Information Introduction Located the Northeastern part of Jeju Island, the Darangshi Oreum is a parasitic volcano that stands about 380 meters above sea level
From Darangshi Oreum, visitors can overlook tourist attractions such as Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak), Udo Island, Hallasan Mountain, coastlines, and various parasitic cones
The mountain has an oval shape from south to north with a steep incline
The top has a large, deep funnel-shaped crater that still preserves its original shape unlike craters in cones
The name Darangshi is derived from the fact that the mountain looks like a moon ('Da' meaning 'Moon' and 'Shi' meaning 'Mountain')
Trees are scattered here and there at the top, and the outskirts of the mountain are decorated with cedar trees
Meadow plants, such as Aster yomena, populate most of the mountain
A gentle hill to the right of Darangshi Oreum is called Akkun Darangshi Oreum (also called Sowol Nangak)
Meaning 'small,' 'Akkun' is both old Korean and Jeju dialect
Darangshi Oreum hosts Wollang Peak Sunrise Festival every year allowing visitors to see the spectacular full moon from the crater
There are nice wooden stairs in place for easy ascent, and the mountain is also a popular site for paragliders
