Seongsan Ilchulbong , the Sunrise Peak, is a UNESCO volcanic tuff cone on the east coast, with a climb to the crater and sea views at sunrise.

Hallasan and the interior

Hallasan, the highest mountain in South Korea, is a volcano with trails to the summit crater. Some trails require a permit.

Food & shopping
