An outstanding and ineffable place to visit! The mountain has a nice contrast with the sea. I also love the greenery and the black sand. If I ever come back to Jeju, I would love to hike up the mountain!
The view and atmosphere are wonderful. You will have to walk to the top, it is not too high so go slowly and enjoy the view from above. The sea and mountains give you a feeling of peace.I heard that in winter, when there is snow, it will be very beautiful.

If you are in Jeju and wants to catch the Sunrise, do check the sunrise timing and plan your itinerary in advance and your set off time. To hike to the peak, it will take roughly about 20 to 30mins. Although you are setting off in the early morning, there is no need to worry about the hiking route. The hike up is mainly steps and there is well-managed walking path. We travelled during the winter season and it was manageable. However do bring along your jacket as the hike up could be rather chilly. However, we are rather unlucky due to the cloudy day but it was still a good workout. After you are done with peak, the way down there was also many scenic view for photo taking. Overall, it is a must-visit place at Jeju!
