeongju Gyochon Traditional Village - Similar to the Yangdong Folk Village, the Gyeongju Gyochon Village is another traditional village of old hanok houses that offers visitors a glimpse into life during the Joseon period. One of the famous sites here is the Gyeongju Hyanggyo, a Confucian academy and shrine, where Korea’s first state-operated educational institute “Gukhak” was established in 682.
- Daereungwon Tomb Complex - The tomb is thought to have been constructed between the late 5th century and early 6th century.

Cheonmachong Tomb is the only tomb in the Daereungwon Ancient Tombs to be opened to the public.
- Hwangnidan-gil - The street is home to numerous restaurants, cafes, photo studios, and shops housed in traditional hanok buildings, making it popular among the younger generations in Korea.
