Jeju-do Sangumburi, South Korea

It is a tranquil and scenic landscape with a vast expanse of reeds and a short walkway leading to views of a sizable crater.

Unlike other oleums (volcanic mounds) in Jeju, this requires one to pay to enter.  It is very well maintained, and many people come here during Fall time to see the fields of silver glass.

It gives three ways to get to the top, the stairs are the fastest, but I chose the one near the reed fields.

Is it reed or silver grass?  People get confused between the two.  This board explains the differences.  What is in Sangumburi is silver grass. 

When fall arrives, Sangumburi transforms into a breathtaking scene. The vast expanse of reeds turns from lush green to a mesmerizing golden sea, swaying gently in the wind. Imagine strolling through this golden wonderland, the sun filtering through the tall reeds, casting warm shadows on the undulating field. It’s a photographer’s dream and a nature lover’s paradise.

At the top.  This is the crater of this oleum.

While the focus is often on the reeds, don’t forget the stunning crater backdrop. The volcanic origins of Sangumburi add a dramatic touch to the landscape, with the crater rim offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

I am not sure whose tombs these are.
