Gyeongju seeks sustainable ways to grow as city of cultural heritage
경주시, 지속가능한 관광 사업 개발
Tourism is a sizeable source of income for Korea's cultural capital of Gyeongju.
So the city is developing new ways to pass on its magnificent cultural assets from more than a thousand years back to the next generation.
Oh Soo-young gives us a tour in our news feature tonight.
Hwangnyongsa History and Culture Center, Gyeongju
ZEROON
Hello
Every year, the city of Gyeongju attracts millions of tourists with its numerous cultural attractions, from traditional hanok houses and elaborate sculptures to magnificent Buddhist temples.
Singyeongju Station, Gyeongju
A mere two hours south of Seoul on the KTX bullet train,... the former capital of the Silla Kingdom is known as a museum without walls.
In recent years, however, the city has ventured beyond its traditional tourist hotspots to develop new and sustainable attractions. And that's what I'm here to see today.
Hwangnyongsa Temple Site, Gyeongju
Just a five-minute drive from the city center,... lies the remains of the biggest Buddhist temple built in the Silla Dynasty.
Hwangnyongsa Temple was built in 569 AD, during the apex of the dynasty.
The nine-story pagoda beside it, at 80 meters high,
was the tallest structure in Asia at the time -- a testimony to the kingdom's unity and strength.
However, the entire site was burned to the ground during the Mongolian invasion in the mid 12-hundreds, leaving only a few stones remaining.
Efforts to restore the temple site began in the late 1970s and continue to this date.
Considering the sheer size of Hwangnyongsa Temple, we will begin by restoring the southern gate starting next year. Once we acquire enough historical evidence, we will restore the nine-story tower and the main hall.
A stone's throw away, there's a recently opened cultural center to promote these restoration efforts.
A scale model of the nine-story pagoda stands in the hall.
It's a tenth of the actual size, but the details are remarkably meticulous.
Over eight years, based on historical records of the tower and other relics, the model restored the original's details to the fullest.
The center exhibits key artifacts from more than 40-thousand relics dug up from the site.
Among them is the Challjubongi, a historical text that gives account of how the temple was built and maintained.
And this piece played an important role in the restoration efforts.
A digital display offers a view from the balcony 13 centuries ago, featuring rows of quaint hanok houses against a serene mountainous backdrop.
More than a flashback of the past, it is rather a vision of what could be, once the site is restored to its former glory.
Sociocultural sustainability also includes restoring what existed only in old texts and materializing such relics for future generations. Being able to touch and experience something is a completely different experience than just seeing it through text. So restoration work through historical research ultimately helps Gyeongju further instill its cultural identity.
Gyeongju East Palace Garden, Gyeongju
West of the city center, huge hanok houses made of glass impose their presence.
It's a modern-day take on the East Palace and Wolji Pond, where rare plants, birds and animals were raised for the first time in Korea, according to historical records.
Inside the botanical gardens, there is a jungle of more than 4-hundred plant types from all over the world.
Eccentric flowers and plants from tropical countries put an exotic spin on the otherwise traditional setting.
There are traces of history everywhere, like a mini palatial pond and lotus engravings on the paths.
Crossing over to the Bird Park, visitors can find more than 200 types of birds, from ducks and parrots to flamingos and toucans.
Snakes, badgers and other creatures can also be spotted.
The complex is the first and biggest experiential zoo and garden in the country, a place to enjoy and interact with nature's finest as our ancestors did for the first time in this city.
Two years and five months into our opening in September 2013, we hit one million visitors, so that's around 400-thousand a year. Because of its popularity, a second botanical and zoo complex will be built.
Diverse and authentic cultural experiences bring more tourists to a region, which spurs local spending and, eventually, invigorates the local economy. So restoration projects with a modern twist, like the Gyeongju East Palace Garden, play a vital role in that sense.
Reviving its glorious past, the city of Gyeongju is building up new landmarks to further enhance its role as the capital of Korea's cultural heritage.

Korea: National Museum Of Korea
The National Museum of Korea is located only 1.5km away from Yongsan Station. It is the largest museum in Korea and houses precious Korean cultural assets that silently tell the story of Korea's fascinating history, from ancient days to the modern era. The museum, in turn, is close to Yongsan Family Park, a wooded grassland with a pond that serves as a natural habitat for various species of birds, as well as over 80 different kinds of trees. The War Memorial of Korea is located approximately 1km from Yongsan Station toward Samgakji. It displays a daunting array of collections and wartime relics.
In addition to galleries with a wide array of national and international pieces, the National Museum of Korea is the stage for a number of cultural activities related to relics collection and preservation, research and analysis, social training, academic publications, international cultural exchange programs, concerts, and more. Visitors of all ages have the opportunity to participate in a number of educational events and quality cultural programs. For those who prefer to tour at a leisurely pace, the museum grounds have a number of environmentally friendly spaces and rest areas.

