Heart-pounding summer vacation Jeju Island travel Dodae (old)

#Heart-pounding summer vacation

There is an ✨️old dodae✨️ on the Jeju Olle Trail Course 3. This place is also called dodaebul. This refers to a private lighthouse that was used to indicate the location of ports so that ships could safely return to port at night in the Jeju area before modern lighthouses were introduced. There are several theories about the origin of dodaebul, including one theory that it comes from 'mast fire', meaning 'a fire lit high like a mast', another theory that it comes from 'a fire that illuminates the path (道臺)', another theory that it comes from 'dodudai', the Japanese pronunciation of lighthouse (燈臺), and another theory that lighthouse is a standard word and 'dodae' is a Jeju dialect. The signpost erected when the 'Bukchon-ri Dodaebul' in Jochon-eup, Jeju-si was built reads, 'Eojeokwi Memorial Lighthouse Daejeong 4th year 12th month', and the name 'Deungmyeongdae' was used.
