Seogwipo

Seogwipo is the main tourist resort on Jeju Island. Attractions include a submarine tour and boat trips along the coast. Seogwipo is known for its many waterfalls as the rain tumbles down the slopes of Hallasan. Jeongbang Waterfall cascades 23m directly into the sea; Cheongjiyeon Waterfall is shorter but wider and almost directly in the center of town.

Jungmun

Jungmun is an exclusive beach resort west of Seogwipo with surrounding golf courses. Of interest are the quirky and interesting Teddy Bear Museum and another waterfall - Cheonjeyeon. North of town is the Yeomiji Botanical Gardens. Take a trip east to Jusangjeoli where columns of basalt rock rise from the sea. The modern Yakcheonsa Temple was built in the 1990s on a huge scale and is a short taxi or cycle ride from Jusangjeoli.

Jeju City

A favourite of honeymoon couples, Jeju City, is the main base for visitors to the island. Attractions include Yongduam ("Dragon Head Rock") on the coast - an evocate rock formation that is illuminated at night and set in Yongduam Park. Mokgwanaji is a restored area of the Joseon dynasty (1992-1910). Heading away from the sea is the Samseonghyeol Shrine and the Folk National History Museum in Sinsan Park. Jeju Love Land is a bizarre sex theme park south of the city and well worth a visit.

Nightlife & Eating Out

Jeju city on the north of the island is the largest town or kick-back at your resort hotel on the coast.
