Cheomseongdae Observatory while Traveling in Gyeongju South Korea

Here featured is the oldest know astronomical observatory in Asia. I traveled to Gyeongju on a mini trip while teaching English in Korea. Gyeongju is a fascinating city with landmarks dating back to ancient dynasties. At night they light up the observatory and it’s constantly changing colors. Many people gazed in awe.
