165-ri (1 ri= 4km)/ 75-ri Walking on a moonlit Silla night The 165-ri/75-ri-long walk on a moonlit night of Silla is hosted by a group of people who love the city of Gyeongju. The moonlit walks began in 2000, with an aim to build up discipline and endurance while walking together on a moonlit night in the surroundings of Gyeongju, a city of history and culture, and sharing the breezes redolent of traces of the Silla Kingdom and its thousand-year-long history.
