On a hill called Gujibong (구지봉 = turtle back hill), there lies a dolmen on which often hikers sit to see the spectacle view of Gimae city inspire of the surrounding fence.
The local myth tells that a golden box fastened with a purple rope fell from the heaven, the locals found 6 eggs and 6 babies came out from them, later they became the kings of Gaya kingdoms confederacy. Near the Gujibong there lie the mausolea of an oviparous king and his wife from India. The mausolea should be a kind of King Arthur's grave but this dolmen might be a tomb stone of a Geumgwan Gaya (ancient Gimae) king.
