About this audio guide
This guide to Seopjikoji on Jeju follows an old story about the Dragon King's son, ordered to wait one hundred days on this headland before he could marry a fairy who bathed in the sea below. Locals still call the shoreline stone where he waited Seondolbawi, and couples visit it before marrying. A Joseon-era beacon tower still stands on the rise behind it, four meters high, built to watch the same restless water.
