Jeju Hidden Gem | Sangumburi, a Unique Romantic Encounter
| Sangumburi, a Unique Romantic Encounter. Jeju Island is full of attractions, such as Udo, Seogwipo, and Seopjikoji, which are always crowded with tourists. However, Sangumburi is a hidden gem, like a pearl in the sea. This hidden gem gave me a big surprise, even though the weather was not good, it was still beautiful everywhere, and the photos were amazing!
Sangumburi is not only a literary name, but also the filming location of the movie "Love Wind Love Song". It is actually a low volcano crater, unique in Korea and rare in the world. Compared to the charming sea view of Jeju Island, the mountain view of Sangumburi is unique. In summer, it is full of greenery; in October and November, it quietly changes into a golden dress, full of autumn.
