Almost the same shot, different that this was the immediate vicinity of the peak. The small road was the walking path that led from the carpark and entrance to the bottom of this tuff cone. 
Yet another view of the surrounding.
The sign board at the bottom, mentioning the peak at a height of 180m above sea level. 
Well maintained pathway up to the bottom of the tuff cone. 
Ticketing office to the Seongsan Ilchulbong. 
A UNESCO world heritage site.
Then we went for breakfast at the Dunkin Donuts’ store there. Look at how happy my coffee cup was. 
So this was the sunrise we were hoping to see. This was the giant poster there of what good looks like.
One of the branches from the main branch. 
Walls show the lines created by flowing lava. 
The tunnel is huge. The ceiling quite tall at some sections. The path is lighted. 
Close up shot of hardened walls. 
Turtle rock, looks as it’s name described. 
The largest Lava column, created by lava dripping from the top 
Entrance and Exit of the laval cave
Went back to Seongsan Ilchulbong, this shore beside it. 
Wildflowers were growing 
Found the building where the Haenyeo operate. 
Photo of one of them suiting up. 
The ground around the area had signs of lava from many years ago 
At the building, seafood kept fresh are being prepared for diners. 
Had a photo opportunity with one of them. There were really impressive, going to the sea without an oxygen tank and with all these gears. 
One of them returned with a live octopus! I am truly impressed.
Close up of the types of fresh seafood. Frankly, I can only recognise the abalone. 
Had an abalone with at an affordable price of 10k won (if I remembered right). A little salty though.
The area is paved really nicely to walk around with the tall silvergrass on the sides of the pathway. 
Another view of the silvergrass patch.
Then we visited the Jeju folk museum to take a look into the past of Jeju lives. 
We saw something looking back at us. 
The old fishing boats used by the fisherman 
Manmade waterfall 
These tiny huts of primitive material but looking really cosy 
The fences gate made of wood, to keep animals out. 
Statue of rattan craftsman weaving a basket 
Cows having their meal of hay 
On the inside of one of the buildings. A single wooden pillar supporting the roof, with lots of space. 
A compound of a typical village 
Traditional sedan carried by 4 people. Looked like one used for ceremonial purposes. 
Chinese chess game, probably influences from nearby China. 
Another building, could remember what this was for 
Old items kept in the museum, these are probably headgears of officials. 
A water well 
Government administration buildings 
These buildings were used for filming Korean dramas with historical story setting. 
Baby goats were kept there. 
Another set of buildings were goverment buildings. 
This was the prison.

Went to the E-Mart mall for our dinner. 
Settled for some fast food after days of Korean food.
