There are many legends about the origin of Jeju. The most famous legend is the Samsung legend. Long time ago in Jeju, there weren’t any people. Suddenly under the land, 3 demi-gods (Yang ella, Bu ella, Ko ella) emerged with a big light. So there became 3 holes on the land. They were healthy and smart and so they found Tamra country. One day at Yeonhonpo, they found a big wooden box which had 3 Bucklang nation princesses, the vassal from Byeokrangguk, many treasures and some livestock. The vassal told them "A few days ago, the king of Bucklang nation saw a big light and he prognosticated that in Jeju, great heroes were born. So please accept these and make a great nation with three princesses." So Yang ella, Bu ella and Ko ella got married to the three princess, and their nations flourished.
Yeonghonpo is a rocky coast and you will be able to find a memorial stone with three Chinese letters saying “Yeon hon po”. You can appreciate the wide sea and because this place is not a beach, it’s very wide and calm.
