Jasujeong Cave - Violet Quartz Cave ou Ametista Cave

Olá pessoal, 

Achei este texto na internet, explicando um pouco sobre o lugar que fomos visitar. É bem bacana ver como eles aproveitam os espaços para virar uma atração de  turismo e de lazer. Foi um dia bem agradável e tranquilo. Mas, para fazer o passeio, tivemos que dormir em Ulsan, o que também foi muito agradável, pois o lugar é super agitado. Amei.

Jasujeong Cave, 2.5 kilometers long and measuring about 5,000 pyeong (1 pyeong= 3.3 sq. meters), has two stories connected with each other. The temperature inside this cave throughout the year remains relatively constant, making it relatively ccool during the summer providing warm shelter during the winter. Jasujeong Cave has a long history as a jewelry mine, evident in a crystal necklace from the Shilla period excavated in Kyongju Geumryongchong and on exhibit in the Kyongju National Museum.

Jasu009During the Japanese colonization (1910-45), exploitative mining was practiced illegally. And Independence, local mountain owners continued to mine crystals in primitive ways. However, the cave was nominated as one of Korea's representative jewels in 1981. The following year Jeil Mining Industry was established for active and effective mining. Crystals produced from Jasujeong Cave have been recognized as top quality by the Gem International Association (G.I.A).

Jasu010GIA, the world's most prestigious gem research and educational institute in the U.S., recognizes amethyst produced in Eonyang, as the world's best quality. Onyang amethyst has been declared the best due to the mysterious violet-purplish color, resembling a combination of ruby red and saphire blue, and its flawless crystals.

Jasu017Many nearby galleries and exhibit halls spotlight the local history and culture. The National Instrument Gallery, Jasujeong Exhibition Hall, and Egypt Gallery are utilized as educational facilities. In the Dokdo Gallery, tourists can see a miniature of Dokdo Island in 1:46 in scale. Jasujeong Jungdong shows the mysterious and natural state Jasujeong cave. Other attractions include Sculpture Hall and Performance Hall.

Jasu001The cave is located 3 km southeast of Eonyang, near the entrance to Jakcheon Pavilion. The local resort area runs numerous types of cave tours. It also has various resort and leisure facilities.

























Além  do passeio, você pode assistir um show. A atração é organizada por uma família que trabalha lá, fazendo doce. Eles tocam uma música enquanto faz o doce e, depois, tem o show. É engraçado. As crianças adoram.












Au revoir!
