1. Hallasan National Park

An UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Site, the Hallasan National Park is loaded with walking trails and is home to South Korea’s highest mountain named the Shield Volcano Hallasan. You’ll find about 1800 different kinds of plants and a number of alpine animals along the way up. The park is a unique place for nature lovers. Settled right in the heart of Jeju island, this park with high density woods and blooming hillsides is concidered as a treat to be at. Transportation: start with chosing a right trail for you. There many different ways up to the mountain, but only one of them will bring you to the summit. To get to the entrance you’d probably need to take one of the public busses or rent a car. Both options are convenient. Equipment: You’d definitely need to be prepared for a long and tiring walk. All the trails are devided into segments, based on their difficulty. Some of the parts of the trail would be paved, some wouldn’t be equipped at all. You’d be grateful for those parts where you’d be able to walk and step on the wooden bridges and paths. But except those short and the easiest parts of the way, you’d need to climb on the steep and narrow rocks, hop along cobblestones and boulders. Timing: don’t rush, remember when you’re on the top, that was only a half of your journey. There is the same long way down the mountain when you’re on the summit. Tips: be prepared for considerable change of the temperature and other weather conditions. We started in a pleasant sunny day and finished when it was drizzling and the fog was literally embracing us. Add up some wind and decreased temperature and you’re almost in our shoes out there. You’d definetely need to wear tracking boots or something alike, protecting and supporting your feet well. Otherwise you risk hurting your ankles and knees. (as us, cause we were not prepared) You’d also want to change your clothes after 6-7 hours tracking up and down this mountain. Believe me you’ll be sweating af.

You get an amazing view when you go up the stairs. the view also changes a lot, from pine trees to sand beach, volcanic rock beach, and the view of Halla mountain (the highest mountain in South Korea). Everywhere was very clean and the path was clear and guide signs were easy to find. I also really enjoyed the ocean view. It's perfect if you go there on a clear day.

On a family trip, my fiance and I had one day to ourselves and we ended up here for a couple hours. We love being near water, so this was an easy choice for us. The natural pools were so clear and beautiful, even though it was November and cold we went into the water and enjoyed freezing our butts off from the water and wind. Still such a fun and unique experience we'll never forget. Because we came in November there were only a handful of people that came and went. We definitely recommend checking this place out for a hour or so. I imagine it can get pretty busy during the summer time but youd get to enjoy the water much more. Even in the cold weather it's worth just checking out if you're around the area.

Innisfree cafe has lovely food. There is craft work in the cafe where you can make your own soap as a gift, too. The plantation was amazing.

I enjoyed this place even more than Jusangeolli, maybe because there were less people, or maybe because the view was just so serene. It was a nice walk through some trees before getting to the viewing spot. We went in the afternoon so the sun was just perfectly positioned. I got some nice photos of this place, especially including the trees on top of the cliff to the right of the rock. You can't miss seeing this place, even for just a few minutes.

this is the place to go for food and shopping when at Seogwipo. The market is pretty huge to walk, see and experience the everyday routines of those worked there as well as the regular stream of tourists that makes the place crowded and noisy. if you stay around Seogwipo, chances is you will be there at least once or every evening for did or to pass time. take time to go around the entire interior with multiple lanes with as well as the outside shops. You might just find interesting things to see and get something you like.
