		The many roofs of Bulguksa can be seen from the highest vantage point (up a flight of steps) in the complex and the sight is impressive to say the least.
		Bulguksa is 16km east of Kyongju by bus.
		Given that Seokguram is at a higher elevation than Bulguksa, it is probably best to arrive by bus and descend by foot trail to avoid the steep climb.

	SOKKURAM NOTES
		Carved during the middle of the 8th century during the reign of the Silla King Kyongdok, Sokkuram Grotto's grandeur is definitely related to the increased spreading of Buddhism as a ruling ideology.
		The placement of the central Buddha statue, so that it gazes precisely in the direction of the underwater tomb of King Munmu located just off the coast in the East Sea, suggests that the grotto may have been built to glorify the king and his royal lineage.
		During the Choson period, or at least during portions of it, Buddhism was officially discouraged and both Bulguksa and Sokkuram fell into disrepair.

	SOKKURAM
		Sokkuram was carved at about the same time as Bulguksa was originally constructed, in the middle of the 8th century during the reign of the Silla King Kyongdok.
		Legendarily it was the work of Prime Minister Kim Taesong, who also planned Bulguksa, and was constructed to honor the parents of his former life (see Bulguksa section).
		However, some details, particularly the placement of the central Buddha statue such that it gazes precisely in the direction of the underwater tomb of King Munmu located just off the coast in the East Sea, suggest that the carvings may have been executed to glorify the king or the royal lineage instead.

		Unknownst to many, a great fishpond used to surround this structure (you can still see old algae at the base) and the bridges were the only way to go to Bulguksa.
