01. Mt. Hallasan, the Highest Holy Mountain in South Korea • Name of the site. Hallasan Natural Reserve • Location. Jeju-si and Seogwipo-si
• Area. 164.401 Sq. Km(Core area 90.931 Sq. Km, Buffer area 73.474 Sq. Km) • National Designated Cultural Item. Natural Monument No.182 (1996)
Mt. Hallasan which rises 1,950m above sea level is the highest mountain in South Korea. Baengnokdam, the crater and lake located at the peak of Mt. Hallasan, and about 40 oreums, a beautiful sight of steep and fantastic rock cliffs are designated in 1966 and 1970 as Nature Monument and National Park respectively, and in 2002 designated as a biosphere reserve area by UNESCO. As the peak of Mt. Hallasan is made of diverse volcanic characteristics, depending on the angle of one’s view, one can feel its uniqueness. To the west of Baengnokdam crater, a steep shape formed by basalt lava of high viscosity is found and to the east, low viscosity basalt lava formed a gentle plateau. The south slope is so beautiful that it is captured in a folktale which states the story of immortals that played in the lake. Mt. Hallasan is also a mountain where fir tree forest is found which is unique of its kind in the world. At 1,400m above sea level an endemic species of cinder cones including pine trees are grown. It also possesses an outstanding biological research value in the study of cinder cones. Besides this at 1,700m, are distributed 39 different kinds of polar species which play very important part in the study of alpine life such as, Jeju weasel, Jeju salamander, women diver snake, etc., are seen in Mt. Hallasan. Well endowed with natural resources of scientific values, Mt. Hallasan is a noted mountain worldwide.

A fairy tale like story of basaltic lava that flew underneath the earth’s surface spewed out and formed deep caves, are found in Jeju. Geomun Oreum Lava Tube System which stretches from Jocheoneup to Hengwon-ri, was formed by the eruption of a rich basaltic Geomun Oreum volcano and is situated atop an elevation of 456m above sea level. It was formed between 100,000 to 300,000 years ago and has 9 caves altogether. Among them Bengdwigul, Manjanggul, Yongcheondonggul, Dangcheomuldonggul have been inscribed as National Nature Monument. As all the tubes are exceptionally magnificent and ancient, the condition of preservation is commendable.

03. Oreum of the Rising Sun, Seongsan Ilchulbong • Designation. Seongsan Ilchulbong Tuff Cone • Location. Seogwipo-si
• Area. 1.688 sq. km (Core area 0.518 sq. km, Buffer area 1.17 sq. km)
On the east coast of Jeju is situated the 182m Seongsan Ilchulbong which looks like a grand old castle. It was formed 5,000 years ago by an underwater eruption on the shallow sea bed. Especially the exquisite inner structure which looks like a bowl formed with crater and slope, excluding the North West side and the repeated process of eating away and depositing by waves, all joined together make a surpassing sight. With a background of sun rising in the east beyond the horizon, the beauty of Seongsan Ilchulbong is beyond words description. That is why many people gather in this place on New Year morning to see the sun rise. The fatal attraction of the vast sea beneath a steep cliff and the white bubbles made by blue waves are so beautiful that it stirs up one for a moment a desire to plunge into the sea. In addition, it is also recognized worldwide as a base for researches in past volcano eruptions and under water volcanoes.

The Legend of Jeju’s Origin
Story of the beginning of the world Creation Myth The world had been dark for a long time. Suddenly, dawn broke and the energy of dawn began to hang over the world covered with darkness and chaos. The sky opened at the first hour of the first day of the first month of the first year. The ground cracked opened at the second hour of the second day of the second month of the second year. The boundary between heaven and earth became clearer. When the earth cracked, the ground shot up and water flowed down. At this time, blue dew from the sky and black dew from the ground were united and everything started to be formed. The stars were formed first: Altair in the east, Vega in the west, Canopus in the south, the Big Dipper in the north and the Orion Belt in the center. The multitude of stars filled the space in the sky. It was still dark but blue clouds in the east, white clouds in the west, red clouds in the south, black clouds in the north and yellow clouds in the center began coming and going. At one point, the light of day started to break after all the chickens cried as the Cheonhwang chicken lifted its neck. The Jihwang chicken flapped its wings and the Inhwang chicken lifted its tail. Then the King of Heaven and Earth sent two suns and two moons to the earth, completely opening the sky.
JEJU
02. STORY OF JEJU
A song of yearning that echoes in the beautiful island of woes, Grandmother Seolmundae and the Five Hundred Generals Once upon a time there lived a grandmother named Seolmundae who was unimaginably gigantic and strong. This mystical grandmother shoveled huge mounds of earth and in only seven tosses of her shovel, created Mt. Hallasan. The dirt that fell through her tattered skirt formed each of the more than 360 unique secondary parasitic cones known as oreum. Grandmother Seolmundae gave birth to as many as 500 sons. One day, while all her sons were out hunting a tragedy occurred when Seolmundae, by accident, fell into a gigantic pot of soup she was making to feed her sons. After a while, the sons returned home and hurriedly ate the soup, not knowing their mother was part of it. When they learned the truth, they were so sad that they cried bitter tears and hardened into rocks through the grief they felt for their mother. Their blood and tears shed revive every spring and make Mt. Hallasan bloom in bright color as the royal azaleas blossom.
27
The breath of Tamna’s Origin, The Myth of Three Family Names Long ago, before Jeju Island was inhabited by men, three demi-gods rose from the land at the northern foot of Mt. Hallasan. They were Ko Eulla, Yang Eulla and Bu Eulla and the place where they rose is presently known as Samseonghyeol. One day, the three demi-gods found a box that had landed on a beach and opened it. Inside they found a jade box in the shape of a bird’s egg with a lion to keep watch over it. Inside the jade box there were a calf, a foal and the seeds of five types of grain. The lion said, “I am the lion of Byeoknang in the East Sea. Our King has three daughters but he could not find husbands for them, even though they are of marriageable age. When he saw you three legendary founders, he commanded me to bring his daughters to you.” After he finished his words, the lion climbed to the sky on a white horse. The three demi-gods prepared themselves through a celebratory ritual in Heaven, showered in the pond known as Honinji and married the three princesses. Together they established their homes and families and from that time forward, farmed the five grains and raised cattle. Through the abundant crops, they founded the Tamna State.
02. STORY OF JEJU
JEJU
Folk of Jeju
Dang The female-oriented Shamanistic rituals, known as gut, are the opposite of the male-oriented Confucianist poje, and usually performed at dang, which are the homes of Jeju’s many gods and goddesses. The rituals continued until the present day because of their power to strengthen the unity of villagers and maintain community life. The common form of dang is a sanctified old tree, a rock cave or a huge rock. Dang for long have been taking care of the villages and the people of Jeju.
Gut (Shamanistic rituals) Gut is the name given to the Shamanistic rituals through which Jeju residents have traditionally interacted with the island’s 18,000 gods and goddesses and asked them to intercede on their behalf. Through these rituals, the people deal with evil, corruption, sickness, death and other disorders in the world and also ask blessings on future events and harvests. Gut was traditionally performed at village dang or shrines but the more important gut now takes place in more public places, both to introduce them to more Jeju residents and to invite tourists and visitors to join the ceremony. One of the more important gut, the Tamnaguk Ipchungut, has been held around Feb. each year since the time of the Tamna Kingdom to mark the onset of spring (Ipchun is one of 24 seasonal divisions in the solar calendar). The rites held at this time ask the gods for a bountiful harvest and individuals also address their personal wishes for the year to come. There are many different types of gut for many different purposes and these ceremonies retain an important place in the everyday life of Jeju’s people, even in the bustle of modern life.
29
Shingugan (Moving Season) On Jeju Island, there is traditionally only one moving period during the year called Shingugan. Legend has it that the gods report to the King of Heaven about the state of the world once a year, and based on their yearly performance; are assigned to a new place. During this period, Jeju people move so that the evil gods cannot find them. This period continues for a week that generally begins five days after Daehan (late January) and lasts until three days before Ipchun (early February). The saying goes that if you move outside of this period, you will have misfortune.
Pojedan (Place for village festival) When males of the Jeju villages performed village festivals as per the Confucian rites, they called them poje and the places where the events are held are called pojedan. These sites are where Jeju-do people wish for peace for the village. The offerings given can vary depending on the number of gods considered to be present. In addition, since this is the most sacred place in the village, residents have to approach with the correct attitude and to leave any kind of arrogance behind. Recently, village festivals, with the support of the villagers, have been considered traditional culture heritage items and the sites are being renovated.
JEJU
02. STORY OF JEJU
Food, Lodging and Clothing Jeju Island has a unique culture of food, clothing, and housing due to the geographic characteristics of the island and its unusual natural environment. Even today, citizens of Jeju Island maintain this unique, traditional flavor reflecting the island’s nature in their houses, tools, and clothing.
Clothes
Galot
Gal-ot
These dark, rust- brown garments are dyed with persimmon juice. At first the clothes are a little stiff, but with continuous wear they become soft. They are good for people of all ages while doing physical activities as one specialty of the dyed cloth is that it does not stick to the body while sweating.
Diving Suit This unique suit was used by Jeju’s haenyeo (women divers) well before the arrival of Japanese rubber suits in the early 1970s. The diving suit includes a top, a pair of pants and a water cap. Through these garments, one can catch a glimpse of the diligence and efficiency of Jeju’s women divers.
Rain gear Diving Suit
A kind of raincoat trimmed and with a thinly stitched fitted belt which is made specifically to resist rainwater and is a must for a windy island like Jeju.

