Gyeongju is the hometown of Heo Run, a famous scholar of the Joseon Dynasty, who often praised his hometown of Gyeongju. He once wrote in an article: "On both sides of the rivers, there are fertile fields as far as the eye can see. Jinju, located in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, is such a beautiful town. No matter where you go, you can see the vast plains below the mountains. Rivers flow between the plains, and the beauty of the scenery is breathtaking. Coming to Jinju, one can't help but feel a sense of abundance."
