Previously mentioned, Jeju is full of igneous rocks. Interestingly, my uncle's brother (not immediate family) is one of three that carves these Rock Grandpas (called Dolharbang) and created a museum to feature all the different Rocking Grandpas. You'll find these rocks often in front of buildings and it was said that these Grandpas only around in Jeju protects people from harm.
Then we went into ManJang Cave, which is about 7.5km long. It is sponsored by UNESCO and quite amazing (and HUGE) and cold. A great place to go in a hot summer day. Unfortunately, there is very minimal lighting and without a tripod, the photos were very difficult to take.


The largest Grandpa carved to date. You can see his face and hands, rest is buried underground. In other words, not yet made.




The cave is big. Most of the walk there and back (only about 30 mins, the rest of the cave isn't walkable) is focused on the ground because it's rocky but every once in awhile if you look up, it's quite amazing how big this lava tube was.


A big rock connected top and bottom is recreated up on the ground and made into a waterfall.
