Saebyeol Oreum
새별오름
One of the best-known parasitic volcanoes in western Jeju. In autumn the whole hill is covered in silver pampas grass, and the summit is ideal for watching the sunset.
Saebyeol Oreum (New Star Peak) is a parasitic volcanic cone about 519 meters high. Its gentle pentagonal shape, with pampas grass covering the slopes, turns silver in the sunset light in autumn, a symbol of Jeju autumn. The climb from the parking lot to the summit takes about 30 minutes. It is steep but has steps and ropes, and from the top you can see Hallasan, the western coast, and Biyang Island. The hill was once known for the Jeju Wildfire Festival, when the mountain was burned in spring. Admission is free. It is located along Pyeonghwa Road and requires a car or taxi. The summit is windy, so bring warm clothes.
