Jungbu-dong
Built around road links alongside Seocheon Stream, Jungbu-dong grew into a central urban district of Gyeongju. Broad arterial streets and large junctions connect the transport-terminal area with nearby housing and the stream corridor, giving this part of the city a distinctly functional rhythm. Gyeongju was the capital of the Silla kingdom for nearly a thousand years, and the Gyeongju Historic Areas are inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Royal tombs, temple sites and archaeological parks across the city place this everyday district within one of Korea’s most important historic urban landscapes. Jungbu-dong introduces the modern movement and infrastructure of Gyeongju beyond its celebrated monuments.
