Together with the portrayals of devas, bodhisattvas and disciples, sculpted in high and low relief on the surrounding walls, the statues are considered to be a masterpiece of East Asian Buddhist art. The domed ceiling of the rotunda and the entrance corridor employed an innovative construction technique that involved the use of more than 360 stone slabs.

We had a fantastic day in Gyungju. Frank is an excellent knowledgeable guide and we were able to see everything we wanted to within reason given the hot weather. Lunch, Korean bbq, was more expensive than expected but was very delicious. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour and Frank as the tour guide.

Really enjoyed our day in Gyeongju with Frank Yi. Frank picked us up at our cruise ship port for a private tour. It was a beautiful cherry blossom day in Busan and surrounding area and we really enjoyed seeing all the young couples out walking in traditional Korean dress to enjoy the season. Frank took us to beautiful viewing spots, parks, royal tombs and Gyeongju itself. We also experienced a delicious Korean BBQ lunch at an authentic local restaurant. Due to the incredible cherry blossoms, traffic was very heavy and Frank was expert at getting us in and around and back to our ship at night. Frank was fun and knowledgeable. Very good day!
