The capital of Silla, which has been on the Korean Peninsula for nearly a thousand years, is Gyeongju. There are still many tombs of kings and royalty of that era in Gyeongju, and it is a book that talks about the history and culture of Silla through the tombs. Gyeongju is a small but peaceful city. I recommend Gyeongju if you want to visit another city on your trip to Korea.
The tomb of King Munmu, an underwater tomb, is also called Daewangam. The Royal Tomb is located in the sea about 200 meters away from the land, surrounded by large rocks, and stones dedicated to the floor were placed in a slightly wide space in the center.

The king said his last word that if he cremated and buried his remains in the East Sea, he would become a dragon and keep the country in peace.
