Hallasan Mountain, Jeju Island

Hallasan Mountain is in the center of Jeju Island. It is also called Mt. Yeongjusan, meaning “mountain high enough to pull the galaxy.” The first glimpse of a beautiful scarlet sun rising in the east can be caught from here, and the blazing sunsets are likewise spectacular. Hallasan’s volcanic activity millions of years ago is what created its home, Jeju Island, and the top of this shield volcano is also the highest peak in the country. There is a national park surrounding the summit, and the area is deemed a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. Hallasan is extremely beautiful in autumn. The leaves of the trees turn into magnificent red and yellow color. In early and mid-November, the red and yellow leaves covered by snow near the top of the mountain.
