Explanation

Hallasan Mountain stands proudly at the center of Jeju Island and is perhaps the island’s most memorable landmark. Also called Yeongjusan Mountain, meaning "mountain high enough to pull the galaxy," Hallasan Mountain is widely known by scientists for its geological value. Designated as a national park in 1970, there are 368 parasitic cones called "oreum" (Jeju dialect meaning peak) around the main mountain.

Hallasan Mountain is famous for its vertical ecosystem of plants that results from the varying temperatures along the mountainside. Over 1,800 kinds of plants and 4,000 species of animals (3,300 species of insects) have been identified; to explore the mountain's treasures, simply follow one of the well-developed hiking trails.

Within the village are Seodeoksa Shrine, a historic monument, and 13 additional buildings for ancestral rites in honor the clan's ancestors. For 600 years, Saundang Head House has continued the legacy as the ancestral home of Uiseong Kim Clan Commonly referred to as the "head house," this ancestral home is not only the residence of the firstborn but also serves as the spiritual pillar and center of the village.

Inside the pond, there is a small, round rock, as if an island, where a 300-year-old tree has stood the test of time alongside the old house. Walk past the pond and ascend the stone steps to the front yard, where a sarangchae (main guest room) greets visitors. In 1984, the house was recognized for its value and designated as a National Folk Cultural Heritage. This traditional house offers hanok stays, as well as experience programs such as tea ceremonies, natural dyeing, and traditional music performances. Nearby attractions include Noseongsanseong Fortress, Noseonghyanggyo Confucian School, Noseong Gwollisa Temple, and the main neighborhood of Noseong-myeon.