Food
Black Pork Black Pork
Many tourists, on the first time on Jeju, wonder where the best place is to try the island’s delicious black pork. Sometimes, if you go by travel book recommendation it feels that something is missing and if you go to a totally unknown restaurant, you cannot be assured of the taste. In this situation, if you want a clear reply, the answer would be to “just go anywhere.” Wherever you go on Jeju, you can find delicious black pork restaurants. The meat is even more delicious if you eat it with Mel-jeot, which is a salted anchovy that reduces the pork’s oiliness and makes it tastier.
Black Pork
Pheasant Cuisine
Pheasant dumpling soup
Since there are many pheasants on Jeju Island, there are many different dishes made using the bird. In the fall, pheasant is regarded as a real treat and can be eaten raw or dried as jerky. Kkwong-toryeom is a delicacy of thinly sliced pheasant breast meat that is eaten hot-pot style. Kkwong-memil guksu, (pheasant buckwheat noodles) delicately blends Jeju’s buckwheat and pheasant meat. The buckwheat noodles are light and more digestible than other foods made with wheat. Pheasant dumpling soup is not greasy and its taste is sure to please. Kkwong-memil guksu (Pheasant buckwheat noodles)
Horse Cuisine
Dishes made using horse were the finest served to the King in times of antiquity. Horse is used in a variety of dishes, including raw horse meat, horse sushi, tangsuyuk (sweet and sour meat), galbijjim (rib stew), gui (roast meat) and bulgogi (sliced and seasoned barbequed meat). Horse meat tastes lighter than beef and each part and organ, such as the liver, has its own unique flavor.

02. STORY OF JEJU
Meat Noodle
The most common delicacy on Jeju is Gogi-guksu (Meat Noodles). After stewing a broth, add noodles and boiled meat and then add chilies, chili powder, pepper and other seasonings according to your taste. One plate of gogi noodles is enough for each person as it contains thick noodles with boiled meat. It is a good hangover soup, but also goes well with alcohol. If you want a cup of soju while eating the spicy soup, Jeju’s Hallasan Soju it is the best complement.
Meat Noodle
Seongkae-guk (Sea Urchin Soup)
Seongkae-guk (sea urchin soup) is prepared by frying seaweed in sesame oil and then putting sea urchin and obunjagi together and boiling them. If you salt it, it looks little yellowish and coagulates like tofu and tastes fresh. Seongkae is also known as gusal in Jeju so the dish is known as gusal-guk in some places. Meat Noodle
Dom-hoe
Sea Urchin guk (Sea Urchin Soap)
Yellow sea bream, one of the common fish on Jeju Island,is cheap but prides excellent taste. Since it is rare in land-based areas, try to taste it. More premium fish than the yellow sea bream is the sea bream, which is called the king of raw fish. The best taste of sea bream can be enjoyed during December until March. The best season of red tilefish is roughly during the start of spring while the soft and savory cuttlefish is loved during summer from June to August. Also, the best season of yellowtail is after October when cold wind blows and the taste of large-scale blackfish is at its best between December and March. These fish are must-try delicacies in Jeju. Hoe
Mitra squid mul-hoe
Mul-hoe (Water Raw Fish)
A favorite delicacy of summer on Jeju is mul-hoe. It is called mul-hoe as it is prepared by pouring water and spices over fresh raw fish. There are many varieties such as jari-mul-hoe, sea cucumber mul-hoe, turban shell mul-hoe and mitra squid mul-hoe. All the ingredients are fresh so just pick the one that you like best. To prepare, cut vegetables such as parsley, pears, cucumbers, sesame leaves, green pepper and carrots into thin slices, season them with spiced seafood and pour water with ice over them all. The role of the ice is to make the soup cold and keep the seafood and vegetables fresh. After eating all the seafood, adding rice to the leftover Jeon-bok hoe soup makes another delicacy.
33 Galchi (hairtail) Cuisine
How best to eat Jeju’s chubby and tasty galchi? The first choice is to eat it fresh as hoe (raw fish). Some people think that galchi-hoe has a fishy smell,
but that is not true. It is tasty to chew and famous for its aroma. Another delight is boiled galchi in soy sauce and this is also liked by many. It is delicious if you melt raw galchi in your mouth slowly along with rice, or eat boiled galchi spiced with hot Jeju chili powder.
Godeungeo (Mackerel)
Godeungeo, along with galchi, is one of the most loved fish types
in the country. The full- fleshed fish makes your mouth water in
Galchi-gui (roasted hairtail)
anticipation. Godeungeo is inexpensive, full of nutrients and has Galchi-guk (hairtail soup)
an especially aromatic taste. After the breeding season finishes in summer, the fish gains more flesh and oil, thus autumn is the best time to eat it.
Obunjagi Ttukbaegi (Seafood Soup)
The best seafood delight on Jeju Island is Obunjagi Seafood Soup. Obunjagi is a mollusk and a close relative of the abalone family. It lives clinging to rocks about 20 meters under the water. Around 70 percent of the total obunjagi found in Korea is from
Godeungeo-gui (Broiled Mackerel)
Jeju. The meat is full of calcium, iron and vitamin B. It can be roasted or put in doenjang soup or porridge, but the most highly recommended option is Obunjagi Seafood Soup. If you make rice using obunjagi, the rice will turn greenish. Boiled Mackerel
If you put butter at the edges of an earthen pot and add rice, the butter mixes with the rice making it more aromatic. If you include obunjagi with other seafood in doenjang soup, the taste will double. After eating, you can take the shells home for interior decorations.
Obunjagi Ttukbaegi (Seafood Soup)
Jeon-bok (Abalone)
Jeon-bok (abalone) is so nutritious that it is also known as the wild ginseng of the sea. Many abalones are gathered from Jeju waters and it can be
found in many delicacies. It is usually added to jeon-bok-hoe, juk (porridge), ttukbaegi, samgyetang (chicken soup with ginseng), and various other stews. Due to its quality and taste, abalone was offered to kings in olden times. Chajeon-bok is readily available on Jeju, as is obunjagi, which is another kind of Jeon-bok.

