Bangseonmun Natural Arch, Jeju

Bangseonmun, meaning "the gate into the abode of the immortals" or "the gateway leading up to the sacred mountain where immortals dwell, namely Hallasan Mountain," is a scenic spot known as the site of Yeonggu Chunhwa, "spring blossoms at Yeonggu," one of the Twelve Scenic Sights of Yeongju, an old name for Jeju Island. Its huge, unusually shaped rocks, together with the surrounding vegetation and waterways, form a well-balanced landscape that poets and literati have long delighted in visiting; the cliff-carved inscriptions they left behind still survive in many places today, testifying to its standing as a historic and culturally significant site.
