Aqua Planet Jeju

Udo, also known as Coral Island, Haenyeo Island, and Lighthouse Island, is a small island located in the east of Jeju. The whole island is shaped like a lying cow, hence the name Niu Island. With the exception of Uduubong, a parasitic volcano in Hallasan Mountain, Udo is flat as a whole, with a steep cliff facing the sea. 80% of the filming of “Mermaid Princess” starring Jeon Do-yeon took place on Udo Island. Choi Ji Woo’s “Lian Lizhi” and Jun Ji Hyun’s “Untouchable Lovers” have both been filmed in Udo, which has become one of the representative tourist attractions in Jeju. The peak standing on the flat ground of Udo Island is Niutou Peak. The unique height can not only have a panoramic view of Udo Island, but even the Seongsan Sunrise Peak. Climb up the hillside along the fence to the top and come to the white lighthouse. The trail connecting the lawn to the reed field seems more attractive than the view from the top of the lighthouse. A few cows are scattered among the bushes, reminiscent of the island’s name. Unknown wildflowers sway in the wind, as romantic as a lyric poem. There are also microscopic models of Sokcho Lighthouse and Budo Lighthouse. The road to the lighthouse is very steep, and it is not suitable for the elderly and infirm to climb. In addition, the “Eight Views of Udo Island” is the representative scenery of Udo Island, which includes day and night (bright moon in the daytime, fishing sails at night), sky and earth (Tianjin Mountain View, Ditou Qingsha), front and back (Qianpu) Wangdao, Houhai Stone Wall), east and west (Whale Cave on the east coast and Baisha on the west coast). Under the abruptly standing Niutou Peak are the Houhai Stone Wall and the East Coast Whale Cave among the Eight Views of Niu Island. The stone wall in Houhai is 20m high and 30m wide, and surrounds the Heisha (Black Sand) beach, which is famous for its black sand. The East Coast Whale Cave located at the end of the beach is one of the famous caves in Udo Island, which means that it can accommodate whales from the east, and is also called the “Nose Cave”. There are holes in the East Coast Whale Cave, the entrance is only visible at low tide. It is another taste to enjoy the sky and sea view outside in the cave.
