Rising from the **western tip of Jeju Island**, **Suwolbong Peak** is a **300,000-year-old volcanic crater** where black lava cliffs meet turquoise waves—and where the island’s wildest sunsets paint the sky in neon hues. A *must* for hikers, photographers, and solitude seekers!
### **🌟 *MUST-SEE HIGHLIGHTS*:**
- **The Crater’s Edge:** Walk the **1.2km loop trail** around the **horseshoe-shaped crater**, with 360° views of the sea and neighboring **Chagwido Island**. 🌋🌅
- **Lava Cliffs & Sea Caves:** Spot **natural arches** carved by waves, and the **“Dragon’s Back”**—a jagged basalt ridge. 🐉
- **Sunset Magic:** Stay till dusk when the cliffs glow **golden-red** and fishing boats dot the horizon.
### **💡 *TRAVEL TIPS*:**
- **Wear Hiking Shoes:** The trail is rocky and steep in parts. 👟
- **Wind Warning:** Hold onto your hat—gusts here are *strong*! 🌬️
- **Pair with Hallim Park:** 10 mins away—explore **lava tubes and tropical gardens**. 🌺
### **📸 *INSTA-WORTHY SPOTS*:**
- **Standing on the crater rim** with the sea behind you.
