traditional tea culture. The “o” in “o’sulloc”, means
to appreciate and enjoy, and it also stands for the

museum, which first opened in September 2001, is widely
known in Korea. The entire building takes the shape

Situated to the north of Jeju City, Yongduam
was created by strong winds and waves over thousands
of years. However, there are plenty of other stories
of how it came to be. One legend has it that a dragon
stealing precious jade from Mt. Halla was shot down
by an arrow from the mountain deity. When he fell down
on Yongduam, his body immediately sank into the ocean
and his head rapidly froze looking at the sky. |
