The Gyeongju Geumgangsan Pyogampoong Area is centered in present-day Gyeongju, the center of Silla's royal capital, surrounded by four mountains forming the Gyeongju Basin. The area spans approximately 1,120 meters north to south from the summit of Sogimgansan (elevation 176.7m) to where Pyogam and Talhaewang Mausoleum are located, with a maximum east-west width of 724 meters. The area contains early Silla historical sites, Buddhist remains including Baekryulsa and Gulbulsa Ruins, and the Dongcheon-dong Burial Mound Group consisting of 6th-7th century Silla horizontal-entrance stone chamber tombs. The Geumgangsan Pyogampoong Area contains 2 nationally designated cultural properties: the Stone Buddha Triad Carving at Gyeongju Gulbulsa Ruins (Treasure) and Gyeongju Talhaewang Mausoleum (Historic Site). Furthermore, the Baekryulsa Gilt-bronze Standing Buddha (National Treasure) and the Idae-don Martyrdom Monument, now at the National Gyeongju Museum, were originally relocated from Geumgangsan and are significant cultural heritage in the history of Silla Buddhist culture.
