Daereungwon Tumuli Park (Cheonmachong, Hwangnamdaechong), Gyeongju

Tumulus · Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk

A cluster of Silla royal tombs located in the heart of Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do, where enormous burial mounds gather to form a distinctive landscape. The Heavenly Horse Painting (Cheonmado) drawn on a mudguard was excavated from Cheonmachong Tomb, and a splendid gold crown and ornaments were unearthed from Hwangnamdaechong Tomb, demonstrating the level of Silla's golden culture. At Cheonmachong, whose interior is open to the public, you can directly observe the structure of a Silla wooden-chamber tomb with a stone mound. It is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of the Gyeongju Historic Areas.
