24 Sep - Day 2: Seongsan Sunrise Peak 城山日出峰,济州




Our very first item of the itinerary - an UNESCO world heritage site! Well, the foreign guide, Annie, did not mentioned that - but noticed the huge monument that says it's one of the sites - Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak) at the eastern end of the island.

We did not climb our way up to see the crater... instead, went to the other side (lower land) to view the ocean.



The story of the crate went like this... Long ago, there's a mother who had many sons, each huge and strong. To feed them, she had to cook with a large pot (ie. the crate... can imagine how much food it was!). Then one day, as she accidentally fell into the pot while cooking. Her children, after work, helped themselves with the food and eventually found her body. What sad story...
