Last month, I went to Gyeongju for the first time. It was an exciting trip! I wanted to explore the city and learn about its history.
On the first day, I went sightseeing. I visited a famous museum and saw many old things. The architecture was beautiful. I took photos of the old temples and palaces. The streets were crowded, but I enjoyed walking around.
On the second day, I tried local food at a traditional market. The food was delicious, so I ate a lot! I also looked around the small shops. I bought a small souvenir for my friend. I almost got lost because the market was very big.
I really liked Gyeongju. I want to visit again someday.
지난달, 나는 처음으로 경주에 갔다. 정말 신나는 여행이었다! 나는 도시를 둘러보고 역사에 대해 배우고 싶었다.
첫째 날, 나는 관광을 갔다. 유명한 박물관을 방문하고 오래된 것들을 많이 봤다. 건축물이 아름다웠다. 오래된 사찰과 궁전의 사진을 찍었다. 거리는 붐볐지만, 걸어 다니는 것을 즐겼다.
둘째 날, 전통 시장에서 현지 음식을 먹어봤다. 음식이 맛있어서 많이 먹었다! 작은 상점들도 둘러봤다. 친구에게 줄 작은 기념품을 샀다. 시장이 너무 커서 길을 잃을 뻔했다.
나는 경주가 정말 좋았다. 언젠가 다시 방문하고 싶다.