BURNSOO SONG AT GARBOUSHIAN GALLERY
Film by Eric Minh Swenson.
Garboushian Gallery is pleased to present work by acclaimed Korean artist BurnSoo Song in his inaugural exhibition with the gallery. Highly esteemed internationally, Song's visual work has been the focus of several prominent museum exhibitions in both France and Korea, and we are thrilled to be showcasing his work for the first time in the United States, an exhibition for which the artist will be present. Song has been called a transcendentalist in the passage of time and space, a visceral man of nature attuned to the extravagant forces of the universe. Working in a wide variety of materials including acrylic coloring on Korean handmade Mulberry paper, lithography, sculpture, graphite and large-scale tapestries, Song exemplifies the idea of the artist as maverick thinker, extending boundaries both conceptually and stylistically, utilizing unconventional materials in the service of a bold and provocative vision.
Drawing largely on natural imagery, Song dismantles the familiar representation of the thorn, excising the image from its metaphorical meaning, pursuing it instead as a purely physical and literal object. It is this objectness, how a thing can exist in space and time, necessarily burdened with its own inherent shadows, nuances and obvious distinctions, that both captivates and motivates Song. The thorn is essentially stripped of its physical properties, transforming beyond the meanings that have come to be attached to it, i.e. religious and or spiritual connotations. These images are extrapolated from their own shadows, the underpinnings, the implied gestures that inform these objects as unique in and of themselves, separate from, yet completely connected to the artist's essential impulse to create them at all.
BURNSOO SONG - The Creations of Energy (Grey)
Burnsoo Song was born (1943) in Gyeryongmyun, Gong-Ju, Chung-Nam, Korea, and has exhibited his work widely both nationally and internationally. His work is included in many notable collections including the TOTAL Museum of Contemporary Art, Seoul, National Museum of Contemporary Art, Seoul, National Museum of Budapest, Hungary, National theatre of Jangchung-dong, Seoul Korea, KTX Yongsan Station, Seoul, Embassy of Korea, Kuwait, Lucky Goldstar Metal Reasearch Institute, YongIn Korea, Seoul City Museum of Art, the Busan City Museum of Art. Exhibiting since the early 1960's Song is currently Emeritus Professor of Fine Art College of Hong-ik University, Seoul, Korea. Song has also exhibited widely throughout Europe, and has been the recipient of many prestigious awards including the On the Occasion of the 1000th anniversary of the foundation of the Hungarian State (First Golden Fleece Prize, The Hungarian Cultural Heritage Budapest, Hungary), and The Lausanne Beijing-International Tapestry Art Biennale (Honor Grand Prize, Beijing China).

Realizing the Way of the Buddha at Geumgang Gyedan in Tongdosa Temple
Every Korean temple has its unique colors. Among them, three temples in particular are called the Three Jewel Monasteries because each of them has one of the three jewels of Buddhism: bul (Buddha), beop (Dharma), and seung (sangha).
Tongdosa where there are the relics of the Buddha is called Bulbosachal (Buddha-jewel monastery), Haeinsa where there is Plaman daejanggyeong that contains the words of the Buddha is called Beopbosachal (dharma-jewel monastery), and Songwangsa that has produced many great priests is called Seungbosachal (sangha-jewel monastery).
Among them, Tongdosa is regarded as a place where the real Buddha is breathing as they have the jinsinsari (sacred relics of the Buddha) in Daeungjeon. Furthermore, the temple has unique architectural beauty because each of the four sides of the building looks like the front.
Geumgang Gyedan is where the sugyesik (ordinations) is held which is the most important step in the process of becoming a monk. Geumgang Gyedan where we realize the way and the truth is the Buddha itself, and we bow, pray, and seek teachings in front of the Buddha.
Let's look at the unique Buddhist architecture of the Daeungjeon and Geumgang Gyedan in Tongdosa where the jewels of the Buddha which were handed over from Jajangyulsa.

Traditional Village in South Korea (Korea on the Edge)
Looking for a comprehensive crash-course in Korean cultural history? The Korean Folk Village is a must-see for history buffs, cultural curiosity seekers, and travelers in general. Tale a trip back in time and see what life was like during the different periods of Korean history. The village was relocated from traditional villages around Korea and recreated here during the Saemaeul Movement (movement for regional development) of the 1970s, and no expense was spared in resurrecting the sights and sounds of historic Korea. Every aspect of ancestral life is recreated, from growing and harvesting crops to creating beautiful hand-crafted pottery, garments and traditional woven bamboo handcrafts called Chaesang. See traditional Shamanistic ceremonies performed beside the breathtaking backdrop of mountains and nearby river. This world class outdoor museum offers Koreans and foreigners alike an invaluable glimpse into the rich culture of Korean history, displaying reconstructions of 168 traditional houses from all of the different regions nestled among other buildings housing traditional artists recreating the handicrafts of their ancestors in brassware, masks, musical instruments, knotting and embroidery, furniture, foodÖ the list goes on. Visit the Manor House, the Korean herb drugstore, the traditional marketplace, the sculpture park, and the numerous folk museums arranged by period. There is a seemingly endless list of sights and scenery to be enjoyed, so take a trip to the village and see it all for yourself! The village is easily accessed by express bus from downtown Seoul or Suwon, and it is an experience without which no trip to the Land of the Morning Calm would be complete.
