Seongsan Ilchulbong, also known as Sunrise Peak

#hellohalloween One of the most breathtaking sights in Jeju is Seongsan Ilchulbong, also known as Sunrise Peak. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was formed by a volcanic eruption over 100,000 years ago, leaving behind a dramatic tuff cone that rises 182 meters above the sea. From the top, you’re rewarded with sweeping views of the coastline, the emerald sea, and the crater itself—a panorama that makes every step worthwhile. ✨🌅🧡 As its name suggests, sunrise is the most magical time to visit. The early morning hike (about 20–30 minutes to the summit) is moderately easy, and watching the first light break over the horizon is an unforgettable experience. Comfortable shoes, water, and if you’re aiming for sunrise, a light jacket—it can get chilly in the early hours. There are shops and cafés near the base where you can enjoy Jeju specialties like hallabong juice after your hike. The site is well-paved but does involve stairs, so allow extra time if you prefer a slower pace. ☀️🍂🍁 📍 284-12 Ilchul-ro, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do 🕓 7:30 am - 8:00 pm 💸 A small fee is charged (around 2,000–5,000 KRW), and tickets are available on-site. 🚇 From Jeju City, it’s about an hour by car or public bus. If you’re staying on the east side of Jeju, it’s even closer. #seongsanilchulbong #sunrisepeak #jejuisland #visitkorea #koreatrip #southkoreatravel #travelkorea #koreaguide #koreaitinerary #visitsouthkorea #seoulkoreaasia
