Jeju's Story Told in One Place

#mytraveldiary The Jeju Folklore and Natural History Museum is an essential first stop for anyone wanting to truly understand the island. It brilliantly combines both the island's unique geology and its rich cultural traditions. We were fascinated by the natural history sections, which explained how Jeju's volcanic origins shaped its current landscape, from Hallasan to the unique basalt formations. Moving into the folklore exhibits, you gain deep insight into the lives of the islanders—the Haenyeo (female divers), the traditional thatched-roof homes, and the local religious beliefs. It's a comprehensive and well-curated educational journey that ties the land and the people together seamlessly.
