Seongsan Ilchulbong, Seogwipo, Jeju-do, South Korea

It was a surprise when I was here. I was not told that this is part of the itinerary, hence I was not properly dressed. I was wearing a long sleeve blouse and a pair of long jeans, but with a good walking shoes (Thank God!). Totally and absolutely a disaster. 
Although, the weather was a nice, warm yet windy weather when I was there, I'm soaked in sweat when I reached the peak and when I reached the foot of the base. The climb was easy and safe, really a good exercise. I saluted a few elderly people who have successfully climbed all the way to the peak. They really have the stamina. The stairs are wide enough for 3 people to walk to and fro so there's no issue if one of them stopped for a break. 
Along the way up, there're small gazebos with benches for people to rest and catch their breath. Whoever climbs up are always drenched with sweat, but when reached to the peak, the view was really breathtaking. It was worth the climb.
