Hamdeok Beach is located in the east of Jeju City, and is a popular summer destination for tourists. The beach is clean and the water is shallow with a suitable slope, making it perfect for families with children to play in the water. The site can accommodate up to 50,000 visitors, and has a range of facilities. Meanwhile, the spectacular Xiwu Peak is opposite Hamdeok Beach, and the waves are moderate, making it a good place for coastal surfing. On Jeju's unique basalt coast, the towering lighthouse guides fishermen and enhances the surrounding beauty, creating a beautiful landscape painting.
Hamdeok Beach is also an important producer of watermelons on Jeju Island, and coastal seafood restaurants provide fresh sashimi. If you enjoy fishing, there is the Beonchun Fishing ground about 2 kilometers east of the beach, which is also a great choice for experiencing the simple fishing village life.

At the end of the trail, there is a lighthouse standing on a protruding land, with a windproof stone wall along the way. Crossing the stone wall reveals a field of rapeseed flowers, blooming brightly every April. The iron steps on the lighthouse make it easy to reach the top, where you can admire the beautiful coastal scenery from the railing. On the wide grassy coastal cliff stands a rock called Xianshi. This is Sheji Cape, formerly known as Sheji, which means prominent terrain in the Jeju Island dialect. This is a corner of the eastern coast of Jeju Island, with a preserved stone structure watchtower on a gentle slope, about 4 meters high and 9 meters long. Sheji Cape became famous because of the TV drama "Locheng Life and Death Love", and now it has attracted more fans because of "The Man Who Became King for the Sake of Love". At Sheji Cape, there is also the earliest TV drama museum in Korea called "All in House". On the way to the lighthouse, the windproof stone wall and the rapeseed field form a beautiful scenery, which can be refreshing.

Sanjungbong Peak is a special volcano on Jeju Island and is considered a gem among low-level volcanic craters. Unlike other volcanoes, Sanjungbong Peak was not covered by lava during its eruption, so it formed a 2-kilometer-long hole called the "flat volcano mouth," which is Korea's 263rd natural monument. The distribution of plants inside the volcano mouth is also very special, divided into temperate and subtropical regions due to differences in water erosion and sunlight, growing different types of plants. Yellow stem orchids, tiger lilies, and cold berries are rare plants. In addition, there are many rare plant communities such as golden-leaf eggplant, Changshan, Jeju bamboo, and side golden-flowered evening primrose. Sanjungbong Peak is also a habitat for many wild animals, such as deer, badgers, birds, and reptiles. In the spring, white clouds float beneath the volcano mouth, and wildflowers such as plum blossoms and dragon's heads bloom, making this place even more mysterious. Tourists also come here to climb Sanjungbong Peak and experience this heavenly landscape.
