Jeju is a hot tourist spot, booming with unique attractions. Romantic sunrises and sunsets, mild climate and beautiful sandy beaches make Jeju a popular honeymoon destination. Adventurers can hike to Baeknok Lake at the top of Mount Halla, South Korea’s highest peak. Keep an eye out for the “haenyeo,” female divers gathering fresh seafood, and the iconic “grandfather statues” displayed outside of many restaurants.

The beach has beautiful, clear emerald waters (the pictures doesn’t do the place justice as its much better experienced in person), and a really nice cafe by the sea with good pastries. We got there by Bus 101 from CJU airport followed by a short walk. Near the beach there are tons of places to eat, such that you will be spoilt for choice. Easy to hail a taxi there too for those who wants to travel to their next location by cab. Parking lots available too for those who are driving. Highly recommend this place for beach and sea lovers and those who enjoy coffee by the sea.

we went here early morning but already have a lot of visitor. The ferry very convenient, when you in ferry terminal, remember need to fill up a form (like immigration) total 2 sheets and need to keep it because need to check when you return. around 20 mins will be arrive. Udo is very big and beautiful Island, have a lot of local culture and you can spend at least half day to visit. Trips: Although have a lot of restaurants but the price have a little bit higher.

Carpark available. It was a lovely walk in the forest. Wear comfortable shoes and a light jacket. We went during autumn. I have sinus.. but minute we walked into the forest, my nose magically cleared up. The air was fresh and the sounds in the forest was beautiful. Wish i could record it. They have created a path to walk so its easy. No food allowed though. Took about an hour to walk.

There are several trails to various peaks of Hallasan. Travelling with family and limited time, we only hiked one of the shorter trails i.e. Eorimok. The 1.3 km trail begins where the car park is. From the car park, it is only a 300 meter hike uphill and you are at the top (the lower peak). Being December, there is already snow (or frost?) at the peak. Magical... Oh, and we took a public bus from Jeju bus terminal which costs us less than KRW 2,000 per person, and the park entrance is free. You only pay for parking if you drive there

We stayed at Seowipo, near to the seogwipo-si (former) intercity bus terminal and took bus 110 from Jungang Rotary bus stop to Jungmun Tourist Complex. The bus journey about 30 minutes and cost less than 2000won one way. The bus driver could provide change if needed. There was a TV screen at the front of the bus that will flash and announce the current and coming stop in english clearly (Although I did not see Jungmun Tourist Complex on the TV screen, therefore I used GPS to locate instead. You can press the bell to alight. For my other bus trip, the stops were announced correctly and was reliable). We actually stopped that Jungmun Tourist Complex to go the the Teddy bear museum and Cheonjeyeon Falls before proceeding to the beach. Just to note that the bus ride can be a nausea one as the driver usually travel at a high speed as there were many stops they need to embark on. We needed to change bus 702 (opposite the tourist infrmation counter) to Hyeojae beach. It cost 3300 won. The journey on the bus we great as you will pass by paddy field, wind mills and wild flower fields. You will see a beautiful beach 1st ( I think it is Geumneung Beach) but don’t get down, get down at Hyeopjae beach as the view is nicer (about 2 stops away). You can walk down the stretch later (There is a public toilet down the stretch if you need). The weather then (April 26) was 12 to 17 degree Celcius and remember to buy a jacket and windbreaker as it was very windy when we were there. We so blessed that the sky cleared up to reveal one of the most beautiful turquoise beaches I have been. The beach was wide and the colours of the water clear and blue. There are many café where you can buy a hot drink from. Noted that the café only allow you to use the toilet if you buy a drink (the receipt will print the password to get into the toilet). You can always use the public toilet. We decide to walk along the orange and blue ribbon trail (Jeju Olle Route 14) and it was one of the best trail for me. We complete only part of the the trail where we walk through the villages to the fishing port. The route will bring you to a serene path with light house and the wind mills. The the path became rocky nearing the windmills, and we decided to walk out through the rocky back alley of a shellfish place (away from the orange/blue ribbon) and landed at a bus stop. We took bus 702 back to seogwipo. It was a must go beach but only on a clear blue day where the magnificent of the beach will show up.

I would recommend that you read the book “The Island of Sea Women” by Lisa See before visiting the museum. I felt an emotional connection to the museum, the observatory and the grounds around the area, primarily because I had some background knowledge. The museum is well laid out and interesting. Do take the time to watch the video on the main floor before going through the exhibits. If you are there around 10:00 a.m. or 1:00 p.m. you may be able to see the women divers from the observatory on the 3rd floor. Getting there: we were on a cruise ship and took a taxi from the ship terminal in Jeju City. It took about an hour and was a very scenic drive. Our taxi driver gave us an hour to tour the museum and grounds and then dropped us off by the main market area in downtown Jeju City. It was under $100 for four people in a taxi.

Keep in mind, the founder, Paek Uncheol, is quoted "“Visiting the park is intended to be a journey through the mythology of the island, entering through the ear of Seolmundae*, progressing through the body and exiting at the feet. It represents the journey of life and death.” Taking a journey that ends in death, even if it is a metaphoric (mythical, mystical, mind-boggling) death, may not appeal to everyone, but it could be transformative if you're open to it. Allow for hours of contemplating stones, thousands, tens of thousands, of stones, natural, carved, authentic, replicas - millstones, mortars, volcanic bombs, boundary markers, 2000 ceramic jars, fossilized tree roots - locals thought its creator, who collected these stones for forty years, had gone mad. Three courses to follow, each taking one to two hours. *Seolmundae Halmang, the grandmother of Jeju Island.

Is a must visit to this market. Parking spot is very hidden. Lots of street food, souvenirs, tangerines, chocolate, fresh fish availables. Jungang Underground Shopping Center and Chilsungro Shopping Town is also next to this market. (near to entrance 4) Lots of people buying chocolates from the stall located at the intersection between entrance 3 and entrance 7. (probably the biggest stall and cheapest?)
