Trip.com User: I've been there twice this year, and the rare terrain itself on the volcanic islands is attracting attention, and the scenery and the sea of Jeju Island are mixed, giving you a mysterious feeling. The entrance fee is 5,000 won for adults and is free if you go on a walk without thinking of climbing to the top. There are good amenities such as parking lots and toilets, smoking rooms and electric car charging, and there are many hotels and shops nearby. Also, there are 10 minutes away from Seojikoji and various climbs, which are great for visits, but also for Jeju Island.

Trip.com User: This spot is one of the UNESCO Heritage places, however to enjoy its beauty you’d need to visit it on a sunny day. Unlikely, it was raining heavily and was foggy when I was there. Despite that, I enjoyed the trip and the place itself, besides it was fo free if you walk around. (you’d only pay for the entrance if you want to go up to the extinct volcano crater). Landscape was amazing and loked kind of alien. Eventually, I found this spot beautiful in any weather conditions.
