The research examines the construction and transformation of Youngju-Sipkyoung, a series of symbolic images that has been used in Jeju Tourism. Youngju-Sipkyoung is well-known through ｢Youngju-Sipkyoungsi｣, work of maegye Lee Han-Woo, Confucian scholar, native of Jeju island. The ten symbolic scenery of Jeju, representing nature and culture of the island, had played a significant role in modern tourism of Jeju for some time especially in the late 20^th century. The purpose of study is as follows. First, the paper examines the way Youngju-Sipkyoung, originated from 󰡔Tamra-Sipkyoungdo󰡕 produced in the early 18^th century, had evolved into ‘a new way of seeing’ the culture and nature of Jeju island of Confucian scholars in 19^th century. Second, the paper also examines how the construction of modern, developmental, scientific, aesthetic vision of Jeju island in the early 20^th century had significantly undermined the cultural importance of Youngju-Sipkyoung.
