VISIT JEJU

This volcanic cone is located to the east of the entrance to Jongdal Village. The main peak (top) of the ridge is the eastern peak, which is in the shape of a cone. When seen from the north, the volcanic cone is made up of two peaks, and Hado-ri Changheung-dong Fish Farm can be found on the northwestern foot. 

This region is a bird sanctuary (circumference of approximately 3,700m, area of approximately 369,000㎡), with winter migrants such as black-faced spoonbiolls, sandpipers, and mallards flying in during the winter. 

Traces of a beacon fire station remain at the volcanic cone’s peak, and it is said that this station communicated with Wangga Beacon Fire Station to the northwest and Seongsan Beacon Fire Station to the southeast. 

The volcanic cone gets the name ‘Jimi’ because it corresponds to the tail of Jeju. This meaning is carried of when the name is written as Jimibong Volcanic Cone in Chinese characters, and it is also known as ‘Ttangkkeut.’ 

In the old days, Dumo-ri, Hangyeong-myeon was considered the head of Jejudo Island or Jejumok, and this volcanic cone, located at the easternmost end, was known as ‘Ttangkkeut.’ At the northern slopes of Dusanbong Volcanic Cone, Eunwolbong Volcanic Cone, and Siksanbong Volcanic Cone, a horseshoe-shaped crater opens to the north.
