My UNESCO WHS List

This blog puts together some of my passions: travelling, especially to UNESCO World Heritage Sites (WHS); philately (collecting stamps); deltiology (collecting postcards); and doing research into TUIs (i.e., totally useless information) of things that interest me. Hence, it catalogues UNESCO WHS that I have been to, stamps showing UNESCO WHS that I have, as well as postcards featuring UNESCO WHS that I have received (i.e., stamped and posted) and maxicards and postal cards (both used or unused).

The Silla Kingdom lasted for nearly 1,000 years, between 57BCE and 935CE. Especially from the 7^th century CE onwards, many exceptional examples of Korean Buddhist art and architecture were created, including sculptures, reliefs, pagodas, as well as religious and secular buildings. Included in this site are other secular structures and sites, including palaces, tumuli (tombs), ponds, and woodlands.
