Yongduam (Dragon Head Rock) |
As
a symbol of Jeju, this rock is said to be in the shape of a dragon's
head. It is located on the coast of Jeju City and is always
crowded with tourists. Legend claims that once an emissary
of the Dragon King ordered a search for the elixir of life on Mt.
Halla but was struck by an arrow released by the angry mountain
spirit and fell into the sea. Then the dragon king turned into stone
with its body submerged into water but its head reared to the heaven.
