ABOUT JEJU

Jeju is proud of its unique cultural folk heritage as well as its geographical and historical relevance. The island itself is an extinct volcano with its peak jutting skyward at the center and a broad, gentle littoral all the way around showing a very unique geographical condition. There are bountiful forests and ravines, fantastic rock formations and volcanic craters, and caves and grasslands that together paint a natural scene of breathtaking beauty. Sparkling seas and tiny islets surround Jeju, with rocks scattering amidst sandy beaches to create a magnificent view everywhere you look.

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.

Hallasan Mountain lays claim to the title of South Korea’s tallest mountain with the height of 1,950m above sea level. Home to a wide variety of vegetation, the mountain possesses immense scientific value and is a veritable treasure trove of animals and plants, leading to the designation of Hallasan Mountain Natural Reserve as Natural Monument 182 on October 12, 1966. In fall, when everything is blanketed by a colorful display of flowers, the mountain covered with the red color of the fall foliage is truly a sight to behold, while the snow-covered mountain in the winter stands out as the view to surpass all views. Hallasan Mountain was believed to have erupted 25,000 years ago, and the 360 or so volcanic cones surrounding the mountain present a unique view. Furthermore, the majestic figure of Hallasan Mountain rising from the middle of the mountain makes it appear as if it is carrying itself with a benevolent yet tenacious spirit.

NEAR THE VENUE

Located within a 6-minute walking distance from the Venue, there is the Columnar Joint, and a 25-minute drive away is the Cheonjiyeon Waterfall. We hope that our participants can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Jeju during their stay. Columnar Joint Picturesque Landscape with Towering Lava Pillars
Jungmun Daepo Coast Jusangjeolli Cliff is spreading about 2km along the coast from Jungmun-dong to Daepo-dong, Seogwipo-si. It is a pillar rock formation created when cooled and shrunken lava split vertically, typically resulting in pentagonal or hexagonal columns. The formation is up to 25m high, and more clinkers generally found in aa lava flows are observed in the upper layer. The column joints were formed by the flow of lava from the Nokhajiak Oreum, located upstream of Daepo Village. Jungmun Daepo Coast Jusangjeolli Cliff is also called Jisatgae Jusangjeolli after the old name of Jungmun, Jisatgae. In addition to this, Jusangjeolli is found in Jungmun Yerae-dong Beach, Andeok Valley, Cheonjeyeon Falls, and Sanbangsan area, all in Jeju.

Cheonjiyeon The Pond where Heaven Meets Earth
Cheonjiyeon means a pond (yeon) joining the sky (cheon) and land (ji). Literally at the waterfall, white water falls from the rock cliff making a thundering sound into a pond. Cheonjiyeon, one of the most representative waterfalls on Jeju Island, is about 22 meters high and 12 meters wide, and below the waterfall is a pond with a depth of 20 meters. In the lower part of the fall is Seogwipo Formation, consisting of volcanic materials and marine sediments, which is covered by lava erupted about 400,000 years ago. Falling water continued eating the formation away, creating a 20-meter-deep pond. Originally, the waterfall was closer to the sea than it is now, but it is estimated that it has gradually moved upstream of the valley due to the erosion over time.
