The optimal period to visit Tumuli Park in Gyeongju—a historic area known for its royal tombs and serene landscape—is during the spring and fall seasons. Spring, particularly from late March to early May, offers a splendid view as cherry blossoms and other flowers bloom, creating a picturesque setting ideal for photographers and nature enthusiasts. The pleasant weather with average temperatures ranging from 10°C to 18°C (50°F to 64°F) creates comfortable conditions for exploring the park's extensive grounds and cultural treasures. During this period, the park is a festival of colors, and cultural events often take place, making it a vibrant time to experience the history and tradition of Gyeongju.
On the other hand, autumn, from September to November, is equally remarkable. The foliage transforms Tumuli Park into an autumnal paradise, with the leaves of gingko trees and maples turning vivid shades of yellow, orange, and red. The milder temperatures, ranging from 10°C to 20°C (50°F to 68°F), offer a perfect setting for visitors to enjoy long walks amidst the fall landscape. These months also coincide with the Chuseok holiday, also known as Korean Thanksgiving, when cultural performances and ancestral worship ceremonies may add to the richness of the traveler's experience in Gyeongju.
