Description

Jusangjeolli Cliffs (columnar jointing) is a spectacular volcanic rock formation at the southern coast of Jeju Island, near the International Convention Center Jeju. The hexagon-shaped columnar joints gather like a giant folding screen, showing the unique beauty of Jeju. These columnar joints are made during the shrinking process of volcanic activities, as basaltic lava flow cools quickly in the water. Each columnar joint is 30-40 meters tall and they extend for about 1 kilometer.

Description

Jeju Folk Village  was created to preserve the cultural heritage of Jeju in their natural and original states. It was formed through historical research, and is made up of cultural assets of Jeju mainly from 19th century, such as the mountain villages, fishing villages, shamanism villages, Jeju Yeongmun (former Jeju Government Office), and Yubaeso (Forced Exile House).(www.jejufolk.com) Seopjikoji is located at the end of the eastern shore of Jeju-do Island. "Seopji" is the old name for the area, and "Koji" is Jeju dialect meaning a sudden bump on land. On Koji hill which is wide and flat, there stands a stone Bongsudae called “Hyeopjayeondae” with a 4m height and 9m length and width that has retained its original form. Seopjikoji was the filming site of several Korean TV dramas like “All-in.” Seongsan Ilchulbong (sunrise peak) rose from under the sea in a volcanic eruption over 100,000 years ago. Located on the eastern end of Jeju Island, there is a huge crater at the top. The crater is about 600m in diameter and 90m high. With the 99 sharp rocks surrounding the crater, it looks like a gigantic crown. You may also enjoy the performance by “Haenyeos,” referring to female divers who dive into the ocean water to gather various shellfish, seaweeds, etc, without using any underwater diving equipment.