JEJU
02. STORY OF JEJU
Kkotmyeolchijeot Kkotmyeolchi are often caught in the seas near Jeju and it is reddish brown unlike other myeolchijeot, it is characterized by its lightly fermented flesh, even after ripening long time. It tastes good and is tender and chewy due to its lack of bones.
Gingyijuk(rice porridge with crab)
Sora (Turban shell) Another common delicacy in seafood-rich Jeju is the sora (turban shell or conch). Therefore Jeju’s sora is also known as the Tangerine of the Sea. Small hwalsora, which are also known as Gu-jeng-ki in Jeju, are hard and firm and the texture is like chewing Jeonbok. Broiled sora roasted with its shell, sora-mul-hoe, jeot-kal and porridge made of sora are full of nutrients. The most common way to eat sora is to simply rinse it with sea water, cut it into thin slices and eat it with red chili-pepper paste and vinegar.
Jarijeot Jarijeotis a type of salt-preserved fish. The main ingredient, jaridom, is only caught in the seas near Jeju. Its taste is savory and it is good to eat once you remove its scales. Many people enjoy jarijeot because of its unique smell. It is seasoned with green peppers and garlic and served as a side-dish with rice. Some fish and a bowl of rice can be a generous meal.
Gingyi means crab in the Jeju dialect. Gingyijuk is a delicacy in May. The soup is made by pounding a crab in a stone mortar and adding water to make a thick crab juice and then straining it. It is then boiled slowly and crab juice is added and stirred in after stirfrying rice with sesame oil thoroughly. You can add salt according to your preference. It has abundant calcium which is good for bones and chitosan.
Mungejuk (rice porridge with octopus) Munge means octopus in the Jeju dialect and refers to the common octopus (octopus vulgaris). Jeju’s octopus is served raw or as part of a seasoned porridge. Mungejuk is healthy food for ordinary people. The octopus is cut to remove its organs and is pounded in a mortar and fried with rice and sesame oil and then boiled after adding water. When you pound the octopus in a mortar without cutting it with a knife, it becomes chewy and softer as the red color comes out of the skin.
Jogaejuk (rice porridge with clams) Jogaejuk does not require other side-dishes due to its tasty, light and pleasant aftertaste. Summer is the perfect time to enjoy this dish due to plump clams tasting the best during this season.
Meljeot (Myeolchijeot)
Bingddeok (Bing rice cake)
Myeolchijeot is made from raw anchovies salted in spring and fall. There are a variety of methods of serving it but its taste is guaranteed even without meat and eaten with rice wrapped in fresh lettuce or sesame leaves. In particular, it is good to refresh your sense of taste and supplement your energy after sweating in the middle of summer.
Bingddeok is named after the shape of the ddeok after it is rolled. Fine buckwheat powder is made into a dough, which is fried in a thin round shape. Then radishes, carrots, green onions, salt, sesame power, sesame oil and other ingredients are used to make a filling, which is placed on the fried pancake and rolled up.

JEJU
02. STORY OF JEJU
House Jeongnang and Olle Jeju’s traditional houses are surrounded by Olle, which is a type of stone outer wall or fence, unique to the island. ‘Gates known as Jeongnang’ are placed at the entrance of each Olle. A Jeongnang consists of three logs placed across the entrance of the Olles and held at each side by Jeongjumok, or stone pillars. Jeongnang is regarded to have been originally used to keep horses and cows, which the people of Jeju traditionally raised from coming into the house compound. Because of the strong winds on the island, logs were used instead of gates. Jeongnang is not affected by the wind so it would not be broken even during typhoons. The three logs were also a means of exchanging information between the owner of the house and potential guests. If all three logs were in place, it meant nobody was home. If two logs were set, the owner was going to be out for a long time, but when only one log was used, the owner was expected to be back shortly. The length of each house’s Olle varied and they could be short or long. There were also many different types of Olle and they could be either straight or curved, and possibly wider or narrower at the end. Traditional homes always had Olle since these piled stone walls help to weaken Jeju’s frequent and strong winds as they pass through these walls. The houses were not easily seen from the street due to the Olle and their role was to prevent strong winds and curious eyes from invading the house.
Choga (Thatched roof house) Jeju’s choga (thatched roof houses) are a unique type found only on the island. They are strong with piled stone walls made even stronger by covering them with soil. The roofs are covered with straw that is held down by thick ropes tied tightly in a checkerboard pattern. The early residents of Jeju tried to overcome the abundant rain and wind of their natural environment and in their wisdom, devised the unique thatched roof houses of Jeju. All houses in Jeju are shaped like the Chinese character for one (ㅡ), which is a horizontal line and lack the front yard and detached house common to houses in other regions of Korea. In the traditional thatched roof houses of Jeju, there is an angeori (main building) and a bakgeori (subordinate building).
The angeori is the place where food is stored and memorial rituals are performed. The parents of a family lived in the angeori, and after their eldest son was married, he and his family would live in the bakgeori. After a certain period, they would change places with each other, indicating that the duty of performing the memorial rituals had moved from the parents’ generation to the son’s. All affairs regarding relatives, collaborative labor, common property, and participation in meetings were managed by the people living in the angeori. The angeori has a much more significant function. Each angeori and bakgeori had a separate kitchen, jangdokdae (jar stand), and tongsi (toilet) so that each generation could live independent lives. These houses were single-family residential units; however they were double-family economic units. The traditional houses of Jeju illustrate complex aspects of Jeju society such as coping with the island’s climate, a theory of divination based on topography and shamanism, and the unique family structure of Jeju Island.
Dottongsi (Pig-Latrine) The Dottongsi is Jeju’s traditional outhouse. It had low walls to repel the wind and prevent outside eyes from peeking, but it had no roof. It did not stink and users need not worry about getting spattered excrement on the bottom of their feet or falling into it. It was a clean toilet where users could do their business safely while looking at the view. Dottongsi were not only toilets but pigsties as well. The bottom of the Dottongsi was spread with barley straw and pigs were raised there,eating human excrement and food scraps. The barley straw mixed with the pig excrement fermented naturally and the manure produced was important to Jeju’s agricultural industry. Dottongsi is a unique aspect of residential life found only in Jeju as it not only kept the natural environment clean by recycling seemingly useless waste but also produced the natural manure that was used in farming.
SAMDA-DO
37
Since Jeju is abundant in Wind, Stone and Women, it has often been called Samda-do, a nickname which has been since olden times. First and foremost since it is surrounded by water from all side,s plenty of wind is obvious. Every house has a piled up layer of stones called ‘Doldam’ which have holes in it that is why even fierce winds also pass by them easily. All these stones in Jeju were formed by Mt. Hallasan’s volcanic eruptions. The reason behind a higher number of women compared to men is as the men used to go into the sea to catch fish and they often get caught in typhoons etc. and hence were not able to get back home. Jejudo natives have to deal with harsh natural environment. It is because of them that this beautiful Island still exists.
Wind Jeju Island has a lot of wind due to its geographical location. The effect of the wind is evident in all areas of lives of the citizens of Jeju and in their use of stone as well. The examples are Jeju thatched houses, which are built behind walls of stones and fields surrounded by stone fences. Jeju also has sayings that teach the wisdom of life through parables of the wind. ‘Badang oolgo kachapke boimin naal oochinda.’ This saying in the Jeju dialect means the weather will get bad if the sea is whining and the mountain appears nearer. When sea is whipped by the wind it creates a crying sound and when there is fog the mountain appears closer. These conditions suggest heavy rainfall is to follow so farmers are advised to take special care of their crops. ‘Set-baram pulmin naal oochinda.’ When easterly winds blow, rain is to come. Jeju natives cover their crops with cloth when easterly winds start as it is an indication that rainfall will soon follow.
JEJU
Stone Whether on a clear day or in a fierce s t o r m , J e j u’s d o l h a r e u b a n g ( s t o n e grandfathers) act as guardians to protect the island against all odds. Each seems like a tough guardian but if you look at him more closely he is quite cute with his bulging eyes and rounded stomach. There is no one representative figure and the statues vary from village to village. The boy statues are placed on both sides of a gravesite to act as a helpers and at times companions to the spirit of the deceased. Since these sculptures are made of basalt, they contain the unique essence of Jeju. Bangsatap are stone towers built to cover some inauspicious or ill-omened place so as to ensure the peace of the village. Before raising the stone tower, the villagers bury a rice scoop or cauldron. A rice scoop represents abundant prosperity with rice filling every pot. The cauldron symbolizes their wishes that their village and families will remain safe from all kinds of adversity, just like a cauldron is impervious to fire.

