At the end of the trail, there is a lighthouse standing on a protruding land, with a windproof stone wall along the way. Crossing the stone wall reveals a field of rapeseed flowers, blooming brightly every April. The iron steps on the lighthouse make it easy to reach the top, where you can admire the beautiful coastal scenery from the railing. On the wide grassy coastal cliff stands a rock called Xianshi. This is Sheji Cape, formerly known as Sheji, which means prominent terrain in the Jeju Island dialect. This is a corner of the eastern coast of Jeju Island, with a preserved stone structure watchtower on a gentle slope, about 4 meters high and 9 meters long. Sheji Cape became famous because of the TV drama "Locheng Life and Death Love", and now it has attracted more fans because of "The Man Who Became King for the Sake of Love". At Sheji Cape, there is also the earliest TV drama museum in Korea called "All in House". On the way to the lighthouse, the windproof stone wall and the rapeseed field form a beautiful scenery, which can be refreshing.
