Why go

Morundae Cliff is one of the Eight Scenic Sites of Hwaam. The tip of the steep cliff is adorned with three specimens of 500-year-old pine trees. Legend has it that gods would perch on the cliff’s top and enjoy the beautiful view. At the foot of the cliff lies a large sheet of rock that can accommodate hundreds of people. ◎ Travel information discovering the charm of Hallyu - Film This location represents the summit of the fictional Homisan Mountain, featuring a 500-year-old dead tree standing at the edge of a cliff. At Molundae, where even clouds are said to stop and rest because of the beautiful scenery, a book-shaped sculpture displays a poem that says, “The end of the world is the beginning of another love.” It brings to mind Hae-jun and Seo-rae finally facing each other on a snowy night.
