Nari Basin
나리분지
The only flat plain on Ulleungdo, a basin formed when a volcanic crater collapsed. It preserves traditional wooden-roofed houses and serves mountain-vegetable bibimbap.
Nari Basin lies north of Seonginbong Peak. It is a crater plain formed when the land collapsed after volcanic eruptions on Ulleungdo, surrounded by an outer ring of mountains, and it is the island's only large expanse of flat land. Traditional houses with wooden roofs, the tumak (plank-roofed) and neowa (wooden-shingle) styles, remain here and can be visited. The restaurants in the basin are known for mountain-vegetable bibimbap, wild-vegetable pancakes and the island's specialty rice wine. From Cheonbu Port it takes about 15 minutes by bus, and it is also the end point of the descent from Seonginbong.
