What your day looks like

Jeju is a volcanic island made by many times of volcanic eruptions under the sea for a long time. Southern Jeju is good evidence of the progress of volcanic activities having many spots of Global Geo Park and Biosphere Reserves by UNESCO. Yongmeori Cost is the oldest hydro-magmatic edifice in Jeju made about one million years ago, and there is a part of a tuff ring here which is shaped like a dragon that seems to perk its head up and fly away. Then we will see Mt Sanbangsan which stands out with a height of 398 meters behind Yongmeori Cost. We will have a break at O’sulloc cafe where you can see the green tea field, then we will head to Jungmun Beach in the Jungmun Tourist Complex. Or we will ride a horse looking up Mt. Hallasan and down the view of the southern sea for 30 minutes at the middle top of the forum (a small volcanic edifice). After lunch, we will visit the artwork of God, Jusangjeolli lava columnar which is 25 meters tall at this highest. A columnar joint is a pillar-shaped joint made of cracks that are formed by the contraction activities of lava while it is cooling. Then, we will take a walk around the famous filming location of the drama ‘Daijanggeum’, Oedolgae Rock which is Olle Trail #7 having the meaning of a small port standing abandoned’ with a sad legend. Or we will explore Biosphere Reserves, the only one colony of soft coral in the world on a submarine, and we will find shell fossils at Shell Fossils of the Seogwipo Formation (Global Geo Park by UNESCO). Finally, we will visit Cheonjiyeon Waterfall (World Geo Park by UNESCO) which means ‘a waterfall connecting the sky and land.
