About this audio guide
This guide to Jeju Stone Park traces the myth of Seolmundae, the giantess said to have built the island itself, carrying dirt in her skirt and resting her head on Mount Halla. It follows her story into a stranger and sadder turn: a huge pot of porridge she set to boil for her five hundred sons, and what happened when they came home hungry. You'll walk the park as her own body, from an ear-shaped entrance through halls following her torso, past the pond and the stone piles that carry her story forward.
