U-do was named for its shape, said to resemble either a cow lying down or the head of a cow. Located 3.5 km. northeast of Seongsan-po, it is just 15 minutes by boat (5-4 round trips daily). U-do has a coral sand beach.
The southern part of U-do contains a cave called Gwangdaegoji. When the sun shines through the cave entrance, it is reflected on the ceiling, looking just like a rising moon. This phenomenon is called 'Dalgeurian' ('Day Moon') and is the most magnificent of the 8 beautiful scenes of U-do. Visitors should time their visit appropriately- the best time to see the scene is around noon. [The 8 traditional scenes of U-do]
