Birthplace of the Tamna Myth | Samseonghyeol (Three Clan Caves) inšŸ™

šŸ™Jeju doesn’t have many ancient sites, but Samseonghyeol is definitely one of its most important historical relics. According to legend, this is where the three gods—Go Euna, Yang Euna, and Bu Euna—were born. Later, these three gods founded the Tamna Kingdom, which is why Jeju was once called ā€œTamnaā€ (a name deeply tied to the island’s roots). 300-Word Guide to Samseonghyeol (with English Translation)🤮 šŸ“œ History & Significance Samseonghyeol isn’t just a group of caves—it’s the ā€œcradle of Jeju’s identity.ā€ The myth says the three gods emerged from these caves with sacred animals (a horse, a cow, and a pig) and later married three princesses from the mainland, laying the foundation for Jeju’s earliest civilization. Today, the site has stone markers, a small shrine, and lush pine trees, creating a quiet, reverent atmosphere perfect for learning about Jeju’s ancient past 🌳. šŸ“ Location & Transport Address: 12 Samseonghyeol-gil, Jeju-si, Jeju-do (search on Naver Map for precise navigation).🄓 How to get there: Take Bus 100, 200, or 201 from downtown Jeju City to ā€œSamseonghyeol Stationā€ ), then a 5-minute walk. Buses run every 15-20 minutes, so it’s easy to reach without a car 🚌. ā° Visiting Hours & Tickets Hours: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM (closed on Mondays; last entry at 5:30 PM).