Woman Though the number of women divers is reducing every year in Jeju, you can still find some making their distinctive whistling sound as they go about their under water activities. Leaving taewak(floats) on the surface of the water, Jeju’s women divers take a connecting rope and dive as deep as 20 meters under the sea to collect marine products. The haenyeo are well-known for their diving skills and their strong willpower.

History of Jeju
The thousand year history of Tamna
Every Korean student learns about the history of Jeju during their time at school because Jeju Island is a place where history is still alive. Let’s take a look at Jeju’s history from the Three Kingdom Period through the Goryeo and Choseon Dynasties and Japanese colonial period, and up to the tumultuous years of modern history.
Tamna is Jeju’s old name, meaning “island country.” The process of settlement of Tamna on Jeju Island is illustrated by Tamna’s settlement myth, which is known as Samseong shinhwa. To see archaeological evidence of the early settlement of Jeju, visit Samyang-dong Prehistoric Site, which has been designated Historic Site No.416. The site contains the earliest known and largest residential remains in Jeju, dating back to the third century B.C. during the proto-Three Kingdoms Period. This site shows society during the period of Tamna formation (200 B.C. ~ 200 A.D.) Tamna is known to have been an active trading partner with Baekje, Goguryeo and Silla during the Three Kingdoms Period. Tamna also had diplomatic relations with the Dang Dynasty in China and Japan after Baekje was destroyed by an allied force of Silla and Dang. Tamna was historically known as the independent Kingdom of the Sea. It became subjected to the Goryeo Dynasty, and its name was changed to Jeju. meaning “a big province across the sea.”
The final battle site of anti-Mongolian resistance, Hangpaduri After being continuously defeated by the allied forces in Ganghwado and Jindo, Sambyeolcho came to Jeju, which was his last battlefield, and built a double-walled fortress inside an oreum. The site, which is the present Hangpaduri, spread across 6 kilometers with a height of 5 m and width of 3.4 km, and an inner stone-castle with a courtyard, government offices and various defense facilities. However, Hangpaduri fortress fell on April 4, 1273, after Sambyeolcho finally died, having fought till his final breath and last soldier. The blood of Sambyeolcho dyed the soil of the oreum red and since then it has been called Bulgeun (Red) Oreum. Traces of this fortress can still be found, as can relics including stone hinges and tiles that are displayed in the Hangpaduri Museum and serve as important materials for historical studies. An Anti-Mongolian Monument at the museum entrance extols the nationalistic spirit of Sambyeolcho.

41 History of Exile, Chusa Exile Site Jeju Island is where approximately 200 people were sent into exile throughout the 500 years of the Choseon Dynasty. The island was suitable to isolate criminals because it was cut off from the mainland and it was difficult to travel there at that time. This site is where Chusa Kim Jeong-Hee completed “Sehando” while in exile. The Chusa Exile Site has remained a part of Jeju Island where we can remember the artist’s life in exile.
The outbreak of the Independence, CHUSA EXILE SITE
or Jeju Hangil (Anti-Japanese), Movement The representative independence movements in Jeju were the Jocheon Independence Movement, the Beopjeongsa Movement and the Women Divers Anti-Japanese Movement. Jeju was only a small island, but it took part strongly in the various Anti-Japanese Movements. Among them, the Women Divers Anti-Japanese Movement of 1930, which involved more than 10,000 women divers, was the largest ever national movement by women.

APRIL 3RD PEACE PARK
In 1948, Jeju suffered through the April 3rd Incident, which is regarded as the one of the worst tragedies in modern Korean history. Tens of thousands of lives were sacrificed and about 130 villages were destroyed. The April 3rd Incident was like a gale that swept across Jeju over a period of about seven years. Because of this, it is not unusual to find historical sites related to the April 3rd Incident everywhere on the island. Jeju has since become an island of tourism and world peace, but if you want to experience true peace, you should first know about the tragic time that Jeju endured. If you pass by without understanding that history, your tour will only be half complete. Jeju’s April 3rd Peace Park was established to look back on the April 3rd Incident and is utilized as an educational place for peace and human rights. The main facilities include sites at which to remember the victims, such as Memorial Tower, Memorial Altar, Memorial Plaza, April 3rd Historical Center, April 3rd Cultural Center and Sculptures of Symbols.

Also by pronunciation ‘Jeju Olle’ has another meaning which means ‘will you come to Jeju?’ (Jeju-e olle?). The ‘Olle’ of windy island Jeju is made by basalt rock which has so many small holes in it. Moreover, it shows the aesthetics of winding stone wall road of Jeju.

Yoeongsil hiking trail, with its gentle mountain terrain, is the shortest route up Mt. Hallasan but it is open only up to Witse Oreum because crowds of people can easily ruin the natural environment. Although entr y to Baeknokdam is not al lowed from t h i s t r ai l, it st i l l of fers a var iet y of at tractions i ncludi ng Yeongsilgiam, the Yeongsil pine forest, Obaeknahan, Seonjakjiwat, which means flat land with gravel, and Witse Oreum, which means above three hills. Hikers are recom mended to descend via the Eorimok trail.
This 4.9-km trail is relatively short and easy to climb and offers an open view of Man se Garden t hat i s par t ic ularly charming. In addition, the smooth ridge which stretches from Bulgun Oreum and Min Oreum and connects to Janggumok Oreum catches the eyes of visitors. Mt. Hallasan boasts beautiful, white snowcovered grasslands on Manse Garden in midwinter. However, visitors cannot see Baeknokdam from this trail as they are only allowed to climb as far as Witse Oreum.
Generally, Saraak Spring at the 5.2-km point is the most difficult part of this trail. Once you get to here, you will soon pass the Jindalrae Shelter at the 7.1-km point after climbing up a mountain path edged with tall trees that block the sky. You will be fascinated by the scenery and from this point the trees become shorter and shorter until they finally disappear. Due to the steep slope of this path as it heads to Baeknokdam, you must be careful for the last hour and a half. There are two possible paths to descend from Baeknokdam, either return by the Seongpanak trail or take the Gwaneumsa path. Both take about 4 hours, but the Seongpanak trail is easier.

This hiking trail is not recommended for novice climbers. It is known as one of Mt. Hallasan’s most difficult courses due to its steep gradient. Nevertheless, professional climbers visit the Gwangeumsa hiking trail exclusively because it offers the most magnificent scenery on Mt. Hallasan and gives them excellent climbing practice. It is very interesting to see that the Tamna Valley has retained the original appearance of Mt. Hallasan and Gaemideung (ridge) offers magnificent mountain terrain at the cliff face, and a streambed made of lava and sedimentary rocks. When you climb to Yongjingak through Gaemimok, there is a crown-shaped rock named, Wanggwangneung that stands in the east. From there you can see the north face of Mount straight ahead and the spectacle of stone cairns to the west. The area around this shelter offers natural scenery, You should reach the peak an hour and 30 minutes after this point. Due to its rugged trail, Gwaneumsa is more popular to descend by. Climbing the Seongpanak trail and descending by Gwaneumsa is the best course for winter hiking in South Korea.
Of all the hiking trails on Mt. Hallasan, this is the only one that begins in Seogwipo. All paths were closed and restricted for 15 years as part of a program to prevent serious damage to the natural environment and this trail was only reopened in 2009. It offers new views after extensive renovations were completed. Much of the charm of this trail is seeing the coastal waters of Seogwipo and Jeju-style cemeteries that were made by piling up basaltic stones as you climb the gentle ridge in the dense, rainforest-like woods. In addition, during the summer you can enjoy a refreshing holiday at Donnaeko Campsite, which is located in Donnaeko Valley.

