Manjanggul (Lava tube)


The total length of Manjanggul Lava Tube is about 7.4km. It is a lava tube that is partially multilayered. The main tunnel’s width is 18m and its height is 23m. It is one of the largest lava tubes in the world. There are many lava tubes in the world, but Manjanggul Lava Tube has a significant meaning in that it was formed thousands of years ago, and it is very well preserved. Therefore, it is very valuable to researchers and scientists. Due to the sinking of the ceiling, there are 3 entrances. The one that tourists can use is the second entrance and they are only allowed to go as far as 1km into it. There are various cave formations in Lava Tunnel in Manjanggul Lava Tube, such as stalactites, stalagmites, flowstones, lava tubes, lava shelves, and lava rafts. In particular, the lava column that is located at the end of the tourist area is about 7.6m high and is known as the highest lava column in the world.

Seongsan Ilchulbong Sunrise Peak


Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak, which is 180m above sea level, erupted underwater in the ocean about 5,000 years ago. This makes it a very rare case among the many craters in Jeju Island. Though people used to farm in the crater, it is now a natural habitat for 200 types of vegetation such as silvergrass and giant angelica, among others, as well as a natural habitat for a variety of wild animals. Seongsan Ilchulbong has long been considered one of the top scenic destinations in Korea. It attracts millions of visitors a year, many of whom climb to the top for the breathtaking panoramic view of the ocean, Udo Island, Hallasan Mountain, and the volcanic landscape of the east. It was designated a Natural Monument on July 19, 2000 and subsequently recognized for its outstanding geological value by UNESCO on July 2, 2007, when it was added to the World Natural Heritage List. The peak was also named a Global Geopark Network site in October, 2010.

Seopjikoji Cape


Seopjikoji, which is located on the east coast of Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, is a beautiful coastline filled with canola flowers during the spring, Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak rising up in the background, and  the stunning Sinyang Beach nearby. Here you can see the traditional beauties of Jeju, such as a vast land filled with canola flowers growing on the hill, Jeju ponies grazing peacefully, beautiful rocky cliffs, and the legendary Seonbawi Rock standing in the middle of the ocean. What makes Seopjikoji different from other coasts in Jejudo Island is that it is made of red volcanic ash called “scoria”, and possesses strange rock formations that only show themselves when the tide is low are unique.
