Hallim Park

한림공원

A private theme park immediately south of Hyeopjae Beach. The publisher describes nine themed sections across a hundred thousand pyeong; besides the palm avenue and the gardens, lava tubes including Hyeopjaegul and Ssangyonggul lie inside it. What is worth noticing on this record is that the operator states its times only as when ticketing opens and when it closes, and publishes no closing time for the park at all.

Language

A path through Hallim Park's garden, lined with volcanic rock and stone sculptures.

Place information

Korean name: 한림공원
Address: 300 Hallim-ro, Hallim-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju
Opening hours: Feb–May, Sep–Oct 09:00 (last entry 17:00) Jun–Aug 09:00 (last entry 17:30) Jan, Nov–Dec 09:00 (last entry 16:30)
Hours notes: The publisher gives these times as when ticketing opens and when it closes. They are the window in which a ticket can be bought rather than the park's own opening and closing, and no closing time is stated anywhere. The publisher splits the year into four bands; the deadlines for February-May and September-October are the same, so those are one row here. There is no admission price on this record: the publisher gives no amount, and the operator's own site renders its fee only inside a booking widget, so it is not published in any form this repository can read. That is not the same statement as the operator not publishing a fee, so no pricePolicy is asserted.
Time needed: 2 hours

Nearby

Hyeopjae Beach

A beach in Hallim-eup on Jeju's west side, on Jeju Olle Trail Course 14. At low tide a long stretch of pale sand with crushed shell in it is exposed, the slope is gentle and the water shallow, and it runs into Geumneung Beach next door, which is why the two are usually called the twin beaches. Biyangdo sits offshore. The publisher lists the site as open at all times, but the bathing season — when it is staffed and supervised — covers only part of the summer, and that distinction is what decides when to come.

Gwakji Gwamul Beach

The designated season is the whole planning problem: outside it the shore is open but unstaffed, and inside it Gwakji is one of the beaches that closes at 19:00 with no evening extension. It is also the far end of the Handam Coastal Trail, so it is rarely worth driving to on its own.

Osulloc Tea Museum

The museum itself is free and takes under an hour; the tea fields around it are the reason most people stay longer. It sits in Andeok, in Jeju's south-west — a long way from Seogwipo city and from Jeongbang, so plan it with the west, not with the south coast.

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.
