korea Free and easy (Jeju) : Sangumburi Crater , All in house








All in house.
I did not go into the house as I did not not watch the show. Not much interest. We look a walk along the coast as it is quite enchanting.





Sangumburi Crater
Extinct volcanic crater filled with lush vegetation.
It is definitely much easier to conquer than sunrise peak. and also provide great views
I like the cute toilet signs.

Yongyeon Pond

Yongyeon is where the sea meets fresh water. The legend goes that an envoy was sent to the pond frequently by the Dragon King. The narrow pond is flanked by eight rock walls like folding screens. Called also Yongyeon Yabeom, the pond is one of the twelve best views in Yeongju. Yongyeon Yabeom refers to the fact that a full moon illuminated on the pond creates a breathtaking night atmosphere.
