Situated to the east of Jeju Port, Sarabong is a main Oreum (Jeju dialect for “a small volcanic mountain”) that separates Jeju City from the sea. From the top of Sarabong, visitors can see the ocean to the north and magnificent Hallasan Mountain to the south. Time your hike to reach the top in the late afternoon to catch the reddish glow of the sunset glittering off the ocean.
Resembling a horseshoe and adorned with lush nut pine trees, Sarabong is a parasitic volcano with numerous scoria (macrovesicular volcanic rocks). Nearby Sarabong Park has numerous fitness facilities and is a favorite among visitors who enjoy taking walks.
This old woman has abs of steel! ...probably a Haenyeo.
At the peak of Sarabong is Mangyangjeong Pavilion.
People like to give us gifts for some reason, probably because we are blonde Americans, so far we have received bottled water, roasted chestnuts, rice cakes, and persimmons.
