My first posting!! Dodu-Bong.
Dodu-Bong is "Oreum".
"Bong" means "Oreum" as a Jeju dialect.
Jeju island is a volcanic island,
resulting from a series of volcanic explosion that have occurred not so long ago.
Small parasite volcanos called "Oreum(오름)" were formed out of
small sized sporadic volcanic explosions at the Halla Mountain piedmont area
as Jeju island was formed.
"Oreum" refers to a tiny volcanic zone
that contains a volcanic cone scattered over the island.
This word, "Oreum", is a Jeju dialect.
The origin of the word "Oreum" is traced to a noun,
made from the verb "mount(오르다)".
Dodu-Bong is famous for its view of
Jeju City, Dodu Port, Jeju International Airport, and Halla Mountain.
On the top of Dodu-Bong,
you could see the whole Jeju city
from GuJeju(Old Jeju City) to ShinJeju(New part of Jeju City).
Looking around Dodu-Bong will take only about an hour.
Dodu-Bong is easy to access
