Step into a time machine disguised as a city! Gyeongju, the Republic of Korea’s 1,000-year-old former capital, is making history again as APEC members gather to shape tomorrow’s tech and trade policies. 🏯💡
CGTN’s Yang Xinmeng uncovers how this UNESCO-listed "museum without walls" bridges ancient wisdom and modern innovation. From Buddhist temples whispering tales of Silk Road exchanges to buzzing tech zones prototyping AI solutions, Gyeongju proves that progress doesn’t erase the past—it builds on it.
"The same mountains that sheltered scholars studying astronomy 800 years ago now overlook labs developing quantum computing," Yang notes. With APEC leaders debating sustainable growth, could this serene city hold clues to balancing tradition and transformation? 🌱🔗
Fun fact: Locals joke that their ancestors’ real social network was the Silk Road. Today, 5G towers stand where pagodas once reached for the sky. 📡⛩️
