Seongsan Sunrise peak & The Nanta show
February 18, 2012
After visiting the Seongsan Folk Village , we headed to the Seongsan Sunrise Peak. Seongsan Ilchulbong peak rose from under the sea in a volcanic eruption over 100,000 years ago. It's located on the eastern end of Jeju Island. A UNESCO world heritage site , the peak is famous for many things , including numerous rare plants species , but is best know for the magnificent sight of the sunrising.
Look at those people back there , I have to catch up !
Its a long long long way to walk & climb
Yay! Finally we've made it!
It took us about 30 minutes.
180m all the way up , really took my breath away.
After dinner , we headed for the Nanta show. Nanta show is famous in south korean musical. In english the shows is known as cooking.The musical has a simple back story of three cooks attempting to finish preparing a wedding banquet within a strict time limit while the manager installs his incompetent nephew among the kitchen staff. The unifying element throughout the musical is the use of traditional Korean music, which in this case in performed with improvised instruments, such as cutting boards, water canisters and kitchen knives.
Secretly took a picture before the show start . The performance is almost completely non-verbal. The very few words which are spoken are in English. The whole show is really funny & interesting! At first i thought its gonna be bored , but they blew me away ! The show involves acrobatics , magic tricks, comedy and audience participation.
Enjoyed it!
