Because it is the place where Jeong-jun used to park the bus and spend intimate time with Yeong-ok. If you enter the breakwater behind it, there is a cute mural painted on it, and there is a white lighthouse at the end.

Historic Site of Anti-Mongolian Struggle in Hangpadu-ri is where the Sambyeolcho military unit of the Goryeo dynasty resisted the invasion of Mongolia until the last possible moment. The site houses an exhibition hall, a monument, and a unique mud fortress. Nearby is Jangsumul Spring (Jangsu means general) which flowed from the footprints of General Kim Tong-jeong. Today, water from the spring cannot be used as drinking water.

Sambyeolcho was a military unit of the Goryeo dynasty. When the Goryeo dynasty made peace with the Mongolian forces in February 1270 (the 11th year of King Wonjong), the Sambyeolcho special defense unit opposed it and launched a resistance movement. They moved their base to Jindo in Jeollanam-do, but after suffering a huge defeat, they moved to Jeju-do and built Hangpaduseong Fortress. They continued to fight against the Mongolian forces for two more years there. However, all the members were killed in April 1273 (the 14th year of King Wonjong).

This independent anti-Mongolian movement was born out the deeply patriotic belief in the need to safeguard the nation from foreign invasion. In 1977, the government invested 745 million won to restore part of the fortress and build a monument in commemoration of those who died in the war. The work was completed in June 1978.

Jeju is often referred to as Samda-do, which can be translated to “island of three abundances,” because it has many stones, wind, and women. Stones from Jeju are prohibited from being taken out of Jeju and only processed stones are exported. The most well-known processed stone production in Jeju is dol hareubang (“stone grandfather”). Geumneung Rock Park is a place where travelers who are tired of seeing the same-old dol hareubang can appreciate the essence of Jeju stones. It is a park created on a 33,058m² site by master craftsman Jang Gong-ik, who has been making dol hareubang for about 40 years, expressing aspects of Jeju life through stones. The park has a Buddhist-friendly atmosphere overall with statues of Buddha, which are all works of Jang Gong-ik, who has maintained this place for decades.

Geum Parasitic Cone is one of the most famous parasitic cones in the western mountainous region of Jeju. It is a satellite volcanic edifice that has a large circular crater (52 meters deep) and a crater at the summit, and the two peaks in the south and the north are connected by a low slope from east to west. The crater at the summit once held an abundant volume of water but it is now empty. The name Geum Parasitic Cone is speculated to have derived from an archaic word "Gom," which means "god." Therefore, it can be interpreted that this parasitic cone has been deified since the ancient times. Pines, cedars, briers, bo trees and Oriental photinia can be found near the circular crater and the lake area.
