Formed from the northern part of historic Gyeongsang Province, Gyeongsangbuk-do developed into South Korea’s largest province by area. Its terrain extends from the Taebaek Mountains to the East Sea, while the Nakdong River crosses the western and central interior. Gyeongju, capital of the Silla kingdom from 57 BCE to 935 CE, preserves royal tombs, temples and major archaeological sites. In Andong, Hahoe Folk Village reflects enduring Confucian traditions and is inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. The province also includes the Ulleungdo islands in the East Sea.
