Jeju Island: Volcano Views, Fresh Air & Island Magic 🌊✨

#koreatrip 🎯 Highlights • Hike Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak) for a fiery morning sky 🌅 • Wander the lava tubes of Manjanggul Cave — cool, eerie, unforgettable 🕳️ • Snack your way through Dongmun Market: hallabong juice, black pork, peanut ice cream 🍊🔥 • Chase coastal breezes along Hamdeok Beach — turquoise even on cloudy days 💙 🗺️ Getting There Fly into Jeju Airport (CJU) — tons of daily flights from Seoul & Busan ✈️. Buses reach most sights easily, but renting a car gives you the freedom to hop between beaches, cliffs, and cafés at your own pace 🚗🌺. 💸 Budget Tips • Visit Jeju’s public beaches — all free and naturally gorgeous 🏖️ • Grab local meals at non-touristy mom-and-pop spots (look for “식당”) for big portions at low prices 🍲 • If renting a car, book early — prices jump in peak seasons 🔑 🧭 Seasonal / Theme Focus: Nature Island Escape • Spring brings yellow canola fields everywhere 🌼 • Summer = beach days + cold tangerine slushies ❄️🍊 • Autumn offers perfect hiking weather for Hallasan 🍂 • Winter is windy but peaceful — great for dramatic coastal walks 🌬️ ❤️ Why This Trip Is Special Jeju feels like a world of its own — volcano peaks, emerald water, quirky cafés, and landscapes that shift every few kilometers. It’s the perfect nature-filled getaway where every corner feels fresh, breezy, and a little bit magical ❤️🌴🌊✨

Jeju Island Itinerary Recommendation | World-Class Natural Wonders + Local Food Guide Jeju Island, known as the "green heart" of Korea, is renowned for its natural beauty, unique history and culture, and delicious cuisine! This itinerary includes Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak), Hallasan Mountain, Udo Island, Seongeup Folk Village, O'sulloc Seol Green Tea Museum, Woljeong-ri Beach, and the popular food hub Dongmun Market. Jeju's black pork and seafood are truly unforgettable, and the local citrus desserts make it a foodie's paradise. Especially on a rainy day, sitting at the guesthouse table with a bowl of hot seaweed soup and a few side dishes, surrounded by green trees and natural scenery outside the window, is incredibly soothing. Highlights and Itinerary Recommendations: 1. Seongsan Ilchulbong (성산일출봉) A must-see attraction in Jeju Island! A World Natural Heritage site, the summit offers panoramic views of Udo Island and the magnificent seascape, perfect for a morning hike. The sunrise from the summit is breathtaking, attracting numerous photography enthusiasts every year. 🌄 Address: 284-12, Ilchulbong-ro, Seongsan-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Opening Hours: 07:00-19:00 (Hours may be extended during peak season) 2. Hallasan Mountain (한라산) Korea's highest peak, a paradise for hiking enthusiasts. The scenery is completely different in spring, summer, autumn, and winter, with waterfalls, forests, and unique rock formations along the way. For an easy hike, choose a shorter route (such as Seongpanak-ro), while experienced hikers can challenge themselves to reach the summit. Entrance: Hallasan National Park, Jeju-si Note that opening hours vary depending on the season and weather; it is recommended to check in advance. 3. Udo Island (우도) A super relaxing island day trip option. Rent an electric bicycle to cycle around the island, taking photos of the blue sky and white sand. Don't miss the Udo peanut soft serve, a popular local snack. Udo Pier Address: Udo Passenger Terminal, Goseong-dong, Jeju City 4. Seongeup Folk Village If you want to travel back to Jeju's old days, Seongeup Folk Village is definitely worth a visit. You can learn about Jeju Island's unique residential architecture and lifestyle, as well as learn about the culture of Haenyeo (female divers). Address: 34-1 Seongeup-ri, Jeju City Opening Hours: 09:00-17:00 5. O’sulloc Seol Green Tea Museum A must-visit for tea lovers! A huge tea garden + museum, where you can sample various Jeju tea drinks and citrus cakes. Tea ice cream and matcha cake are super popular! Address: 15 Seol Green Tea Road, Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo-si, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Opening Hours: 09:00-18:00 6. Woljeong-ri Beach (월정리해수욕장) Boasting coral-colored sand and a dreamy cafe, it's a must-visit for artsy types. The sea breeze is incredibly refreshing, perfect for relaxing with coffee, enjoying the sea breeze, and taking photos. Address: Woljeong-ri, Gujae-eup, Jeju-si 7. Dongmun Market (동문시장) A hub for local Jeju Island cuisine! Black pork BBQ, abalone and octopus seafood hot pot, sashimi, and haenyeo (female divers) kimbap – a must-visit for those wanting to indulge in a culinary adventure. Fried chicken, peanut ice cream, and citrus desserts are also must-try! It's recommended to set aside time for dinner and leisurely explore the entire street. Address: Underground shopping street, Samdo 2-dong, Jeju-si Opening Hours: 08:00-21:00 Food Guide + Tips: - Highly recommend the "Jeju Black Pork Street" for its many BBQ restaurants; the meat is incredibly tender! - For seafood hot pot, try Samseonghyeol Restaurant; the broth is rich and the abalone is fresh. - For sashimi, we recommend "Jeju Sashimi Specialty Shop" in Dongmun Market. - When eating haenyeo (female divers) seaweed rice rolls, please be careful not to leave them out for too long; they're best eaten fresh. - Buy Udo peanut soft serve ice cream directly from Udo convenience stores; it's incredibly fragrant and delicious. Transportation Suggestions: Jeju Island's attractions are spread out, so driving or taking a taxi is recommended. Many buses also go to the city center. If you don't plan to drive, use Dongmun Market as a base; it's conveniently located near nearby attractions. The weather is changeable; on rainy days, consider indoor attractions like the O'sulloc Green Tea Museum. Travel Tips: On rainy days in Jeju, warm green soups (like seaweed soup) plus local specialties are very comforting. For hiking or beach trips, be sure to bring a windbreaker and sunscreen, as there's a large temperature difference between day and night. If Udo Island and Hallasan Mountain are closed or the weather is bad, we suggest adjusting your itinerary. #JejuIslandGuide #WorldNaturalHeritage #SeafoodFood #TravelTips #LocalLife