Jeju Island’s average annual temperature is ideal for golf. In addition to the yearround mild climate, well equipped accommodation, golf-shop and all other kind of subsidiary facilities provide golfing convenience at its best. You needn’t worry that the island’s strong winds will interrupt your game of golf as most of the courses are surrounded by oreum (secondary volcanic cones) or by the dense forests of Mt. Hallasan, which create natural barriers to the wind and ensure a great game of golf. Jeju’s nature-friendly golf courses that preserve the natural environment at its best are well-known among foreign golfers.

Leisure Sports Tour
Run in wild fields on Jeju
Horse riding - Sit astride horses in the open fields There is an old Korean saying that says to send people to Seoul and horses to Jeju. As such, Jeju Island is well-endowed with ideal natural conditions for horses to breed. Though Jeju horses are gentle when properly trained, if you are riding for the first time, it is always better to ride with an expert and take just one round of the horse riding ground at a time. If you are yourself an expert, you can choose your own course as well as ride across the grasslands. With horse riding centers located across the entire island, it is the perfect opportunity to experience horse riding while you are on Jeju. Carting - Speedy driving Gamers who enjoy the popular on-line cart rider game can enjoy the offline version on Jeju as well, as can others who like to experience speed. This is possible by driving a cart, which one does simply by alternately the accelerator and brake pedals. The sport is accessible to anyone, regardless of age or gender and you do not need a driving license to drive on a registered course. Four-Wheeled ATVs - Unbeatable riding on a sandy beach All terrain vehicles, with four huge wheels on a small body, a loud engine and a comfortable appearance, may look like toys but there a few places where they cannot take you. Whether on a muddy sandy beach or a bumpy road, an ATV can keep going without stopping. One can easily learn how to ride the vehicle by attending just a five-minute training session. Hunting - A challenge for a hawk-eyed sniper If you are planning to travel to Jeju Island between November and February, take the hunting challenge while here. Hunting is permitted during this period of around 10 animals, including pheasants and ducks. Remember to consider all safety precautions while handling a gun.

At that moment, you will let out an exclamation of delight and say “‘Ah! This is Jeju Island, the place where land and sea become one” In this way, Jeju-si gives you a different feeling than other cities on the Korean mainland.

“Yongduam", a rock that resembles a dragon’s head
Yongyeon, a place where love becomes stronger
Yongduam was thus named as it resembles a dragon’s ● head. The best-known legend has it that an envoy that the Dragon King sent was looking for a medicinal plant on Mt. Hallasan when the mountain god shot an arrow at him, and he fell and died. If you walk down the stairs to the east, you can sample fresh seafood that the haenyeo (diving women) have just caught, such as octopus, sea cucumber and sea squirt. You won’t be tempted by other food in any luxurious restaurant after you have eaten fresh seafood while sitting on a rock by the ocean lulled by gentle waves. When the waves surge over Dragon Head Rock, it looks as if the dragon is about to ascend to heaven.
Yongyeon is situated near Yongduam. The name ● sounds like a pond but it is actually more like a valley. The deep water that flows through the valley has its source somewhere in the mountain ridge far away from the ocean. From Yongyeon Bridge, you can see the excellent scenery of the valley, complete with a pavilion. One of the most interesting things about Yeongyeon is the lovers’ locks on the bridge. Couples believe their love will harmonize with the superb scenery and become stronger. Yongyeon does not dry up even during times of drought when, according to legend, the dragon that lives in Yongyeon ascends to heaven to make it rain.

Where good old things look great One of the representative cultural assets of Jeju Island is ● Gwandeokjeong.

It feels familiar to residents as it is situated in the middle of downtown Jeju, just like Namdaemun (the South Gate) and Dongdaemun (the East Gate) in Seoul. Gwandeokjeong, National Treasure No. 322, was built by Shin Suk-Cheong, a governer and general in the 15th century, to be used as a training place for soldiers. Later, it was also used as a venue for practicing martial arts, inspections, discussions of construction between officials and laypeople, holding festivities and sometimes punishing criminals. The name “Gwandeok,” meaning “to reform oneself and cultivate virtues at all times,” was given to emulate the spirit of literary and physical strength. Some say that the name came from “Sai Gwandeok,” meaning “You can see the virtue of the person in his shooting posture.” Seven pictures including one of Sipjangsaeng (the 10 traditional symbols of longevity) painted on the pillars of Gwandeokjeong grace the site with their majestic presence.

As there is not much lighting on Jeju except for the downtown areas, it becomes dark at night on most of the island. However, Jeju Starlight World Park and Planetarium is an exception. It presents a fantastic night view, with both outdoor illuminations and natural stars in the night sky and looks as if colors have been sprayed onto the dark night sky. With beautiful music playing, it is a great place to propose to or simply have a good time with your loved one.

Grand feast of wide cedar forest Jeolmul Natural Recreation Forest Forest bathing can make you â—? feel calm, strengthen your cardiovascular functions and prevent asthma and tuberculosis, through its pleasant scents and green color. Opened in 1997, the Jeolmul Natural Recreation Forest is a great place for forest bathing. There are 40to 45-year old cedars in a 300-hectare area, and it feels cool even during the height of summer with its cool oceanic wind. The cedars were planted to block the wind and protect citrus trees at first, but became a natural recreation forest later. Within the forest are also mineral springs, ponds, a lawn square and sporting facilities for families and couples to use. The name Jeolmul was given because there used to be a temple (Jeol) and mineral water (mul) in the area and the mineral water that still springs is believed to be effective in treating neuralgia and stomach disorders.

Dreamy water to which Taoist fairies descended
Visit the Cheonjeyeon Waterfall if you are feeling ● blue and need cheering. This is the largest waterfall of the three major waterfalls on Jeju Island, the other two of which are Cheonjiyeon Waterfall and Jeongbang Waterfall. Cheonjeyeon means ‘the pond of God’ from a legend that Taoist fairies who worshiped the Great Jade Emperor descended here to bathe. The water here is known for its purity and springs from a spot between the precipice of the cliffs and the clay layers. From the ceiling of the cave of the first cascade falls water that is believed to cure diseases when splashed over one’s body, and is also used for drinking. The first cascade is about 22 meters high and forms a 22 m-deep-pond, Cheonjeyeon, where the water stays still. After heavy rain, the water flows to create the second and third cascades. The second cascade is about 30 m high, the greatest of the three cascades. Near the trail is a thick subtropical forest, offering the chance to see a range of tropical trees. Above the Cheonjeyeon Waterfall is the Seonimgyo arched bridge, also called the Seven Taoist Fairies Bridge. Right above it, one can enjoy a view of Mt. Hallasan. Where to find.

A Place of heartrending love between halmang and hareubang
Oedolgae is a rock standing out in the sea and was named for its loneliness. ● There are various legends about the 20-meter-high rock, for its shape changes according to the direction from which one sees it. It is also called Grandmother Rock (Halmangbawi) as one legend has it that an old woman waited for her husband to return from a fishing trip and, when he did not come back due to a storm, she became a rock. There is a rock right under Oedolgae that looks as if it is floating and it is said that her husband also turned to a rock when the grandmother became a stone pillar. In reality, the rock island was formed when a volcano erupted 1.5 million years ago. Visitors can see Mt. Hallasan, Munseom Island and Beomseom Island, which both have famous scuba diving spots, and haenyeo (women divers). In Oedolgae, a road is both a walking trail and a park. It is such a charming place that the poet Lee Saeng-Jin, who became an honorary citizen of Seogwipo for his collection of poems, “Longing for Seongsanpo,” wrote a number of poems about Oedolgae.

