Jusangjeollidae

Top choice


Just south of the Jeju International Convention Centre is a dramatic 2km stretch of coastline known for rectangular rock columns that look as if they were stamped out with a cookie cutter. The formations are the result of the rapid cooling and contraction of lava as it poured into the sea. This spectacular rock formation – called Daepo Jusangjeolli – is part of Olle Trail Rte 8.
