Why it matters now

The site is included in the 2026 Jeju Heritage itinerary. A commemorative ceremony was announced for 3 October 2026; that past one-day ceremony must not be presented as an available activity.

Why go

See traces of a movement that preceded Korea's 1919 March First Movement. Visiting the heritage site is not the same as completing the longer Hallasan Dulle-gil hike.
