About this place:

The Bulguk Temple (Bulguksa) is a Buddhist temple which was founded in 528AD, although it suffered much damage over the centuries during various wars and occupations. Restoration of the temple was completed in the 1970s, and it is one of the most beautiful - and most popular - temples to visit in South Korea. It's located about 15km outside of GyeongJu. To reach it, simply take the No. 11 bus, which stops directly in front of both bus stations.
