A YouTube Tour of Bulguksa and Seokguram



Here's an NHK production featuring Bulguksa and Seokguram in Gyeongju. The video clip is a bit too short for my liking especially the abrupt transition into the interior of Seokguram but there are some nice angled shots and close-ups. Better than amateur hand-held cam videos that give one a headache from all the reflective glass in the grotto and jerky camerawork.

Click here for another video on Seokguram and Bulguksa. It's older - judging from the older spelling i.e. Pulguksa and Sokkuram  and the sound quality isn't good but it's even more enlightening.
