[2024 Jeju Attraction] Travel Guide for Hallim Park (Updated Dec)

Welcome to Paradise! 🏝️ ☀️

Jeju is a picturesque small island located in South Korea. It is easy to get to from Seoul (1h15 flight) and from other main cities. Flights are also super cheap making this nice trip quite affordable. On the island, there are tons of beaches and other breathtaking nature wonders such as cliffs, coast boardwalks, waterfalls, parks, botanical gardens and volcanic cones. Attractions are located all around the island, so you do have to travel quite a bit by bus. The bus is very cheap and it’s very easy to go around the island. For South Korea, I suggest uploading an app called Naver Map. Other map apps such as Apple map or Google map do not work very well in South Korea. Where should you stay? My recommendation to you is to stay three nights in Seogwipo and 2-3 nights on the East side of the Island. There are quite a few things to see near Seogwipo. You can also go on the West side for a day trip (or two) to see the attractions (Hallim park, coast walk, beaches). Have fun and enjoy this beautiful island! #jejuisland #naturalwonders #beachlife

A concept cafe with a large playground and outdoor garden.

📍Myeongwol Elementary School 48 Myeongwol-ro, Hallim-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju Business hours: Daily 11:00 - 18:30 An experience that brings back memories of school days The old items placed throughout the school interior reminded me of my elementary school days. Small details like the harmonium and wooden chairs evoke a sense of nostalgia. The playground and garden are beautifully maintained, allowing you to enjoy a walk both inside and outside the cafe. The scenery blending with the clear sky is truly reminiscent of Jeju, making it a perfect place to stroll around leisurely.

Hallim Park

#koreatrip IMHO, the ticket price is super worth its while, as the place is humongous. As the main lava tubes is closed for renovations till 2025, Hallim park’s two caves are the only ones that are open and easily accessible by visitors. The caves are very beautiful and well maintained, and had mini stories (mother sculpture, the pillar of wisdom, etc). Besides the caves, there’s also a vast garden containing cacti species, bonsai etc and even a traditional folk house set up (so you can skip the folk village visit !!) in the premises.

In 2002, a lotus pond about 3,300 square meters in size was added to the park. * Hyeopjae. Ssangyong Cave 2.5 million years ago, a volcanic eruption in the Mount Hallasan area formed this black lava cave, which turned into a limestone cave with golden hues due to the infiltration of lime water.

Exploring 'Eastern Hawaii' - Jeju Island (Part 1)

Staying at Jeju Dalbeach Pension hotel during our trip to Jeju Island, we chose a standard room for 800 RMB, about 3 kilometers from Jeju Island. The style is minimalist, and you can see the beach when you open the window (note that breakfast is not included at this hotel). But let's get back to the point. Grab your DSLR, and let's hit the road~~ Jeju Island is picturesque with a warm climate and unique local customs. Each season brings different hues and sights to enjoy: canola flowers in spring, islands and coasts in summer, purple eulalia in autumn, and snowscapes of Hallasan Mountain in winter. On Jeju Island, you can hike, cycle, snorkel, paraglide, sail, as well as play golf, hunt, fish, horseback ride, race horses, and swim. If you're someone who loves sports, Jeju Island will not disappoint. Even a post-dinner stroll can be a unique pleasure. The beach is a top tourist attraction on Jeju Island, located within the comprehensive resort area - Jungmun Tourist Complex. The beach is surrounded by scenic spots that are convenient for visitors to enjoy. The unique feature of Jungmun Beach lies in the dunes and their distinctive colors. The dunes are not very high but are a mix of black, white, red, and gray. The beach is also a paradise for marine leisure sports. There are many companies around that offer services for surfing, diving, and rafting. The clear waters and suitable temperatures make it one of the best places for marine leisure sports in Korea. Hallasan Mountain is the landmark of Jeju Island. This dormant volcano boasts very unique scenery. Sunshine, beaches, and a romantic blue honeymoon trip. As the altitude increases, the vegetation on the mountain changes accordingly. Due to volcanic eruptions, the volcanic lake formed at the summit - Baengnokdam, is simply an ecological kingdom with a variety of exotic flowers and plants. In spring, Hallasan Mountain turns into a sea of azaleas; in summer, the trees are lush, and streams babble; in autumn, the mountain is covered with red leaves, and the ground is golden; in winter, it is dressed in silver, covered with snow. There are beautiful scenes to behold all year round. As the filming location for many Korean dramas, Jeju Island has become a dream honeymoon destination for many. If you're single, it's not recommended to come here and torture yourself. Even without the promotion of these TV dramas and the charm of the stars, Jeju Island has long been known as the 'Hawaii of the East.' Moreover, Jeju Island is the only place in Korea without a curfew, and its colorful natural landscapes, water activities, and free and romantic atmosphere attract many young couples. Besides the bustling Seogwipo, there are many other unforgettable attractions on the island: Hanlim Park, Bonsai Art Garden, Jeju Folk Village Museum, Jeongbang Waterfall, and Samgeunbibyung, which are probably favored by those who enjoy a rich nightlife.
