Stunning Natural Landmark. A unique Shape Dramatic Appearance

#cityplaybook #southkorea #historicallandmarks #localguides Maebawi, also known as the “Falcon Rock,” is a pair of striking vertical rock formations located on Jebudo Island (제부도) in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. The name comes from the Korean word “mae” (매) meaning falcon, and “bawi” (바위) meaning rock—because locals say the taller rock resembles a falcon in flight when viewed from certain angles. ⸻ 📍 Address: Maebawi Rocks Jebudo Island, Seosin-myeon, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (제부도 매바위, 경기도 화성시 서신면 제부리) ⸻ 💬 Real-deal Experience Standing in front of Maebawi felt like walking into a natural sculpture park carved by the ocean and time. The rocks are massive and dramatic—one slender and standing tall like a sentinel, the other broader and grounded. What stood out was the vibe of discovery—you get there by walking across a rocky seabed that only appears at low tide, almost like you’re crossing into a secret world. The sound of waves, the cool sea breeze, and the feeling of the rough, barnacled rocks underfoot made the whole experience tactile and grounding. It’s not just a photo spot—it’s a moment of awe. Why’s it worth a shoutout? Because you’re not just seeing nature—you’re walking right through it. It’s raw, real, and ridiculously photogenic. Perfect for people who love off-the-beaten-path vibes but still want that Instagrammable moment. 👣📸
