What to do and see in Seogwipo, Jeju Island: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites

May 8, 2022 Sachiko Swiger

On the south side of Jeju Island, Seogwipo offers swanky hotels, rugged cliffs, popular beaches and gorgeous waterfalls. The volcanic-rock cliffs located around Jungmun beach are a wonder. Make sure to visit the viewing platform to take in the spectacular vistas. A coastal city, Seogwipo's many activities revolve around the ocean, including diving and submarine tours. Many of the restaurants specialize in fresh, local seafood. There's also much to see and do inland, including temples, art museums, amusement parks and botanical gardens.

Yakcheonsa Temple

Reviewed By aijako - Seoul, South Korea

We visited Yakcheonsa Temple on our Jeju Olle Trail Route 8. This temple looks delightful because of its architecture and beautiful surrounding scenery. The views from the second floor were amazing! We even had a chance to ring the bell and make wishes here! A recommended place for photographers to get vivid pictures. You can also experience a temple stay activity in this Buddhist temple.
