Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak is a massive volcanic rock formed by an undersea eruption 100,000 years ago. Over time, as sand and stones accumulated, it became connected to the land of Seongsan and Sinhyeon-ri districts, forming a walkable marine parasitic crater. The peak is encircled by 99 sharp rocks that resemble a crown from afar. The sight of the sun slowly rising above Seongsan Ilchulbong at dawn is truly awe-inspiring. The crater at the top, when covered with snow in winter, becomes even more spectacular with its blanket of white.

The hiking trail up Seongsan Ilchulbong isn’t long—the hike takes about 30 minutes, making it easy for both adults and children to reach the summit. From the top, you can gaze down at Seongsan-eup shrouded in mist and look out toward the scenery of Udo Island. Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak is undoubtedly one of Jeju Island’s most iconic attractions—don’t forget to make a pilgrimage here when you visit Jeju!