Jungmun Daepo Haean Columnar-Jointed Lava The largest pillar rock formation in Korea
Near Jungmun Beach, a popular spot for vacationers and locals, is an â—? impressive pillar rock formation named Jungmun Daepo Haean Columnar-Jointed Lava(Jusangjeollidae). The formation looks like a piece of art that has been sculpted delicately with a sharp tool. Jusangjeollidae usually refers to vertical pillar shaped rocks in a rectangular or hexagonal shape and is often composed of basaltic lava. Such a formation is the result of a sudden contraction when thick molten lava flows from an active volcanic crater and cools rapidly. This site is full a wonder of nature, where hexagonal rock pillars stand on top of each other like giant stairs. The waves that hit the pillars are also interesting to see as, when the tide is high, they can leap up to 20 meters high. Jungmun Daepo Haean Jusangjeollidae, which is 30~40m high and 1km wide, is the largest such formation in Korea and is designated as Natural Monument No. 443. Thanks to a viewing platform with wooden steps, it is possible to see Jusangjeollidae closely.

Saeyeongyo, the longest pedestrian bridge on Jeju, was recently built at â—? Seogwipo Port. It connects the main island and the islet of Saeseom and resembles an anchored taewoo, the traditional fishing boat of Jeju, coming home with a boatful of fish and its wide net stretched. The name Saeyeongyo means creation of new connections, as it connects uninhabited Saeseom with Jeju. Visitors can watch the beautiful LED lighting that changes constantly on the guardrail of the bridge. The small islet of Saeseom in the ocean right in front of Seogwipo Port was named because it has many birds that cover thatched roofs. The island is made of limestone on coral and the rocks have many holes in which the birds nest. Crossing Saeyeongyo to Saeseom, one can walk around the island on a trail and feel the cool oceanic wind while enjoying the views of pine tree forest and the island.

Where dreams come true
“Dae Han Min Guk! (Go Korea!), clap, clap, clap, clap!” It is impossible to forget the passion ● of the 2002 FIFA World Cup co-hosted by Korea and Japan, when all Koreans became “Red Devils” and cheered passionately and their team realized the dream of making it to the semi-finals for the first time. You may feel like you can still hear the cheering in the Jeju World Cup Stadium, which was one of the venues for the 2002 World Cup. At the entrance to the stadium, dolhareubang (stone grandfathers) greet visitors. The shape of the stadium symbolizes an oreum (the secondary volcanic cones found throughout Jeju) while the gentle lines of its entrance represent an olle, the path leading to a traditional Jeju house. The roof evokes the image of a taewoo, a traditional log fishing boat, and net, while the supporting columns and spans symbolize five oceans and six continents. The design embodies a ship advancing to the oceans and continents in a fair wind, expressing the adventurous spirit of the Jeju people. The playing field was built below ground level to prevent any problems from the wind, and a deck is built outside the stadium to which people can escape in an emergency. With its backdrops of the blue ocean and Mt. Hallasan, it was praised by media around the world as one of the most beautiful World Cup Stadiums, and is now the home ground for Jeju United FC.

The West
There is a saying that if you wish to travel through every nook and corner of Jeju Island, then do a circuit of the island starting from the western region, transiting through Seogwipo and then to the eastern region. This is because the charms of Jeju begin in the western region. In addition, wherever you go in the west, the views of the sunset are awesome and hence the scenic beauty is very popular. A western region tour starts by driving the Aewol-Hagwi Coastal Road drive, known as the most famous of all coastal roads. This road will lead you to Gwakchi, Hyeopjae and Geumneumg Beaches, which are among the best in Jeju. The country villages alongside the coastal road make for perfect scenery and photo opportunities.

According to a legend, an order to block 13 Hyeols (places of good spirit in geomancy) on Jeju Island was given to a man named Hojongdan during the Song Dynasty in China. He went to Jijangsaemi in Seoheung-ri, Seogwipo, but failed to complete his mission. On his return voyage, a nimble hawk suddenly turned into a storm and sank the ship that Hojongdan was aboard. The name Chagwido, meaning “Cannot go back” was given from the belief that the mountain god of Mt.Halla was angry and stopped Hojongdan from returning home. Jukdo, the main islet of Chagwido, is the largest uninhabited island of Jeju. Nevertheless, many people visit because there of its fame as a good fishing place. You can enjoy a beautiful sunset from the port or ride the submarine Venus for undersea travel in Chagwido.

Mt. Sanbang, which looks so unique that it stands out from a distance, has â—? a number of interesting legends attached to it. The most interesting legend is that of Seolmundae Halmang, who created Jeju Island, and her sons, the 500 Generals. One day, the oldest brother went hunting and shot an arrow into the open air out of frustration when he kept failing. Unfortunately, the arrow hit the Great Jade Emperor in his side, and the angry emperor pulled out a rock from the top of Mt. Hallasan and threw it. The place where the rock was pulled from became the crater lake of Baekrokdam and the thrown rock became Mt. Sanbang. The circumference of the crater in Baekrokdam is actually the same as that of Mount Sabang and they are made of the same rock type. Mid-way to the top of the bell-shaped Mt. Sanbang is Sanbanggul (Sanbang Cave). In Sanbanggul sits a statue of Buddha, and the water that drops from the roof of the cave is believed to have medicinal properties. If you want to climb to the top of Mt. Sanbang, you should take the path that leads to Yonghaedong in Deoksu-ri, at the back of the path leading to Sanbanggul.

A diving spot of the ancient dragon
Yongmeori (meaning dragon’s head in Korean) was named after the � landform of this area as it resembled a dragon that took a pose to jump into the sea while raising its head. The ocean coast is made of a sandstone bed that has piled up for millions of years. The magnificent view of the mystery at the coast makes visitors let out exclamations. There was a story that Emperor Qin Shi Huang ordered a Feng Shui specialist Hu, Zong Dan to disconnect the Hyeol (a concentrated point of energy on the ground) of Yongmeori. Hu, Zong Dan came to Jeju Island, looked at Dragon Head Shore and noticed that the Hyeol of Mount Sanbang extended to the ocean where a dragon head faced the Pacific Ocean, as if it was about to go in that direction. When he cut parts of the dragon's tail and back with his sword, dark red blood spurted and there were moans and cries for the discontinued legacy that the land would give birth to a king. The coast surrounded by the sea is formed with sandstone rock face that was accumulated for millions of years and as the area was formed due to underwater volcanic explosions, there are a number of great sights such as Haesik Donggul (a cave formed from marine erosion) and Dolge (lithoid crab) holes.

The East
Jeju Island is commonly divided into Jeju-si, Seogwipo-si, and the eastern and western regions. The eastern region of Jeju has many famous places such as Geomun Oreum, Manjanggul lava caves and the Saryeoni forest trail, which are not to be missed. Among its beaches, the wide, sandy Sinyang Beach adds to the elegance of Jeju travel. The eastern region has many places that can impress any tourist. One way of best enjoying the eastern area is by discovering one’s own spots and not visiting well-known tourist places only. One of the greatest pleasures of Jeju travel is to explore its charming hidden locations.

