A shell-mound hill park inside the city

Address

51 Garak-ro 63beon-gil, Gimhae (Bonghwangdae Park)

The hill is built from shells Gaya people ate and tossed away. Pines stand on top, and rebuilt Gaya-era houses run alongside. The shell mound exhibit inside the park shows pottery and burnt rice found here. Walk on to King Suro tomb for a half-day loop.
