2025 Dongmun Market / Jeju City Hall Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

#cityplaybook #familytrip #localguides #postandearn Location: Jeju City, Jeju Island, South Korea Jeju City is the beating heart of Jeju Island—an island often called the “Hawaii of Korea” for its volcanic landscapes, coastal charm, and unique culture. It’s where modern city life meets ancient lava caves, where seafood markets buzz by day and the ocean breeze calms you by night. From the moment I landed, I could feel this place was different—refreshing, laid-back, yet full of character. My first stop was Dongmun Traditional Market. This lively marketplace is a sensory overload in the best way—colors, smells, tastes, and friendly locals everywhere. I tried the island’s signature hallabong orange juice and fresh hairtail fish stew, a spicy local delicacy I’d never heard of before but instantly loved. Jeju City also offers access to natural wonders like the Manjanggul Lava Tube, one of the world’s longest lava tunnels. Walking through its massive chambers, formed by ancient volcanic eruptions, felt like stepping into the Earth’s core. It's a quiet, cool, and awe-inspiring place that makes you appreciate nature’s raw power. For peaceful moments, Sarabong Park is a perfect retreat. Locals hike it for sunrise or sunset, and the view from the top overlooking the sea is unforgettable. I watched elderly couples doing Tai Chi and kids flying kites—it was a moment of calm beauty that stuck with me. Best time to visit: Spring (April to June) or Fall (September to November). The weather is crisp, cherry blossoms or autumn leaves are in full bloom, and crowds are fewer compared to peak summer. Bonus tip: Jeju City is well-connected by public buses, so it’s easy to get around even if you’re not driving. Also, try Jeju’s famous black pork BBQ—it’s rich, smoky, and uniquely delicious. #JejuCity #JejuIsland #HiddenKorea #NatureMeetsCulture #JejuTravel #IslandAdventures #ManjanggulLavaTube #DongmunMarket #BlackPorkBBQ #TripFeatured

There is a whiskey bar with a great atmosphere hidden in the alleys of Jeju City Hall! It's fun to find, and you can go in and enjoy the atmosphere and hear the history and hidden stories of whiskey! But drunk people can't enter ㅠㅠ They said it was decided that way for the convenience of other customers! I hope many people know about it You have to let people know about good places! The location is 14-1, Seogwang-ro 32-gil, Jeju-si, Jeju Double Barrel: Double barrel #Travel plan#Domestic travel#Jeju travel#trip
