Nearby
Oedolgae Sea Stack
A rock pillar about twenty metres high standing alone off the Seogwipo shore, left behind when the softer rock around it wore away; pines grow on top of it. Jeju Olle Trail Course 7 begins here and continues along the coast, so it works naturally as the first or last stop of a walking day rather than as somewhere to drive to and leave. Two stories attach to it: one in which General Choe Yeong of late Goryeo dressed the rock as a commander to frighten off an enemy, and one about an old woman who turned to stone waiting for her husband to come back from the sea.
Jeongbang Waterfall
Buy a ticket at the entrance and walk down about five minutes of pine-lined steps — there is no way to see the fall from the top. Sonammeori, on the cliff above it, is a Jeju April 3 site where detainees were summarily executed; the setting is a beauty spot and a killing ground at once.
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.
Gwaneumsa Temple
A temple at 650 metres on Hallasan's northern slope. The long narrow path to its entrance is the most photographed thing about it.
Stories about this place
- Half a day on Seogwipo's south shore — the route with no start time
Oedolgae, Saeyeongyo Bridge and Jeongbang Waterfall sit along Seogwipo's south coast within 2.5 km of each other as the crow flies. Only one of the three publishes an opening time, and the bridge tells you to telephone for the one hour that matters — when its lights come on. So this route has no start time. What sets the order is distance, not the clock.

Three Extraordinary Attorney Woo locations on Jeju, set out by scene, by what is there now, and by where on the island they sit. The Korea Tourism Organization publishes them as one course of about 76.7 km — north coast to mountain to south coast.
