Description

Take in the spectacular view from atop crater-shaped Seaongsan Sunrise Rock and then visit a traditional village that reveals the rich culture of Jeju Island. The rock is named in part because it lies on the island’s easternmost shore and attracts locals that gather to watch the sunrise. Formed millennia ago in a series of underwater volcanic eruptions, the crater looks like a crown because 99 jagged rocks surround its huge circular top. It is so stunning that UNESCO named it a World Heritage site. You may ascend to the jungle-covered bowl at the top or remain below. Both perspectives offer fabulous views. You will next visit Seongeup Folk Village. Created as an expression of traditional Korean life, the re-created village contains several rock-walled thatched-roofed houses. Other highlights include Confucian shrines, fortress ruins and ancient government buildings. Many of the traditions and even the dialect spoken here have been handed down over the generations.
