"Granfuoco" is a good restaurant for western food. Since the chef worked for famous hotels in Korea, taste of the food is great. There are 3 menu for lunch - Pasta(11,000 KRW), Risotto(11,000KRW), Steak(13,000 KRW) with salad, soup, bread, coffee. Many workers around here visit here for lunch and this restaurant is not so big, you may wait at lunchtime on weekdays.
I think that highlight of the restaurant is dinner. The chef chooses 10 menus in a day and serve you with no bounds. If you want more food everything you want even steak, they serve as pleasure. The dinner menu would be changed everyday, but usually available menus have steak, pasta, risotto. Price for dinner is 28,380KRW for one man (added 10% V.A.T. included, No tip needed).
It is located near Samsung station(green line of Seoul metro). If you want go there, take metro to exit 3 or 4. Wanna detail address and location? Just search in Google map for "그랑뿌꼬".
An interesting facts about Cheonmachong's past have just come to light lately. Two horn on head is found by infrared camera. And then the picture seems "Girin", not a flying horse. Girin is a imaginary an animal like a unicorn. Many believe Girin is a symbol of good fortune.
Cheonmachong is part of Daereungwon. There are royal tombs, pine grove , pond in Daereungwon. Daereungwon is well gardened. Visitors should feel that they are in a small park.
I recommend visiting there on a weekday. Since there are many group tourists, it's very crowded on weekend.
Bulguksa(or Bulguk temple) is UNESCO World Heritage. It was built by Daeseong, Kim in Silla period. Eaves of beautiful curves are great. There are 2 famous pagodas in the temple. Each names Seokgatop, Dabotop. Seokgatop is simple, but masculine. Dabotop is delicate pagoda with the womanly beauty.
Seokgulam Grotto was add UNESCO World Heritage List in 1995 with Bulguksa Temple. It is near BulgukSa.
There are many foreigners. It is very crowded when time for school excursion and weekend. Visiting Bulguksa on a weekdays is highly recommended! Admission fee is not cheap, 4,000 KRW(Korean Won) for an adult.

Anapji, or Anap Pond is an artificial pond in Gyeongju , South Korea. Official name is Imhaejeonji(it means pond with building faced to sea). Since many ducks and wild gooses come to here, poets in Chosun period call Anapji(Anap means duck and wild goose). It was part of royal palace of Silla.
A night view if Anapji is excellent. Anapji is located in central Gyeongju city, easy to find, easy to go. Walking after dinner is good for traveler.
There are lots of lotus near Anapji. It's very beautiful when the lotus blossoms are in full bloom on July or August.
Admission fee is 1,000 KRW. There is parking lot in front of the entrance. Parking fee is free.
