Like a dragon plunging into the sea, the unique natural landscape - Jeju Island's Dragon Head Rock.

Yongdusan, located by the sea in Longtandong in the center of Jeju City, is a rock formed by the cooling of lava that erupted 2 million years ago. It is named Yongdusan because one end of the rock resembles a dragon's head. It is a symbol of Jeju tourism, the starting point of the coastal road, and also the most prominent rock on the west coast of Jeju Island. About 200 meters east of Yongdusan is a dragon pool, which is said to be a place where dragons play, hence its name. The pool, also known as Longyuan, has clear water that is visible to the bottom. The best place to view Longtou Rock is on the west side of Longtou Rock, about 100 meters away from it. The scenery is even more spectacular when the waves are big, as if a giant dragon is roaring and jumping out of the sea. In the evening, the silhouette of Longtou Rock against the backdrop of the setting sun is exceptionally beautiful, as if presenting a vivid picture of a dragon ascending to the sky. Longtouyan Scenic Area is very small, no tickets are required, it is a must-visit attraction for group tourists, and it is also one of the main destinations for tourists to take "I was here" photos. According to locals, this is a popular spot for Korean couples to come and fall in love in the summer, and many Korean dramas also feature scenes here.
