Western Jeju Attractions : suwolbong peak

Introduction

Suwolbong peak is a small oreum located in Gosan-ri, the westernmost point of Jejudo Island. Suwolbong rises 77m above sea level and the ocean-facing natural formation is surrounded by steches of green fields. On a clear day, the sunset from Suwolbong is comparable in beauty to the one from Sarabong.

On top of Suwolbong is a small pavilion called ‘Suwoljeong’. The pavilion offers views of Chagwido (an island known to be the most beautiful in Jeju), as well as Songaksan Mt. and Jukdo Island. Next to Suwolbong peak is a mountain weather station that observes and forecasts the weather for the western region.

Below the peak is a small Buddhist temple and ‘Eongal’, a steep cliff which faces toward the sea. Visitors can enjoy mineral water that falls freely from the cliff.

Introduction

The coastal highway extends from Yongdu-am to the airport. This road is good for driving, as well as hiking or biking, and will help you feel at harmony with the sea. You can refresh yourself with the salty smell of the ocean and the echoing sound of the waves. In the springtime, the highway is lined with a yellow wave of rape flowers. In the summertime, sea birds hover above the sea, crying out to their friends. In winter, the sea becomes calm and quiet. All of these different aspects of the coastal highway make it one of the most popular tourist area in Jeju all year round.
