The legend of three founders
Samseonghyeol (삼성혈, 三姓穴) is associated with the story of three ancestors—Go Eul-na, Yang Eul-na and Bu Eul-na—emerging from the earth and becoming the founders of Tamna, the historical name of Jeju. It is a traditional founding legend, not an independently verified historical account.
A walk inside Jeju's memory
Visit Jeju describes a relatively compact site with gently sloping paths. The wooded grounds and three symbolic holes make a quiet counterpoint to beach and volcanic-landscape itineraries. A visit helps explain how mythology remains part of the island's identity.
Before you visit
The official tourism listing gives daily hours of 09:00–18:00, with ticket sales ending at 17:30. It notes a 10:00 opening on January 1, Lunar New Year and Chuseok. Listed standard prices are KRW 4,000 for adults, KRW 2,500 for teens and KRW 1,500 for children. Check current discounts and changes, and do not assume guided interpretation is always immediately available.
The address is 22 Samseong-ro, Jeju-si. It is an accessible way to add local history to a Jeju City itinerary without inventing a long transfer or a guaranteed tour time.
