Song-up
Village has been designated as a Folklore Preservation Zone. There are
about 300 traditional houses and you can meet the friendly island people
who still live behind stone courtyard walls in thatched-roof and rock
homes.
Sanbanggulsa
Temple is a natural grotto containing a seated image of Buddha. It is
located halfway up the steep slopes of Mt Sanbangsan on the southwestern
coast. Reputed to be one of the twelve most famous sights on the island,
the view from the grotto over the coastal fields and offshore waters is
spectacular. Cold, clear mineral water trickles out of a cleft in the
grotto. One sip of this refreshing water is said to ensure a long life.
Rocks on the Yongmori coast below Sanbanggulsa also provide a fascinating
view.
Covering
a major part of Chejudo is Hallasan, the highest mountain on the island.
The top of the inactive volcano can be seen from anywhere on the island.
It is 6,398 ft above sea level and on its summit sits a pond, which used
to be a crater when the volcano was active. The whole mountain is protected
as a treasure house of unusual flora and fauna. As the seasons change,
Mt. Hallasan provides its visitors with different kinds of beauty.
