Independence Rock is located in Qianhai of Sanmeifeng Park. It is a beautiful scene created by a large amount of volcanic lava under the action of indescribable great natural forces during the volcanic eruption about 1.5 million years ago. Independent Rock is about 20 meters high and is also known as General Rock or Guishipo. Beautiful islands such as Tiger Island and Bird Island are scattered around Independence Rock, and sea rocks with strange shapes such as Train Rock are scattered. The sunset view of Tiger Island from Independence Rock is especially popular with tourists. In addition, in 2003, the popular Korean drama "Dae Jang Geum" was also filmed in Ideokam, and the scene where Jang Geum and Han Shanggong were exiled was filmed as the background. From Seogwipo City, you can reach the entrance of Independence Rock by car. There is a Songguang Sea Cafe at the entrance, which provides some coffee and some light meals. Going down the stairs, you can see that there are many stones used by local people to make wishes. It is said that the higher the pile, the more wishes will come true, and when you pile up your own wishes, you can't knock down other people's wishing stones, if you are interested you can try it. Going down, you can see a guide map, which indicates the location of the independent rock and the viewing platform, you can pay attention to it. Standing on the viewing platform of the independent rock, you can face the sea, overlooking the beautiful scenery in the distance and the scattered boats on the sea. At the same time, it is also an ideal location to photograph the entire Independence Rock. From a distance, it looks like a majestic general standing by the sea. There is a large still photo of Dae Jang Geum not far from the observation deck. Next to it is a humanoid standing sign of Dae Jang Geum. The face is hollowed out. Remember.

The lonely rock sitting at the South of Jeju Island, formed 1.5million years ago.
So we woke up early and went to Oedolgae a famous tourist spot to see this stack. It is only 150m from the main road and parking, the water is very clear and green and blue and the rock is quite magnificent. You can't really go and swim though.
Go down from the JW Marriott Hotel, go down to the plank road after the colored stone sculpture, turn left and walk along the plank road, 10-15 minutes to the independent rock. The special landform formed by lava produced by the volcano during the eruption 1.5 million years ago, and the 20-meter-high column stands independently on the sea near the coast, which is very special, no wonder it is called independent rock. I heard that it was decorated as a general before the war to scare off the enemy, so it also has a name called General Stone. The sea is blue and the scenery is very good when the weather is good. The Korean TV drama "Dachang Jin" used to be filmed here. There is a large poster board painting the drama of Dachang Jin, just on the edge of the plank road. Going for the Dragon Boat Festival, walking along the beach is very hot and sun-drenched. Attractions are free and worth seeing.
A small walk in coastal park to witness the lonely rock standing in water, it has history associated with war when Koreans dressed this rock as gigantic warrior to bluff the enemy and trick them into inferiority.
The second stop to Jizhou Island in February 17 was Independent Rock. Not far from the hotel, the morning Independent Rock looks different from the previous one. Independent Rock is actually a stone, also known as General Rock, which is a free attraction. Many tourists from home and abroad, as well as local Koreans, will go there to play. Independent Rock leans against the Pacific Ocean. In the morning, there is an endless sea, and in the evening, there is a sunset setting to the west. If we go to Jeju Island again, we will go there again.
