Songdang-ri, the Hometown of Gods, a Mid-mountain Village for Making Wishes

Every village in Jeju has its own shrine. Among them, the Bonhyangdang is the most important shrine, protecting the village's land and its residents. Located in the eastern part of Jeju, Songdang-ri is called the hometown of Jeju's gods. This is because it is home to the Bonhyangdang that enshrines Baekjutto (Geum Baekju), the mother of the gods who protect various villages across Jeju. For this reason, the Songdang-ri Bonhyangdang is known to be extremely sacred and possesses powerful spiritual energy.
