item. When you go out to the outdoor exhibition area, you can see
many faces in a row. These are the “Jeju Mushin Gung” statues. At

Yongduam Rock
Address :
Yongdam-dong,
Jeju-si, Jeju-do
Description :
Yongduam is a
volcanic rock that was created from an eruption about two million
years ago. It is 10 m high, and 30 m long. It is named so because of
the legend that a dragon (“yong”) living in his dragon palace tried
to ascend to the heavens and got stuck. Because the shape of the
rock resembles the shape of the dragon’s head, it is called Yongduam.
The rock now has only its body parts, because during a heavy storm a
while ago, the head part of the rock was hit with lightening and
fell off. About 200 meters to the east of Yongduam is Yongyeon
(Dragon’s pond). Again, the pond is so named because it was said
that the dragon used to play there. The water is so clean you can
see the bottom of the pond.
Directions :
From the
airport or Jeju city, take a taxi and to Yongduam.
