Yongduam (Dragon Head Rock)

Coastal area north of Jeju City center (near the port and airport area), Jeju City, Jeju Province

A basalt sea-rock sculpted by erosion into a dragon-head-like formation; local legend and easy coastal access make it one of Jeju City’s most photographed natural symbols.

Hike Hallasan (Hallasan National Park)

Climb South Korea’s highest peak — an extinct shield volcano rising from the island’s center; trails range from short walks to full-day summit routes offering crater-lake views and alpine vegetation.

Hallasan encapsulates Jeju’s volcanic origin and biodiverse habitats; hiking the mountain gives dramatic panoramas, unique subalpine plants, and a sense of the island’s scale and geology.

Explore Manjanggul Lava Tube (Manjanggul Cave)

Walk the accessible section of one of the world’s longest lava tubes, with stalactite-like lava formations, lava flow features, and a cool subterranean atmosphere.

Manjanggul is a UNESCO-recognized example of lava tube geology — visually striking, educational, and a comfortable way to experience Jeju’s volcanic history even on rainy days.

Visit Jeju Stone Park

A large outdoor and indoor park-museum complex dedicated to Jeju’s stone culture, volcanic heritage and local myths, with sculptural exhibits, stone piles and themed gardens.

Stone Park blends geology, folklore and landscape art — ideal for learning about Jeju’s cultural relationship with basalt, dol hareubangs (stone guardians), and island myths in a peaceful setting.

Taste local food at Dongmun Market (and night market)

Jeju’s oldest and largest traditional market offering fresh seafood, local fruit (hallabong), street food stalls, and a vibrant night-market atmosphere.

Dongmun Market is the best place to sample Jeju specialties — fresh sashimi, grilled seafood, black pork snacks and citrus-based treats — and to feel the daily life of the island.

Stroll the coast: Yongduam (Dragon Head Rock) and Iho Tewoo Beach

See Yongduam, a dramatic basalt sea-rock shaped like a dragon’s head near Jeju City, then relax or walk along nearby Iho Tewoo Beach with its distinctive horse-shaped lighthouses.

These coastal landmarks are quick, photogenic stops near the city center — great for sunset views, easy seaside walking, and a contrast to inland volcanic landscapes.
