A museum and ecological park that shows the whole body and systematic stone culture of Jeju Island, the hometown of stones. It is so large that all the stone statues of Jeju Island are displayed, and the entire park is built under the theme of Seolmundae Halmang and 500 General, the birth myth of Jeju Island, so it is a perfect place to feel the quiet atmosphere of Jeju mountains. Jeju Island has developed and distributed "smart education applications" for free so that visitors to Jeju Stone Park can enjoy it more.
Jeju Stone Park is a museum and park that focuses on how stone has culturally been used in Jeju Province, South Korea. It is located in Jocheon, Jeju City, and first opened to the public on June 3, 2006. It was continually constructed until it was completed in February 2021.

불탑사
This pagoda was damaged during the Korean War, commonly called the 6.25 War in Korea. The original pagoda was at Wondang Temple, which is said to have been founded by King Choongryeol during the Goryeo Dynasty. The present structure was reconstructed in the 1950s. The angle on the baseline of every corner of the Pagoda looks dynamic due to its turning shape.

Manjanggul Cave is a famous lava tube and a UNESCO-listed world natural heritage site. There are numerous lava caves all over the world, but it is said that it is difficult to find a place like Manjanggul Cave that has well-preserved shape and topography even though it is hundreds of thousands of years old. The interior, which looks like an underground palace, has a magnificent and profound atmosphere, especially stone turtles like elaborate sculptures, which are popular with tourists because they look like Jeju Island. As such, the inside of the cave is accompanied by lava stalactites on the ceiling and lava wings on the wall, creating the mystery of the underground world. The 7.6-meter-high lava stone pillar at the end of the open section is the largest in the world. The closed section is not visible to tourists, but it is known that bats, landfills, crayfish worms, farm-footed spiders, and little oyster spiders live there. Manjanggul Cave is protected as a natural monument along with nearby Gimnyeong Cave.

A beautiful forest of old-growth nutmeg trees, accessed by flat, gravel walking paths. In the center of the forest stands a Japanese Torreya tree that is more than 800 years old, the oldest tree on Jeju. There are two connected walking paths: a short trail takes about 30 minutes and the longer loop perhaps double that.
