Seongsan

성산 · East Jeju

Jay · lives in Korea · How I choose places

the sunrise crater, and the island off the island

The crater end of Jeju. Ilchulbong is all stairs and worth every one, early, before the tour buses; Udo is fifteen minutes across the water; Ando sank a museum into the Seopjikoji headland. The haenyeo kitchens do breakfast after the climb.

No photos, no star ratings — just what I'd tell a friend. These are the places on my own map, 25 of them here: 9 I've been to, 16 I haven't made it to yet.
