Fodor's Expert Review Sanbanggul (Sanbang Cave)

This grotto carved into the side of Sanbangsan mountain is a significant Buddhist shrine and one of the most important and popular cultural sites on the island of Jeju. The steep staircase climb is exhausting but well worth the effort for the panoramic ocean views. Once at the top, visitors can drink from the fresh mountain spring and make a donation to the life-sized Buddha statue.