Finding the stone, the root of Jeju Culture
Stones, the root of Jeju’s culture The most usual stones on Jeju are black basalt ● with many holes. There are so many basaltic rocks on Jeju that children raised on the island tend to think of all rocks as black. Jeju Stone Culture Park is the best-known spot to have a collection of these rocks, and others found on the island. The historic and cultural park preserves the identity, locality and artistry of Jeju Island through the display of more than 14,000 exhibits. The park is created with stones, soil, trees, iron and water and designed to show the legend of Grandmother Seolmundae and the stones of the Five Hundred Generals. The park contains a stone gallery that exhibits natural rock formations found on Jeju and a Jeju Formation Exhibit Hall with representations of oreum, caves, terrain features, underground water and volcanic emissions. Other things to see include an image room, a new exhibit and performance space, the Sky Pond that is also used as a water stage and the Byuckchongyeryu (Path to Legend), where water streams down four levels and then underground like time passing through the four seasons. New features will continue to be added at Jeju Stone Culture Park until the year 2020, by when you will be able to experience much of the lives of local people there.

A rolling emerald beach
Hamdeok Beach is a pleasant and popular beach on Jeju Island. Young people ● visit there often as they can easily access the beach by public transportation. Because Hamdeok’s water temperature rises quickly when the temperatures get warmer, beachgoers visit from early summer. The beautiful white sand beach, neatly arranged lodging and the hospitality of local residents are what attracts visitors. Hamdeok Beach used to be ocean, but became a beach as shells and broken shell accumulated, which gives a beautiful color to the water. The dazzling white sand, emerald water, a flyover bridge over black basalt and a red lighthouse create a magnificent scene. The white sand protrudes into the ocean partway down the beach, resembling a heart shape with its protruding center and aptly matching the ambience of the beach. Visitors greatly enjoy kayaking in Hamdeok’s calm waters or fishing from the rocks that stand at both ends of the beach. In addition, there are many places nearby to have fun or dine, which may remind some of Daehakro, a famous youth entertainment place in Seoul.

The best of Jeju’s Oreum, with its thick black forest
Climbing Mt. Hallasan is truly the crown of any trip to Jeju but it might ● require too much exertion for those who plan a relaxing Jeju trip to climb all the way to Baekrokdam, the crater lake at Halla’s peak. For them, climbing an oreum is the perfect alternative. There are so many oreum on Jeju that you cannot hike all of them even if you climb one a day for a year. Most have a low altitude so are easily climbed and walkers can enjoy the scenery on their way. Among them, Geomun Oreum is said to be the best. Geomun Oreum, named so as it looks black (geomun) with its thick forest, is divided into two gumburi (craters in the Jeju dialect) with a ridge joining them. The Geomun Oreum lava tube system was registered as a World Natural Heritage Site in 2007 and volunteers and the provincial government preserve its natural beauty. Because of this, all hikers on the oreum must be accompanied by a guide and reservations are required as only 400 walkers can visit each day. Along with its magnificent natural scenery, athe oreum is home to many wild flowers, such as wild hydrangea, wild berry and thistle. The guides are trained to answer questions and tell the hidden stories of Geomun Oreum.

Take a trip to a mysterious underground world
As words such as olle and oreum become more well-known, a trip to Jeju gets ● to be just more fun. The sites that are registered as World Cultural Heritage items and the island’s natural topography boast their own natural charm. One example is Manjanggul -- the largest known lava cave in the world. Measuring 5 meters in width, 5 to 10 meters in height and more than 13,000 meters in total length, the cave was created about 200,000 to 300,000 years ago when Jeju Island’s volcano, now Mt. Hallasan, erupted. Lava flowed from the crater of Mt. Hallasan to the ocean, creating lava tubes and caves along the way, including the large Manjanggul cave that exists at present. It is considered so valuable that it was appointed as Natural Monument No. 98, along with Gimnyeongsagul. The cave’s interior resembles a grand underground palace. In particular, a delicate stone turtle sculpture that looks like Jeju Island is popular with tourists. Stalactites suspended from the ceiling and lava wings on the walls of the cave add to the mysterious ambience of the underworld. Entrance is limited to only the first kilometer of the cave. As you explore, try not to disturb the Manjanggul’s permanent residents, which include bats, spiders and crayfish worms.

The water is only 1 meter deep, but the half-moon shaped beach is the largest in Jeju and its sand is particularly fine and soft. The sand is made of shell powder, renowned as being good for neuralgia. The beach is surrounded by a thick pine forest with some patches of grass, which makes it a good camp site for young travelers.

Heart-moving sunrise at dawn
Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak) is one of the special places that people ● visit to see the sun rise as each old year turns to the new. Seongsan Ilchulbong, listed as first of the ‘Ten Best Sceneries of Youngjoo,’ is a tuff cone crater that was formed when a volcano erupted under the ocean. It was designated as Natural Monument No. 420 in 2000. The cone has a large basin atop, reminding viewers of a meadow. One thing to keep in mind is that it is not easy to climb as it rises to 182 meters above sea level, with a steep slope. Yet the wind that embraces your entire body on the peak will more than make up for the sweat you shed to get there. On the top of Seongsan Ilchulbong stand 99 chiseled rocks in a crown-like formation, and between them rests a 30,000 pyeong (approximately 99,000-square meter) meadow. As the crater also resembles a castle with turrets, it was named Seongsan (Castle Hill). The meadow which catches the full force of the wind is one of the things that makes Ilchulbong so charming.

A mysterious but well-known site
Seopjikoji has gained in popularity since the television drama ”All In” aired. ● When the spot appeared in another TV drama, ”Boys Over Flowers” in 2009, it became a must-visit site on Jeju. Seopjikoji is one of the most spectacular places on Jeju with rocks of fantastic shapes along the seacoast set off by the dark blue ocean and topped with a wide meadow. Yellow rape flowers blossom in the spring and the blue ocean and cool wind are refreshing in the summer. The legend about Seopjikoji is that the youngest son of the Dragon God became enamored of a Taoist fairy he saw when she was bathing, and asked his father to allow him to marry her. The Dragon God promised that he would allow the marriage if his son waited devotedly for 100 days. However, on the 100th day, the wind became strong and the waves rough, so the Taoist fairy could not come down. The Dragon God told his son that his devotion was not strong enough, so he could not marry. The son, who could not bear his sadness, died right there and became Seopjikoji rock. In the recently opened Phoenix Park, you can visit the café where ”Boys Over Flowers” was filmed and enjoy various sports including golf, and skin or scuba diving, and satisfy your cultural sensibility in the resort’s galleries.

A place for wind surfing and shell gathering
One thing common to the many ways of traveling Jeju Island is the ability to â—? enjoy the great scenery of beaches along the coastal roads. Your mind, spirit and soul will float freely as you drive along the coastal roads accompanied by the scent of the salty ocean. The wide sandy expanse of Shinyang Beach, with its beautiful natural scenery, will in particular stimulate your five senses. Seopjikoji, a beach on the other side of the cape, is good for board sailing since the headland blocks waves from the outer sea. Board sailors practice here and an international wind surfing competition is held here as well. An interesting sight at Shinyang is the number of townspeople and visitors who gather on the beach when the tide is low. The water temperature, slightly higher than the nearby ocean, makes it a good environment for shellfish to grow, especially in the summer. This is why local residents and visitors come to gather shellfish with the ebbing tide in summer.

