| Andeokmyeon Sagyeri, Namjeju-gun, Jeju-do |
| Description |
It is said that the peak of Mt.Hallasan where Baekrokho Lake now exists was
taken off and thrown away, which then became Mt. Sanbangsan. The myth describes
how unlike other mountains on Jejudo Island, this mountain does not have a
crater. The 5m-high rock cave at the cliff on the southwest side of the mountain
was originally called Sanbanggul Cave, but it is called a temple now because it
possesses a Buddhist statue.
This is where monk Hye-Il (964~1053) had lived
during the Goryeo Dynasty (918~1392)
Inside the cave, you can see Marado
Island and the Dragon Head Coast. You can also see small ponds being made by the
water drops that fall from the ceiling all through the year. The plant zone on a
cliff of Mt. Sanbangsan is also designated as a natural monument. It is the only
place on Jejudo Island where island boxwoods grow. On the Dragon Head Coast is
the Hamel Memorial Monument.
