Seongsan Sunrise Peak rose from under the sea in a volcanic eruption over 100,000 years ago. Located on the eastern end of Jejudo Island, there is a huge crater at the top of Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak. The crater is about 600m in diameter and 90m high. With the 99 sharp rocks surrounding the crater, it looks like a gigantic crown. While the southeast and north sides are cliffs, the northwest side is a verdant grassy hill that is connected to the Seongsan Village.
Seopjikoji is located at the end of the eastern shore of Jeju-do Island. "Seopji" is the old name for the area, and "Koji" is Jeju dialect meaning a sudden bump on land. Going up the metal steps of the lighthouse, you can view the whole seashore at a glance. On Koji hill, there stands a stone Bongsudae (4 m high, 9 m long and wide) that retains its original form.

Jusanjeollu tour by Pleasure Boat offers dazzling scenery on the coastal lines and islands around Seogwipo Port in Jeju. Famous for its scenery worldwide, it has been a definite tour course for international dignitaries and tourists visiting Jeju.
The Jusangjeolli are stone pillars piled up along the coast and is a designated cultural monument of Jejudo Island. They are rock pillars shaped like cubes or hexagons of various sizes and almost seem as if stonemasons had carved them out. The waves of the high tides crashing into the side of the cliff provide a breathtaking view of the ocean surrounding the pillars. Jeju Folk Village Museum, a comprehensive collection of traditional folk articles from the Island, which were mostly prevalent around the 1890’s. More than 100 traditional houses were removed from their original locations where the islanders had actually resided even along with a piece of stone and pole. Over 8,000 pieces of folk articles are displayed such as household equipment, farming instruments, fishing tools, furniture, and stone wares.

U-do was named for its shape, said to resemble either a cow lying down or the head of a cow. Located 3.5 km. northeast of Seongsan-po, it is just 15 minutes by boat (5-4 round trips daily). U-do has a coral sand beach. The southern part of U-do contains a cave called Gwangdaegoji. When the sun shines through the cave entrance, it is reflected on the ceiling, looking just like a rising moon. This phenomenon is called 'Dalgeurian' ('Day Moon') and is the most magnificent of the 8 beautiful scenes of U-do. Visitors should time their visit appropriately- the best time to see the scene is around noon.

Near the eastern town of Songsan-ri, a volcanic crater with vertical cliffs rises up from the shore. As the easternmost tip of Jeju Island, this area is the first to greet each day's new sun, thus earning the name of "Sunrise Peak." A hefty climb brings visitors to the top of the peak. Visitors are prevented from entering the crater by barbed wire, but they can still enjoy the panoramic views of the surrounding area. Jagged rocks stick up like teeth along the crater's perimeter. It is definitely worth the view, even if you do not make it in time for the sunrise.
