(Jeju Travel Mr.Dee) We are harmonized with nature: darangshi concert

* Notice- This article is written by none native English speaker

The weather was perfect today.

 

I had decided to climb up to the top of 'Darangshi' crater with my family.

 

Actually a friend of Facebook recommended that I should go to the musical concert on the crater.

 

It is said that first time for concert on a cater.

 

The crater 'Darangshi' has been chosen to give a concert because it is known as a queen of crater in Jeju island.

 

'Darangshi' literally means a cater holding Moon.

 

 

The union for conservation of Jeju craters hosted to organized this project.

 

The concert on the top of crater? well, it made me looking forward to it.

 

The name of the band giving a concert is 'La fotre' which means 'forest' in french.

 

Jeju island, crater, Darangshi and La fotre...

 

I think they are well harmonized quartet.

 

 

I been up to the top of this crater more than about 50times for five years thanks to my job.

 

But it is first time for me to bring my 5 year-old kid.

 

The kid vigorouly walking on the crater on the picture is my son.

 

I was little bit worried about the steepness of this crater to my kid.

 

However, I knew he could make it.

 

 

Once you hit the road to climb on the cater, a magnificent scenic of panorama is starting spreading before you.

 

The small carter is 'Aggun darangshi' which means a little 'Darangshi' and there are 'Seng-San sunrise peak and Udo' shown beyond the crater.

 

 

This is a top of the crater.

 

Finally we made it. So proud of my son.

 

I knew he could climb very well.

 

I think he has a talent to be a professional climber in the future.

 

I have been taking him many small craters around my town such as 'Gogeunsan' 'Sol-orum' since he was 4, but it is the first time for him to be on this big crater.

 

'Yong-Sil' was the last one he been up on a big mountain.

 

One of my opinion for being a friend with nature is that people should be close to nature since they are young.

 

And Jeju island is the best place for it.

 

I think an education on nature in school in not enough for kinds, especially in Seoul or big cities. Parents' role is crucially important in this part if they want their children to being like nature.

 

When we got to the top of the crater my kid saw people flying on a paragliding and he got a sudden future dream that he will fly on a paragliding when he grow.

 

" Can I try to fly on a paragliding?' my kid asked staring at the people fying

 

"I am sorry, you should be over 30kg if you can fly" one wonman in a group preparing to fly answered.

 

My kid went to be disappointed a lot, almost cry

 

My wife comforted him saying "from now on you should eat a lot then you can fly soon. Ok boy?"

I hope it made him eat a lot.

 

 

 

Another scenic panorama on the crater is a crater itself.

 

The cater is more 100m depth on the hill of 380m.

 

It is a really magnificent crater in Jeju island.

 

When I was here 20 years ago, there were groups of cattle inside of the crater.

 

Actually it could be best shelter for them.

 

Now it became a restrict area for conservation of nature.

 

 

This is a picture of my family.

 

My look is so awkward with sunglasses.

 

 

As time comes to play music lots of people flocked in crowds on the top.

​

The concert would be clumsy without wit of Oh-SeongJong a leader of the band.

 

Because the atmosphere was distracted by exhausted people climbed up and badgering children.

 

However, people went to calm and be realdy for concert.

 

I realized that the people who love nature love music as well.

​

The music 'Moon river" had been resonating on the top of the crater.

 

The band prepared music even for children "a family of 3 bears".

 

The children were suddenly applauding with joy.

 

We seemed the tiredness from climbing had gone away.

​​

The more beautiful thing is that the distance between audience and the band is less than 1m.

 

I never seen this kind of concert.

 

It made us to be a family.

 

The feeling was so awesome.

 

I gave up my seat for people who want to enjoy in close to a band and went back to have a view of Halla Mt and groups of craters.

​

The tango muscis 'Por una Caveza' which reminded me of my favorite movie 'Scent of woman' was resonating from behind.

​

Why don't you enjoy 'Daranshi Concert' next time.

 

I will invite you.
