Seongsan Ilchulbong (성산일출봉) is Jeju's most popular spot for watching the sunrise. It rose from under the sea in a volcanic eruption over 100,000 years ago. Located on the eastern end of Jeju Islans, there is a huge crater at the top of Seongsan Ilchulbong. The crater is about 600m in diameter and 90m high. With the 99 sharp rocks surrounding the crater, it looks like a gigantic crown.

this steep trail takes you to the top of Seongsan Ilchulbong
a 10 meter tall rock called Deunggyeongdol.it gets its name from its shape, which resembles a lamp
"People who live in the village of Seongsan call this rock Deunggyeongdol (Lamp Rock) or Jinggyeongdol rock. Villagers have a custom of bowing four times when passing by. The first two bows are for goddess Selmondae Halmang (Grandmother Selmondae), a benevolent and beautiful creator of Jeju Island. The last two bows are for General Kim Tong-Jeong, who sacrificed himself protecting his country from the Yuan Dynasty at the end of Korea's Koryo Dynasty. Legend has it that Grandmother Seulmondae carried dirt with her skirt to make the island during the day; by night, she would sew her skirt torn from the day's labor. It is said that this is the rock Grandmother Seulmondae used to set her lamp upon for sewing. It is also told that when General Kim Tong-Jeong was building a fortress in Seongsan Village to protect the country, he jumped around the rock to train his body and mind; the footprint on the middle of the rock is believed to have been thus carved. In olden days villagers held ancestral rites and prayed for prosperity of the village and for families to live in peace." -Seongsan Village Council
