I got a book "The Road Less Traveled" which are more of comparison between places. By then, I was intrigue in an entry there: "Gyeongju vs Kyoto - Japan's ancient capital has been spoiled, but the pride of Korea is still full of treasures".
Perhaps, because Kyoto already established the places to see. Although, there are temples are also secured from the tourists. But in Gyeongju, there are still multiple untouched tombs and some are still under exploration, a place known as "Gyeongju Historical Sites". Gyeongju, previously capital of the Silla Dynasty, lives by its name "museum without walls". Roaming around by bus, you'll see hills left and right of the road as tombs of the royals from Korea's history.
