Seongsan Ilchulbong is an extinct volcanic crater that one could climb and come down from within an hour. There is a concrete pathway and stairway to the top with 2 rest stops along the way. Once you reach the crater rim you are rewarded with a magnificent and majestic view of the eastern coast, which is why the place has been designated a World Natural Heritage site.

I know it's kid stuff but some of my lady companions wanted to go here so I had no choice but to come along. As expected, the place shows not just teddies but all sorts of stuffed animals in various get-ups, from an African safari to fairy tale characters. Very cheesy, I know. But if you're with kids and teeny-boppers, well you just have to oblige them.

Admission price for adults: 7,000 won, children: 5,000 won, adolescents: 6,000 won.

Open from 9 am - 8 pm.

We went to the Delphic Games in Sinsan Park and Jeju Cultural Center. There was more hype than what we actually saw, which is common in South Korea. There were supposed to be 50 countries represented, but we only saw 6 mentioned. Out of the 6 about 4 were Asian countries.
There was supposed to be "ethnic fare" there, but when we got to the eatery, there was hotdogs and spaghetti. Korean style spaghetti is not that appetizing to me because they add sugar to the sauce and it is vey sweet.
We did end up seeing some great music in an outdoor venue. The day was perfect for sitting outdoors and enjoying - not too hot, not too cold with a slight breeze. We saw a Peruvian band (unfortunately the Peruvians did not bring food with them) and an Apache band from Ecuador.
We went to the Delphic Games with another foreigner and three of her adult Korean students. I found it interesting that they would only look at things that were done by Korean artists. In the calligraphy presentation, there was amazing calligraphy done in Arabic, but they would only look at the Korea calligrapher. Unfortunate as the other cultures had so much to offer.

Yongduam Rock, or the Dragon's Head, is one of Jeju-do's best-known landmarks. Couples on their honeymoon traditionally have their picture taken here. The beach here is a favorite place for really FRESH seafood. Local divers, all women, swim to the bottom, haul up shellfish, place them in their floating nets, and finally return to shore with their catch. You can purchase some for a very low price, and have a seaside snack. It doesn't get much better than that.

The local legend has it that a dragon rose from the sea, trying to get to heaven. But the Guardian of Mt Halla shot it with an arrow, which turned it into stone. The rock here is said to have been the dragon's head. Well, it's a good yarn.

This is a unique sculpture garden, with statues composed of stone and wood (the wood of the jorok or yew tree). This type of tree grows into some odd shapes, and is found only on this island.

Here, it was combined with stone by a local resident artist, to create some of the most unusual artwork that you'll ever see. Be sure to see the romantic, lifelong story of a Korean couple, told through these strange shapes. There is nothing else quite like it.
