Buyeo & Gongju Private Tour
Overview
Explore the ancient capitals of the glorious Baekje Dynasty with your private guide!
Get on a private van from Seoul and head to the home of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Buyeo & Gongju, located in South Chungcheong Province. Buyeo was the capital of Baekje Dynasty during 538~660 AD and its amazing legends continue to live beyond the time. Spend a full day at Buyeo or drop by the neighboring city, Gongju to witness the earlier legacy prior to the Buyeo Era.
Why this tour?
Baekje was one of the 3 ancient kingdoms on the Korean peninsula (Baekje, Silla, and Goguryeo) and it lasted for about 700 years (18 BC ~ 660 AD). Baekje was founded near Han River, Seoul, and moved its capital twice: Gongju was the second capital and Buyeo was the third.In 2015, 8 historical sites of late Baekje Kingdom era were designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Among the 8 sites, 4 of them are located in Buyeo, 2 in Gongju and 2 in Iksan.
Suggested itinerary:
▲ Seodong Park & Gungnamji Pond
Stroll through Seodong Park and Gungnamji Pond, the oldest known artificial garden in Korea, created during the Baekje period. Learn the legend of King Mu tied to the pond, and see traces of early landscape design around the water. With its central island and seasonal scenery, the area reflects Baekje’s advanced garden techniques.
▲ Buyeo National Museum
Discover relics of the Baekje Kingdom at Buyeo National Museum, first established in 1929 to preserve the region’s historical heritage. Explore four exhibition halls and an outdoor display showcasing around 1,000 artifacts at its current site near Busosan Mountain.
▲ Baekje Cultural Land
Visit Baekje Cultural Land, Korea's largest history-themed park dedicated to the legacy of the Baekje Kingdom. Walk through reconstructed landmarks such as Sabigung Palace, Neungsa Temple, and Wiryeseong Fortress, each reflecting different eras of Baekje history. Enjoy wide views of the entire complex from Jehyangnu Pavilion.
▲ Muryeongwangneung (Tomb of King Muryeong & Songsanri Royal Tombs)
Explore Muryeongwangneung and the Songsanri Royal Tombs, burial sites of Baekje kings from the Gongju period. See both traditional Baekje-style tombs and Chinese-influenced designs, reflecting cultural exchange of the era. The site offers key insight into royal life and funerary traditions of the Baekje Kingdom.
