Mount Namsan Belt
As the name suggests, this area is on and immediately around a mountain called Namsan. It includes ruins of 122 temples, 53 stone statues, 64 pagodas and 16 stone lanterns. The Namsan Mountain Fortress, Poseokjeong Pavilion site, and Seochulji Pond are also within this area.
Wolseong Belt
The palace site of Wolseong is an expansive area which includes the Gyerim Forest, Imhaejeon Palace and Anapji Pond, and the Cheomseongdae Observatory.

The Tumuli Park Belt includes three groups of Royal Tombs. Most of the tombs are mounds, like small hills, but some are half-moon or gourd-shaped. The tombs contain (aside from coffins) gold, glass, and ceramics.

This includes two Buddhist temples: Bunhwangsa Temple (whatever is left of it) and Hwangnyongsa Temple site. Hwangnyongsa was the largest temple ever built in Korea.
Sanseong Fortress Belt
This area includes the Myeonghwal Sanseong Fortress.
These areas are huge and I was only able to visit some of the sites included in the Wolseong Belt and Tumuli Park Belt.
