La forêt de Gyerim se trouve entre l’observatoire de Cheomseongdae et la forteresse de Wolseong. C’est une épaisse forêt de zelkovas et de saules enracinés sur des petites collines, de part et d’autre d’un petit ruisseau qui coule au Nord Ouest des bois. Selon les légendes, la forêt a un lien très fort avec les mythes qui entourent la naissance de Alji, le fondateur du clan Kim de Gyeongju. C’est pourquoi elle a été désignée Site historique national n° 19.

La légende veut que le roi Talhae entendit un coq crier des profondeurs de la forêt de Sirim. Le chancelier Hogong but envoyé pour enquêter. Arrivé sur place, il trouva un coq criant sous un arbre où pendait une boîte dorée. Hogong retourna faire son rapport au roi, qui lui ordonna de rapporter la boîte doré au palais. Le roi ouvrit la boîte et trouva à l’intérieur un petit enfant, Kim Alji. La forêt, baptisée à l’origine « Sirim » ou « Gurim », devint connue sous le nom de « Gyerim » (« gye » signifie coq). Le nom de Gyerim désignait également le royaume de Silla.

Alji devint le fils adoptif du roi, mais comme la couronne fut transmise au roi Pasa de la famille Park, il n’accéda jamais au trône. Quelques années plus tard, le clan Kim devint la famille régnante avec le couronnement du roi Naemul.

La pierre commémorative marquant la naissance de Kim Alji fut érigée durant la troisième année du règne du roi Sunjo de la dynastie Joseon. Située non loin de la forteresse royale de Silla, la forêt est toujours vénérée avec dévotion comme étant le lieu de naissance mystique du premier ancêtre du clan royal Kim de Silla. Des fleurs de colza jaunes fleurissent le long du chemin reliant Daereungwon avec Gyerim et Banwolseong, rendant l’atmosphère de la forêt encore plus magique

L’Observatoire Cheomseongdae est le plus ancien observatoire astral existant, en Asie. Construit durant le règne de la Reine Seondeok (632-647), il était employé pour observer les étoiles afin de connaître les prévisions météorologiques. Cette pierre architecturale est une belle combinaison de lignes droites et de courbes, désignée comme Trésor National Nº 31, le 20 décembre 1962. L’Observatoire Cheomseongdae a été construit sous la forme d’un cylindre, avec des pierres, grosses de 30cm.

362 pierres ont été empiléees les unes sur les autres pour en faire 27 couches. A 4,16m du fond, il y a une entrée carrée de 1㎡ de superficie et on peut encore y voir l’espace où une échelle y était suspendue. L’intérieur est rempli de terre jusqu’à la douzième couche, et les couches 19, 20, 25 et 26 ont toutes de longues roches qui sont pendues sur deux côtés, sous la forme du caractère chinois suivant: '井' (jeong). Les bouts de ces roches se voient du dehors. Il fait 9,17m de haut et la pierre de base de chaque côté mesure 5,35m. L’Equinoxe Vernal, l’Equinoxe Automnal, le Solstice d’hiver et le Solstice d’été ainsi que les 24 termes solaires étaient déterminés en observant les étoiles. On pense que ce pavillon en pierres a été utilisé comme standard pour décider les directions, le nord, le sud, l’est et l’ouest. 362 pierres ont été employées pour construire cet Observatoire Cheomseongdae. Ce nombre de pierres représente exactement le nombre de jours dans une année du calendrier lunaire.
