Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond in Gyeongju


#Donggung Palace and #Wolji Pond in Gyeongju is an artificial pond in Gyeongju National Park, South Korea. It was part of the palace complex of ancient Silla. It was constructed by order of King Munmu in 674 CE. 
Although the palace site is opened during the day and night, the best time to go is just before dusk (that's about 7:00pm during summer). Then one can view the bu
ildings (which will then be lit with spotlights) against the kaleidoscope of a changing sky from bright to dark blue to black.
I visited the beautiful Apaji pond also called Wolji pond at night. The view was awesome with beautiful lighting and reflections.
This is the most beautiful place.

We started our journey in the morning at 6am and reached the Boseong Daehan Dawon tea plantation at 9am. The place so beautiful with lovely view. Great place to get beautiful pictures. The best part was all the resturants have food, tea, coffee and ice-cream with green tea. The ice-cream and shake was so fresh. I could taste the real green tea. Also the green tea is famous for its numerous advantages as it has anti-oxidants. I bought the tea and green tea chocolate. It was fun to be there. The number of green tea plantations in the region, set on a hillside with rows and rows of green tea bushes were just amazing. Really a scenic view!
