This is a very famous place to visit for all including local and tourist. If you planning to come and visit here please come earlier and plan your time, to avoid crowded with others untill no space for you to take a good and beautiful photo. If excluding the excessive crow, this will be a nice place for relaxing and clean you busy mind because here have some beautiful view... It should control the crow to avoid messing the place.
Best sunrise I ever had in my life, such a scenery made of green land surrender by sea water, it takes 40 minutes to reach the peak and it is free before 7 am.
Great quick hike up on top! (490 steps, I counted haha) The trail is very well maintained! Beautiful crater covered in so much vegetation, it looks absolutely stunning. The view is great! You have to check it out!
Best part though was watching the free diver presentation right next to this amazing mountain. (Go left instead of right by the entrance) The show is at 2 pm every day. Amazing what those female divers endured during some tough times and are still kicking butt! They are an inspiration! They caught an octopus with their bare hands during the presentation I watched. So impressive!! Check out my photos! ❤️

The most popular place in Jeju. Literally translates to Sunrise Peak. The view from the top is mind blowing. Its just a 20 minute hike to the top. And well laid out paths to avoid people clashing into each other. What I liked about it is there is an uphill entry path and a separate downhill exit path. Drones aren't allowed, sadly.
Beautiful crater-style peak with easy access and a good climb to the top. The view is excellent. While it is a beautiful climb, the beauty of the peak is probably best viewed with a drone. Drones are not allowed, which I am totally fine with 😊
Seongsan Ilchulbong - a bowl shaped, tuff cone crater formed some 5000 years ago, as a result of underwater volcanic eruption.
Also known as the Sunrise Peak, apparently the sunrise view from the top of the peak is amazing. A pity I'll never witness that in person, sunrise isn't quite my thing. Nonetheless, I was dressed all ready for a hike today, but turned out, the Summit Trail is closed every 1st Monday of the month.
The free trail down towards the beach is still open and we took a walk. There's also a live demo by the Haeyeon Women here at 2pm which we unfortunately missed out too. Here, the fresh catch are available for sale in sashimi style or they can also cook it upon request.
There are boat rides available to bring round the other side of the island, can only view from the boat, can't get off.

Super pretty place! Go up early and hike while catching the sunrise 😍! The wind is super huge tho, be prepared & wear more layers & bring a cap!
