Can you capture the wind in your lens? You surely can at Hill of the Wind!

A windmill is surrounded by waves of weeds at Hill of the Wind, with visitors trying to capture the invisible yet tangible natural force that is swaying through their legs.

Hill of the Wind was chosen as one of the 100 outrageously beautiful spots in Korea. The epic scenery was recognized by numerous TV dramas and entertainment shows, for many of them were filmed there.  

At the entrance that leads to the hill is a photo of the hill's natural landscape; what lies behind that is a more awe-arousing view. 

The fishing village seen below creates an illusion that you are in the Mediterranean Sea. The orange roofs and emerald-green ocean are only a few of the amusing features.

Walk pass the hill and up the wooden staircase hiking trail, and soon you will realize why it is Hill of the Wind. Violent gusts of wind will sweep you off your feet. 

Cameras mounted on tripods will rarely play their roles as the strong currents of wind knock them down to the ground. Tourists posing for the camera are more hectic trying to neaten their hair and wardrobe.

Natural circumstances will certainly not ruin the chance to take a photo, though. The fairy tale-like windmill, flowy grass, cloudless sky and shimmery blue ocean is a scene you'd want to capture for life.

The soft whispers of the waves and cool breeze from the sea add enthusiasm to your journey up the hill.  
A short rest along the way; sit down on a bench nearby and look afar: the South Sea and tiny islets scattered before you. You will find yourself wowing with overwhelmingness.

Hill of the Wind is surrounded by famous tourist attractions like Shinseondae across from the hill and Haegeumgang, a renowned rock-island. 

Hakdong Pebble Beach, one of Geoje's eight main tourist attractions, is a summer vacation venue you are bound to enjoy.
