당오름의 분화구와 한라산

뒤로 보이는 오름은 금오름(검은오름, 금악오름)

서양금혼초라 불리는 개민들레는 외래종 꽃입니다.
최근 오름을 다니면서 여기 당오름 처럼 개민들레가 화려하게 군락을 이룬데는 본적이 없는데요, 나름대로 사진을 올려 보겠습니다^^

개민들레

바로 뒤에 정물오름, 멀리 보이는 금오름(검은오름, 금악오름)

  Legend says that this mountain was the peak of MT. HALLA before it was broken off and thrown to this spot. This legend explains how WHITE DEER LAKE(the crater of MT. HALLA) was formed. Lo-395 meter high mountain of steep and jagged cliff sides is a small lava grotto. This grotto is known as SANBANG TEMPLE GROTTO and is counted as one of the TEN GRAND VIEWS OF JEJU.
  Here at SANBANG GROTTO SHRINE is a statue of the Buddha to which, from ancient times, people have come to spiritually cleanse themselves and pay respect to Buddha. Inside the grotto is a small spring of crystal clear water issuing from the rocks. It is claimed that these waters are the tears of a heavenly being named SAN BANG DOK who is said to have accepted all the misery and sufferings of the Human World.
  Among the creviced cliffs are found a variety of rare plants generally associated with such exposed conditions. The area is designated as Natural Monument #182-5.
  In the nearby village of TAEJONG are located the only known works (two in number) of the Confucian scholar and caligrapher KIM CHONG HUI who was exiled to Jeju during the Chosun Dynasty for 9 years.
  In front of the mountain is a ridge called the DRAGON\'S HEAD on which stands the memoreial to HENDRICK HAMEL, the first westerner to write and introduce Korea to the west. In the distance may be seen KAP\'A ISLAND (closest) and MARA ISLAND (the most southern land mass of the Republic).
