Korea, Jeju island : 성산 일출봉

En français
From 태왕사신기we took the taxi then the bus to go to 성산 일출봉(seongsan Ilchulbong) sunrise peak. It's a volcanic formation called tuff cone formed by phreatic eruption, which means that the magna coming to the surface first warmed up the water causing water evaporation almost instantaneously and projecting it with the lava during the explosion, about 5 thousand years ago. The inside of the tuff cone is now covered with vegetation but presents divers structures considered of geological worth for the study of volcanic activities. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Korea, Jeju island : 태왕사신기

En français
We then took a long walk to reach 태왕사신기. 태왕사신기 is a filming location of the drama 태왕사신기, one of my favorite Korean drama. The park contains, the market place and the houses of the different characters in the Drama and the palace. It was really interesting to see that the places had been build especially for the drama with so much details and that places that seems to be so far away in the drama where in fact just near to each other. It was also amazing because the camera angle needs to be correct so that they film one place without showing anything from the other. It was a very interesting insight in the world of drama making and I really liked it.
