If you want to see a waterfall without the hassle of hiking a long way, go for this one. Just a little stairways descend from the entrance and voilà - you'll be greeted by this pretty view of water flowing freely to the sea of Jeju.

3. Hallasan National Park

An UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Site, the Hallasan National Park is loaded with walking trails and is home to South Korea’s highest mountain named the Shield Volcano Hallasan. You’ll find about 1800 different kinds of plants and a number of alpine animals along the way up. The park is a unique place for nature lovers. Settled right in the heart of Jeju island, this park with high density woods and blooming hillsides is concidered as a treat to be at. Transportation: start with chosing a right trail for you. There many different ways up to the mountain, but only one of them will bring you to the summit. To get to the entrance you’d probably need to take one of the public busses or rent a car. Both options are convenient. Equipment: You’d definitely need to be prepared for a long and tiring walk. All the trails are devided into segments, based on their difficulty. Some of the parts of the trail would be paved, some wouldn’t be equipped at all. You’d be grateful for those parts where you’d be able to walk and step on the wooden bridges and paths. But except those short and the easiest parts of the way, you’d need to climb on the steep and narrow rocks, hop along cobblestones and boulders. Timing: don’t rush, remember when you’re on the top, that was only a half of your journey. There is the same long way down the mountain when you’re on the summit. Tips: be prepared for considerable change of the temperature and other weather conditions. We started in a pleasant sunny day and finished when it was drizzling and the fog was literally embracing us. Add up some wind and decreased temperature and you’re almost in our shoes out there. You’d definetely need to wear tracking boots or something alike, protecting and supporting your feet well. Otherwise you risk hurting your ankles and knees. (as us, cause we were not prepared) You’d also want to change your clothes after 6-7 hours tracking up and down this mountain. Believe me you’ll be sweating af.
4. Daepo Haean Jusangjeolli Cliff

Reviewed By raghu67 - Bengaluru, India
One can have a magnificient view of basalt stone pillars formed along the coast due to sudden cooling and solidification of the Lava which flowed into the sea. The sudden contraction of molten lava due to the cooling effect of water has resulted in these rocks splitting into polygonal columns and forming a coast of almost 2 km long. This attraction is worth the visit and can be reached directly by trekking from Cheonjeyeon falls or taking a bus and pass thru the garden (Jusangjeollidae Promenade) and then reach the cliff at the end. Walking around the garden would be relaxing and one should not miss it. Wooden Platforms have been built to reach the end of the cliff and for a better view of the coastal line.

We visited this place while walking the Olle trail route 10 and its great view and fresh seafood were very pleasing and I strongly recommend it. Definitely great to snap some fantastic photos while enjoying the rocky beach. The whole place was very clean and I just really enjoyed my time there chilling and staring at the ocean and volcanic cliffs. It took about 30min to walk the whole path but if you want to take everything in, chill and take some pictures 1 hour and more would be perfect.

This is my favorite as the waterfalls and the blue water coupled with mandarin ducks swimming and moving around, I really feel like I'm in a fantasy land or living in the fairy tales movie that we used to see. Highly recommended for photography and relaxation!

I enjoyed this place even more than Jusangeolli, maybe because there were less people, or maybe because the view was just so serene. It was a nice walk through some trees before getting to the viewing spot. We went in the afternoon so the sun was just perfectly positioned. I got some nice photos of this place, especially including the trees on top of the cliff to the right of the rock. You can't miss seeing this place, even for just a few minutes.

Welcome to the first Teddy Bear Museum in Korea. Here you will find everything you want to know about Teddy Bears. Teddy Bears have been loved and cherished since they were first introduced over 100 years ago. There are now millions of people who collect Teddy Bears. They seek out old, unique and valuable teddy bears for their personal collections. Our Teddy Bear Museum opened especially for the European collectors. The Teddy Bear Museum is more exciting than ever with "Teddy Bear" entertainment as never seen before. Jeju Teddy Bear Museum opened on April 24, 2001. It contains two galleries, a museum gift shop, and a museum cafe. Also, on site is a museum bar/restaurant, a wonderful place to meet friends, family, and lovers. From the outside garden, there is a view of Jung-Mun Beach.

I wasn't really keen on dropping by Teddy Bear Museum; but since our tour dropoff destination was literally across it, we decided to just check out the museum. I never expected that I'd enjoy it as much as I did. The museum is relatively small, but its attention to detail is amazing. Exhibits range from historical events, famous movies/characters (Titanic, Snow White, Disney), notable figures (Steve Jobs, Michael Jackson, Audrey Hepburn), famous works of art (Mona Lisa, The Thinker) among so many others. Highlights would be its Louis Vuitton bear as well as its immensely groovy Elvis Presley bear who would serenade you with the King's greatest hits.
