Halla Arboretum

A provincial arboretum in Yeon-dong on the Jeju City side of the island, at the foot of Gwangi Oreum beside Route 1100, planted with Jeju natives and subtropical plants. Its outdoor grounds and paths stay open all year. The grounds reach up to the summit of the oreum, which makes this one of the few places a traveller staying in Jeju City without a car can see volcanic ground and island vegetation.

Gate 7 of Jeju Dongmun Market, the market's name and the gate number on the arch above the entrance, with crates of tangerines stacked at a stall in front of it.

Jeju Dongmun Traditional Market

Jeju's largest and oldest market, trading on this block since 1945. Produce, seafood and dried fish fill the daytime aisles, with tangerines and omegi-tteok rice cakes worked in between them. In the evening a separate night market opens by gate 8 and closes when the ingredients run out. There are twelve entrances, so agreeing a gate number is the difference between meeting someone here and not.

Basalt-lined coastal walking path along Jeju Olle Route 15-B

Handam Coastal Trail

The path and Gwakji Gwamul Beach are the two ends of the same walk, which is the fact that decides how to plan them: they are one stop, not two. West-facing, so the sunset end of the day belongs here.

Baengnokdam crater at the snow-covered summit of Hallasan

Hallasan National Park

Choose the trail before planning transport: only Seongpanak (9.6 km) and Gwaneumsa (8.7 km) reach the summit, both need an advance reservation, and both turn walkers back at a mid-mountain control point if they arrive after the cut-off. Every other trail is a half-day walk with no summit at the end of it.
