Cheomseongdae or star-gazing platform was constructed in the 7th century during the Silla Dynasty. Regarded as the oldest surviving astronomical observatory in Asia or possibly even the world, this tower must have witnessed a thousand folds of falling stars and the beauty of the galaxy for the past one thousand years.

You can also rent bicycles if you want a breezier experience. The paths are wide enough for a bike stroll. It could be inconvenient though as the sights will be pulling you off your bike at every spot to get some pics.