Recommended coast-side coffee shops include Cafe Rumain, from where you can see the majestic scenery of Udo and Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak); Cafe Mint, which faces the beauty of Seopjikoji; Cafe Mulgogi, from where you can gaze on the open sea of Daepyeong; the coffee shop at the Shilla Hotel in the Jungmun Tourist Complex; the café at Hotel Ramada Plaza Jeju, which is adjacent to the sea; and Cafe Village alongside the Yongduam (Dragon Head Rock) Coastal Road. Any of these are excellent venues to enjoy the beauty of Jeju’s seaside on a rainy day. Museums and art galleries are also good options when the weather turns against you. The Teddy Bear Museum is famous with couples and families, and especially loved by children. The Trick Art Museum turns two-dimensional art pieces into threedimensional views and puts the visitor “inside” of famous artworks. Unlike many other museums, here you can touch the works and take photos of them. If you are interested in great photography then the Kim Young-Gap Gallery, Dumoak, and photographer Seo JaeCheol’s Photo Gallery Images Of Love showcase picturesque scenes of Jeju. The Africa Museum, built in a life-sized replica of the Mosque of Djenne, exhibits pictures of Africa by renowned photographer Kim Jung-Man, alongside live shows by African performers. Car enthusiasts should not miss the Jeju World Automobile Museum, where classic cars that have remained popular through generations are on display. From this museum, you can also enjoy a panoramic view of Mount Sanbang with Marado Islet in the background. For outdoor enjoyment, don’t miss the Spirited Garden. The elegance of the many bonsai plants is worth seeing, even in the rain. It’s also highly interesting to visit the O’ Sulloc Tea Museum to view the green tea fields and enjoy the company’s famous green tea ice cream. If you are a movie fan, visit the Jeju Shinyoung Cinema Museum, which was founded by famous Korean actor Shin Young-Gyun. Here you can watch and experience various aspects of the history of movies, learn production principles and view some of the best sequences ever caught on film. ●

A rich and colorful Seogwipo gallery tour is highly recommended to any who make the mistake that cultural life does not exist on Jeju-do. First, take a look at the Lee Jung-Seop Galler y. Though there are not many of Lee’s works available, you can read letters exchanged between him and his wife, Namdeok. You can also view paintings by renowned Korean painters including Park Su-Geun and Lee Eung-Ro. Lee’s old Seogwipo home is located beside the gallery and the Gallery Café Mirunamu is located just below the house. It is refreshing to see Lee’s work while sitting in his room, which contains his portrait and silver foil work, sipping a cup of tea. After leaving Mirunamu and walking towards Seogwipo Central Rotary, you will find Gallery Haru. It’s a small place but always remains open with design exhibitions. While taking another break, have a cup of coffee and enjoy the catalogues of earlier exhibitions as well. If you then walk down from the Central Rotary in the direction of the Geolmae Ecological Village, you will reach the Geolmae Arts Village. While playing hide-and-seek with paintings lined along every space of the fence, you will quickly reach the Gidang Art Center. For a small admission fee of 400 won, you can enter and enjoy more beautiful pictures. There are many paintings by popular Jeju artist Byeon Si-Ji permanently on display and you can listen to the curator’s explanation of the works for free. Byeon holds the honor of being the first living artist from the East to have his works preserved in the world's largest museum; the Smithsonian. Looking at his paintings that tell the stor y of the people, horses and winds of Jeju, you will be filled with words of admiration for them. There are some paintings in which he portrayed the real life of Jeju, but most are pictures from his imagination. If you are wondering why so many people paint, write poems or sing songs about Jeju, you can get the answer easily by walking down the streets of Seogwipo.

Night-Time Enjoyment in Jeju
â&#x2014;? Although the night views on Jeju Island may not be as architecturally magnificent as those in Seoul or Hong Kong, nevertheless only islands show the true beauty of natural sunsets. First, decide where to go to view the sunset. Mount Sarabong, Chagwido Islet and Hyeongjeseom (Brother Islet) are three of most famous spots for sunset views on Jeju. From Sarabong, the sunset is often thought the finest as the glow of the setting sun seems to be dyeing the seawater red. The sunset views of Chagwido, which is in the western region, are superb from Dangsanbong, which is located opposite the island. If you are in Seogwipo, then Hyeongjaeseom is the best place to witness a splendid sunset. If you missed the moment the sun set, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to worry. There is a Jeju Night-viewing Cruise available that departs every evening at 7:30 p.m. from Doduhang Port and offers awesome views. The view of the island from at sea is incredibly mystical. Departing from Doduhang Port, the cruise passes by Dodubong, Yongduam (Dragon Head Rock) Coastal Road, Yongduam, Yongyeon Bridge, Tapdong village and ends back in Doduhang. Though the voyage takes one hour, once you get mesmerized by the beautiful night view the time will fly like moments in a dream. Walking is also a good option to spend a memorable night in Jeju. The best places for night walks are either Yongyeon or the Cheonjiyeon Waterfall. At Yongyeon, an illuminated suspension bridge and lighting on the nearby sidewalks provide watchers with a magical air. However, there is no match to the areas surrounding Cheonjiyeon Waterfall as a night tourist attraction. Planned to harmonize with the natural landscape and coastal views, recently renovated walking trails have added to the comfort of visitors. While walking the trails that connect tourist spots in seaside spots such as Jungmun Beach, Seongcheonbong, Cheonjeyeon Waterfall and various oreum, you will see a picture that is totally different from during the day. For an added bonus at night, obser ve the star-studded sk y from Byulbitnoori Gongwon (Jeju Starlight World Park and Planetarium). With the help of a 600 mm Cassegrain telescope, you can see the planets of the Solar System, and Saturn and Jupiter can especially be seen distinctively. Nebulae and various clusters of stars can also be also observed. You can witness a different view altogether by focusing on the glimmer which is artificially created by manmade lights.

Jeju, Paradise for Horses
05. A TREASURE MAP WITH A THEME Ⅱ
Horses can be seen all around Jeju Island. Views of the native horses of Jeju are called Gosumokma and are one of ‘10 Best Scenes in Youngju’ on the island. The term Gosumokma refers to the sight of horses grazing in the vast green pastures skirting Mount Halla. Horses were the most preferred gifts to be presented to the King from Jeju because the island was popularly called “the pasturage of horses” since olden times. Usually
●
cows (oxen) plow fields in other regions but on Jeju, this work has long being done by horses only. Scenes of horses set loose and grazing in the fields and roaming freely are rare in other parts of Korea. It is said that there used to be a time when more than 70,000 horses frisked on Mount Halla. Even now the traditional Jeju Jorangmal pony can be seen on the mountain. Jeju Jorangmal have been designated as a Natural Monument and are protected. Horse riding on a Jeju trip is something that should not be missed. The horses used for riding are known as Jejusanma and are of mixed breeds. Almost all horses are Jejusanma except those Jorangmal from reserved Jejuma grazing lands. Since horses are usually docile, you can easily take pictures standing close to them. But one thing should be kept in mind; when going near a horse approach directly from the front, but take a step from the side of the horse and get closer in a diagonal direction. To prevent any accident, one should not shout or go behind the horse either. If you are brave, you can move slowly towards the horse and pet your hand gently over its neck. However, restraining from petting the face is advised. After seeing the traditional Jorangmal at the Jejuma grazing lands, experiencing actual horse riding will make you feel closer to horses.

The Most Popular Souvenir:
Chocolates made of
Glittering Silver Cutlass-Fish
a Dolhareubang
Local Jeju Produce
of Jeju
Chocolate is also one of the emerging popular souvenirs of Jeju. Chocolate made of local ingredients, including tangerines, green tea and cactus are very well-known. The strong taste of Jeju tangerines is present in the chocolates and the sweet-and-sour taste of the cactus chocolates stimulates the taste buds. Chocolates flavored from Jeju’s green tea are not as rich as usual and have a light, clean taste.
There are many places to buy silver cutlass-fish in Jeju-do but it is most economical to buy them from the local fish markets. Moreover, the freshest delivery is also available. The fish will be trimmed and packed very cleanly so you can directly open it and cook it in the dish of your choice. Whether grilled, fried or stewed, as you like, each piece provides the taste of full, thick flesh. This gift is the most recommended for elderly people.
(Stone Grandfather) Key Chain
Key chains are the most common and easily transported souvenirs at any tourist spot. On Jeju Island, there are many different kinds of key chains available, including some in the shapes of Dolhareubang, horses, the island itself and the haenyeo (women divers). To find unique souvenirs, it is advisable to explore the key chains sold at each tourist place, rather than visiting general souvenir shops. Museums, cafés and art galleries are all filled with a variety of glass- and wood-crafted key chains of unique design.
