PASCOS-05 is held at Hotel Hyundai Gyeongju, Gyeongju, Korea.

Gyeongju - the millenary capital of Silla Gyeongju had been the capital of the old Silla dynasty for about 1000 years (57BC--936AD). With the glory of the millenary dynasty, the city is considered as a museum without wall. It is also known to foreigners as a city of mounteen tombs.     Until the late 7th century Korea was divided by three kingdoms, Kokuryo, Baekje, and Silla. In 668 A.D. Silla unified Baekje and 8 years later Kokuryo also. The unified Silla prospered the next two and half centuries, until 936 A.D. when it was annxed by Korea Dynasty. During this period, the Buddism was the national religion and Gyeongju hosts many invaluable treasures from this period, some of which are on the list of the World Cultural Hertage by UNESCO.
