정월대보름 들불 축
The Jeongwol Daeboreum Fire Festival originates from the traditional harvesting of the grasses found in the local domestic farm animal pastures, which were annually set in fire each winter by the villagers as a way to exterminate harmful insects. It has been held annually since 1997. It is held during the holiday of Daeboreum (which is the 15th day of the first lunar month of the year, typically February). It gets extremely busy directly after the festival finishes (19:00-20:00), so it's sometimes worth staying around for a beer or a meal for an hour or two until the worst of the traffic has gone.
제주 항파두리 항몽 유적
A special defense unit of the Goryeo kingdom rebelled against the invading Mongolian army in 1270, and eventually retreated to Jeju Island for a last stand. They held off the Mongolian forces here for 2 years before they were all killed at a fortress built here.
A popular white sand beach on Jeju's west coast, known for its shallow, clear cobalt-colored water and stunning views of Biyangdo Island just offshore. The sand's distinctive silvery shimmer comes from crushed seashells mixed in with it, and the beach's gentle slope with no sudden drop-offs makes it a favorite among families with young children and novice swimmers. Shaded evergreen groves border the shoreline, offering space for picnics and camping, while nearby Hallim Park features a subtropical arboretum and lava tube caves worth exploring. The beach is also part of the Jeju Olle Trail Course 14 and is especially popular for sunset views.
한림공원
The park is divided into 16 gardens, including a tropical garden, garden of Washington palms, a garden of foliage plants, and a bonsai gardens with bonsai trees that are over 150 years old. Also has a Folk Village.
신비의 도로
Called the Mysterious Road or the Goblin Road, this is a strange place where if you park your car on a downhill road, the car that has to go down does not go down, but rather steps back toward the uphill. In fact, the side where the uphill road is visible is a downhill road with a slope of about 3 degrees, so it seems to be going up by a simple optical illusion. Due to this phenomenon, Dokkaebi Road has become a tourist attraction due to word of mouth, and various safety facilities are being added (as of Oct 2022) to prevent accidents caused by it, and a tourist park is expected to be created soon.
이호테우 해변
It is close to Jeju Airport, and it is enough distance to ride a bicycle. There are white and red pony lighthouses, the slope of the beach is gentle, and there is a pine forest nearby, so it is a good place to enjoy the scenery and take a walk.
