This is Seongsan
Description
Book Introduction
Do you truly love Jeju Island, the island of Tamna?
"Then, read 'This is Seongsan' and rediscover Seongsan, the land of island brightness, a story of time (明) created by the island's sun (日) and moon (月)! If you truly want to know 'how to love Jeju (濟州),' read this book!"
The author, who strongly recommends it, explains 'Seongsan (城山)' like this:
“Does the island embrace the mountain, or does the mountain embrace the island? Since the island embraces the mountain, Seongsan is not a mountain to be hiked, but an island to be hiked.
When you go hiking, you meet mountains, and when you go island hiking, you meet islands.
Seongsan is an island that requires a one-night, two-day trip.
Until 1930, Seongsan was an island separated from the main island of Jeju by the sea.”

Publisher's Review
[Author's Note]
“I guess the book is coming to an end now.
I became a 'World Natural Heritage Guide' in 2022, and my first job in September of that year was at 'Seongsan Ilchulbong'.
Seongsan is a 'land of island light' where you can see the sun and moon during a one-night, two-day trip.
Until now, Jeju Island has been a place where people come to Seongsan, park their cars in the parking lot, climb Seongsan, and just skim the surface of the area by staying there for about an hour.
Seongsan is not an island for tourism, but rather an island that requires a one-night, two-day trip.
Only by encountering the myths and tales of Seongsan and its painful history and culture can one see its deep beauty.
In addition, the paradigm of Jeju tourism must change.
With that in mind, I wrote the article, “This is Seongsan.”
When the book is published, I plan to introduce it to the governor, superintendent of education, Jeju Provincial Council Culture and Tourism Committee Chairman, Seongsan-eup Provincial Council Member, World Natural Heritage Headquarters Director, Seongsan-eup Mayor, and Seongsan-ri Village Chief.
I want to let these people know first so that they can properly see and show Jeju and Seongsan.
Jeju's economy will only thrive if Jeju's tourism industry develops.
Seongsan must lead Jeju's tourism industry."
