Love this place, definitely a must-see. The cliff of cylindrical blocks are beautiful and the place is well-maintained with a renovation recently. Gentle steps down to the cliff side for the views. Wished there were fresh seafood for sale, the vendor was closed when we were there.

The columnar rock formation was an amazing sight. Loved to watch the strong waves splashing against the rugged coast. Equally fascinating was the contrast in the smooth roundness of rocks on the beach on the other side of the attraction. I chose to go for the sunset watch and it did not disappoint. The evening glow against the rocks was spectacular. I took bus 520 from Seogwipo which stopped in front of the ICC building (last stop). From there, a walk on normal paved road of about 800m led me to the entrance. A small fee is charged. The attraction is very well-managed and rather compact. I love it that restrooms in Jeju are always clean and available before you enter. There are a lot fewer stairs to climb compared to other natural attractions in Jeju. To note that in winter, it closes at 5:30pm. On the day that I went, the last ticket sold was at 5:05pm.

The cliffs are made of black lava stone that has crystalized into hexagonal columns. You can find the same at Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland. To go to the observation platform you need to by a ticket (KRW 2.000) but you can get sufficient views without a ticket as well.

If you can't find car parking outside it will cost you $1,000W to pack which isn't too bad. You then have to buy a ticket if you wish to see the cliff face. I got in free because of celebrations. The platforms are large with great photo opportunities. There are a couple stores selling food and souvenirs. There are toilets as well.

A visit to this place is usually included in day tours around Jeju Island. What's amazing about this place is the panorama of the sea and its surrounding mountains, with pillars made of basalt -- a product of lava that flowed into the sea in distant past. Their structure is surreal, just like some scenes you see in sci-fi movies. Taking fresh air from the observation deck is very relaxing. At the entrance to and exit from the site you'll find lots of souvenir shops and some eateries.

Make sure to check out this viewpoint at Jeju Island. The rock formations are otherwordly. Get that much deserved orange soft serve ice cream for that much needed recovery after.
