Gyeongju National Park (Korean: 경주국립공원, 慶州國立公園) is located in the providence of Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea, and is the country's only historical national park.[1] It was first designated a national park in 1968. The park covers many of the principal Silla historical sites in Gyeongju City. It is divided into several non-contiguous sections: Gumisan and Danseoksan sections to the west of the city center; Hwarang, Seo-ak, Sogeumgang, and Namsan sections in the heart of Gyeongju; Tohamsan section to the east, and Daebon section on the coast of the Sea of Japan (East Sea).
