About twenty grassy mounds swell up in the middle of the city. Walking the paths, people look tiny next to burial hills the height of a house. Cheonmachong is the one you can enter, to see how a Silla tomb was built and what was buried in it. After dark the lights come on and the place feels completely different; it stays open until 10pm.
