"Meet the precious and beautiful treasures of Jeju Island, from Gosan Harbor on the western side to Jeoji Oreum observatory.
You can see the wind power generators on the shore of Sinchang, Haenyeo, and the cuttlefish of Gosan Harbor, the Neolithic site beneath Dangsang Peak, Jeju ponies, a part of Jeju Island's Natural Heritage, the chair park in Ahopgut village, and rapeseed and radish flowers that bloom in spring besides the white tangerine blossoms in the orchards.
"To capture the real Jeju Island where people live, not the tourist areas, I climbed up a 20-meter-tall crane and took one step after another with my whole heart."
