 Stunning Beauty of Mt. Halla in WinterThe winter beauty of Mt. Halla or Halla Mountain (ùÓÑÙߣ) is definitely a winter wonderland for both locals and foreigners alike.
All the trees and branches are covered pure white snow or snowflakes, leading winter hikers into the winter wonderlands around this holiday season.
The 1,947-meter Halla Mountain is the roof of the semi-tropical Jeju Island, the largest island in South Korea. On top of the volcanic mountain is caldera lake called "Baerokdam (ÛÜÖãÓÁ)," literally "White Deer Pond."
Along with Jiri Mountain, and Diamond Mountain, Halla Mountain is revered by the Korean folks as one of the three Godly Mountains (ß²ãêߣ) on the Korean Peninsula.
Halla Mountain became the national mountain in 1970. It was designated as the natural monument's No. 182 by the government. It was also designated as UNESCO's world's natural heritage in 2007.
