Cheomseongdae es el observatorio astronómico más antiguo que existe en Asia. Construido durante el reinado de la reina Seondeok (632-647), fue utilizado para observar las estrellas y pronosticar el tiempo. Esta construcción de piedra es una hermosa combinación de líneas rectas y curvas, y fue designada como Tesoro Nacional el 20 de diciembre de 1962. Cheomseongdae fue construido con forma cilíndrica, con piedras de 30 cm de diámetro. Fueron apiladas 362 piedras para hacer 27 niveles. Aproximadamente a 4,16 m de altura desde el pie hay una entrada cuadrada de 1 ㎡ y un lugar para colocar una escalera de mano bajo ella. El interior está repleto con tierra hasta el nivel 12, y los niveles 19, 20, 25 y 26 tienen todos largas rocas aferradas en dos áreas, para formar la letra china “井” (jeong). Mide 9,17 m de altura y la piedra de la base de cada lado mide 5,35 m. El equinoccio primaveral y otoñal, los solsticios de invierno y de verano y los 24 períodos solares (también conocidos como el año solar astronómico) eran determinados por la observación de las estrellas. La letra “jeong” de piedra de la cima del observatorio, se cree que se ha utilizado como estándar para decidir las direcciones: norte, sur, este y oeste. Las 362 piedras utilizadas para construir Cheomseongdae representaban los 362 días del año lunar.

Seokbinggo significa "congelador hecho en las rocas". Es un refrigerador antiguo de Corea, único en el mundo, y está situado en Gyeongju, la antigua capital del reino de Silla (57 a.C.-935). La apariencia externa de esta maravilla es sumamente humilde y simple. Sin embargo, no se sentirá defraudado una vez se haya asomado a la entrada de este congelador, pues sentirá el frío proveniente del interior de la estructura rocosa. La mitad de Seokbinggo se encuentra en el subsuelo mientras que la otra mitad está por encima del nivel del suelo, demostrando la propensión científica de la gente de Silla. Su piso, paredes y techo están hechas de granito y tiene una entrada de aire. Las paredes están cubiertas de cal para impedir el paso de la humedad y agua. El piso está inclinado para permitir que el hielo derretido fluya fuera de la cabina. Como material aislante, se usó la paja, cuyo poder aislante es altamente eficaz según experimentos realizados por científicos de la actualidad. El hielo conservado en este congelador era una de las delicias preferidas de la clase noble. En los anales históricos se hallaron registros sobre este Seokbinggo y se tienen pruebas de que fue construido, al menos, hace 1.500 años.

Inwang-dong, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do.
Este fue el lugar de la fortaleza del palacio durante la dinastía Silla (57 a.C. - 935). El nombre de la fortaleza significa literalmente 'luna creciente encima del monte'.
Los famosos libros de Samgukyusa dicen que el cuarto rey de Silla, Seoktalhae (57 a 80) pensaba que esta área era ideal para la fortaleza y compró la tierra a un noble. El segundo rey Namhae (4 a 24), impresionado por la acción de Seoktalhae, lo acogió como hijo más tarde, convirtiéndolo en el cuarto rey. La zona estuvo entonces bajo mandato de Silla por 900 años, siendo el último rey, Gyeongsun (927 a 935). A pesar de la magnífica grandeza del palacio, ahora es solo un terreno baldío, y según dicen estaba llena de edificios imperiales de la dinastía Silla.
En la actualidad, la zona de Wolseong tiene un congelador hecho de rocas llamado Seokbinggo, un lugar para arquería, un campo de carreras de caballo y un parque infantil, que se asemeja a los terrenos del período Joseon (la dinastía que gobernó en la península coreana desde 1392 a 1910).
