Sanbangsan

Introduction

Sanbangsan and Yongmeori Coast are a spectacular, unique volcanic and coastal sight on Jeju Island, with a majestic bell-shaped volcano and a rugged sea-cliff coast, spectacular and unique, a magnificent sight on Jeju. Sanbangsan and Yongmeori Coast are a spectacular, unique and adjacent volcanic and coastal sight in southwestern Jeju. Sanbangsan is a majestic, unique, abrupt bell-shaped volcano (lava dome), not an ordinary pointed peak but a huge, rounded mountain of viscous lava piled up, standing abruptly on the coastal plain like a giant bell or hat, majestic and unique; halfway up is an archaic temple perched on the cliff (Sanbanggulsa) overlooking the coast. At the foot of Sanbangsan by the sea lies the spectacular, unique Yongmeori Coast (meaning Dragon Head Coast), a spectacular, rugged, unique sea-cliff coast carved by the sea over millennia from volcanic tuff: its wave-like, twisted, stacked rock layers and the rugged, strange cliffs, reefs and sea-eroded landforms (shaped like a giant dragon dipping its head into the sea, hence the name) are spectacular, strange, unique and stunning, set against the surging waves and open blue sea, magnificent as a painting. Visitors can walk along the trail among the reefs to admire this miraculous volcanic sea-cliff landform up close (Yongmeori is open by tide; closed at high tide or in rough seas); nearby you may also see Jeju's haenyeo diving. A visit to Jeju and its spectacular Sanbangsan and Yongmeori Coast is a magnificent sight.
