It's a small hike to the peak and the view was just amazing up there. Would recommend visit for sunset/ or sunrise in winter. Definitely one of the highlights in our trip.
David Fock Chun ManMay 30, 2016
The entrance fee is 2000Won and you can choose to climb it to see the sunrise or sunset. Innisfree a cosmetic brand is nearby. There is also Lotteria, a burger chain and Dunkin Donuts with Starbucks.

Loved it, especially after being a but disappointed by Udo island. Very busy but oh so beautiful. Performance by the female divers at the bottom of the stairs every day at 1 and 3pm.

Definitely a place worth a visit. Selected by UNESCO as one of the important place on the Earth, this place will enchant you with the magnificent view sculpted by mother nature.

2,000 Won is worth paying. Challenge yourself to walk up, round trip is only 50mins to an hour. Get ready to take plenty of nice scenic views as you head up the top. You can catch female divers too.

Sunrises being Sunrises, your experience may vary. Still, wake up! Otherwise you might regret it when you climb and see the purpose built viewing decks.

My 60-year-old mom ran up to the top, all while singing a Korean song about the area. Worth the climb!
Russell HirschornAugust 10, 2015
Truly incredible site. Around 2000 steps top to bottom but well worth it. See the lady diver show and take a lot of pictures.
Felix KerFebruary 11, 2016
If you're here with someone that isn't hiking up, they can spend the hour at Dunkin Donuts, Caffe Bene, Angel-in-us, etc. There's also shopping around the area. In summary, lots of food and shopping.

Well Seongsan Ilchulbong means Sunrise Peak in Korean. It doesn't mean watching sunrise is a must. Its sunset view is equally impressive!
Isabelle ChrunMay 13, 2015
Seongsan Ilchubong is an extinct volcanic crater and UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site 2000₩ entry fee 180m climb for a great view
Alyssa NgOctober 14, 2014
Be prepared to hike up the stairs about 180m zigzag route for a magnificent view of the volcanic crater and Seongsan town. Wear comfy hiking shoes and warm jacket to go.
Felix KerFebruary 11, 2016
Beautiful UNESCO heritage site to visit on Jeju Island. The peak is 180 meters high and you'll need about one hour at this place (hike up and down).
Justine MJApril 29, 2017
Going up and down hv diff routes. Toilet available half way. Lots of tourist and restaurants. Got free entrance on the day I went 😊
Tiff TingMay 25, 2017
A short climb, but the view from the top and the geographical uniqueness are worth the 2,000 won admission fee.
Lingy MaiAugust 28, 2019
Free path on the left if you don’t want to pay 2000 won entry fee to peak. You get the view from the beach up where the Haenyeo (women divers ) sales their catch of the day.
Veronica VNovember 6, 2013
Place that you simply have to visit in Jeju :) amazing view from the top and when you get hungry, there is a lot of sea food restaurants around.
RayJuly 9, 2012
I took bus from Jeju City Bus Terminal to Seongsan Ilchulbong. The fare is KRW3900, it took 1 hr 30 mins to reach there. The admission fee is KRW2000. It is beautiful. I love it!
Yoyo R. C.October 3, 2016
A must do in Jeju. Cheap and beautiful. A bit of a workout to get to the top, but 110% worth it.
Najwa LukmanSeptember 24, 2014
DO THE CLIMB! No matter how long you will take, I promise the view up there is worth it :)
William KanMay 28, 2015
Have to say the icon of Jeju, if I ever come again I would spend a whole day here.
Hana KimDecember 24, 2015
The view of the crater was amazing. Should spend more time here especially if you want to get to the peak.

Mountain is beautiful and an easy hike up the mountain. Great views. Black sand beach but only for sightseeing. Too many people and too dirty.
Izzul RuzainiOctober 5, 2014
The best main attraction in Jeju. Have to climb to reach the peak but worth all the sweat
Justin PakAugust 13, 2019
The hike is a lot shorter than you think. Just do it!
Erianti EdwardMay 26, 2012
To go up you need at least 20 minutes. Once you come back down it is good to buy Jeju special chocolate here since u'll get free services :)
Charmagne MalateSeptember 26, 2013
You may take a taxi directly from the Jeju International Port Terminal, taxi drivers may charge you by the meter, however you may negotiate with the price.. :)
DavidOctober 19, 2014
Nice for having a short walk if you are nearby.
Emil BredahlSeptember 10, 2015
It is a beautiful view from the top and super refreshing
Metin YenturOctober 27, 2014
It feels like climbing a 50 storey building, but you forget the pain when you are at the top.
François Silva RamosFebruary 22, 2015
Take a bit to climb up. But the view from the top totally worth it.
Melvin CarreonMay 1, 2014
Really exhausting but it's all worth it! One of the New 7 Wonders of the World and UNESCO Certified National Heritage! 🇰🇷
Berkay BuharaliMay 27, 2018
An impressive landmark in Jeju. If it is windy, you might have hard times
