Seongsan Ilchulbong, also known as ‘Sunrise Peak’ is a UNESCO World Heritage site 

and one of the most famous geographical features on Jeju Island’s eastern edge

 

Seongeup village

 

 Old-fashioned village featuring simple homes built of thatch & lava rock, with iconic stone statues. The entire village, which preserves the living site of the people of old Jeju, has been designated as an Important Folklore Cultural Heritage. Though it can be considered a folk village of sorts, it differs from regular folk villages in that people still live in it to this day.

Cheonjiyeon Waterfall is a waterfall on Jeju Island, South Korea. Literally, the name Cheonjiyeon means sky connected with land. It is one of the main tourist attractions on Jeju-do. It is 22 m high and 12 m wide

 

Jusangjeolli Cliff

Jusangjeolli Cliffs refer to the set of blackish, rock pillars of rectangular or hexagonal shapes on the east coast of Jungmun Tourist Resort. As if carved by stonemasons, the pillars are evidence of nature’s awesome power.

If you follow the farm road 600 m to the southwest from Depo-dong, at the end of the pine tree forest is a cliff. At the base of this cliff is the Jisatgae Coast along with the imposing stone pillars

Most commonly expressed as vertical columnar jointing, the formations are created via sudden cooling of lava that shrinks in mass. The sight of waves crashing against the columns is both serene and beautiful. On days with rough weather, waves can rise as high as 20 meters.
