2 Best Sights in Jeju-do, South Korea

Formed from a volcano eruption, the 600 ft. high Sunrise Peak was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007 and is the perfect place to enjoy breathtaking sunrises. The jagged rocks lining the outer rim of the crater are said to resemble a king's crown. Be aware that the climb to the top is steep and challenging.

Trekkers and photographers flock to this low-lying, horseshoe-shaped volcanic cone in Jeju's northeast for its gentle, undulating landscapes and its ever changing seasonal foliage. It takes just 15 minutes of easy hiking to reach the top of the cone, where you can take in views of Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak), Udo Island, and some of Jeju's other prominent volcanic cones. You can circumnavigate the entire crater in a leisurely one-hour hike. The cone attracts many hikers particularly in autumn, when colonies of shining silvergrass cover its slopes.
