10 things not to miss in MayYou and view~tiful Jeju Island


May is considered by many in Korea to be “the queen of the seasons.” Perhaps more so on Jeju. The peak of spring and the fresh anticipation of summer combine. The verdant trees and flowers flutter and sway throughout the day. Let's enjoy the sunshine and sparkle of May together.

A love story at Jeju’s foundation1. Onpyeong-ri Village, Honinji Pond


The town of Onpyeong-ri is where Jeju's mythical founders — Goh, Bu, and Yang — and the three princesses of the mythical state of Byeokrang met and married. Their love and the beginning of the Kingdom of Tamna, which later became known as Jeju-do, are inextricably intertwined in this "wedding site", or honinji, where the three couples gave their wedding vows. It is still possible to walk around the romantic spot, one which brings Jeju’s past and present together.

Sound of waves and a requiem2. Teojinmok at Seongsanpo, Hamdeok Seoubong


Seongsanpo’s blue sea and the charming white blossoms along its coast give no indication of its sad history. Teojinmok is one of the sites of a tragic internecine conflict known as the Jeju April 3rd Incident, which started 70 years ago. From magnificent Seongsan Sunrise Peak all the way along the northern coast to Hamdeok Beach and beyond, the echos of Jeju’s tumultuous history ring out. Some say they can hear the spirits of the victims in the roar of the waves and constant whistle of the wind. Please give them a thought as you explore Jeju’s natural beauty.

Love is in the air3. Jeju Stone Park, Gyorae Natural Recreation Forest


Jeju Stone Park is where the beauty of nature and the culture of Jeju combine, like the tight grip of lovers holding hands. When you walk through the expansive grounds of this park, you will be treated to panoramic vistas of volcanic cones covered in swaying grass and trees, gigantic natural stones arranged aesthetically, and a wide selection of Dolhareubang stone statues. In some cases these stones have been carefully moved to their present location to protect and preserve them for generations to come. Every May the park celebrates Jeju culture and art in a festival focused around Seolmundae Halmang, the mythical goddess who was said to have created the island. In addition to the black basalt rock that makes up the island, another volcanic gift is the thick natural forest known as Gojawal. In May it is lush and verdant and people love to enjoy its cool shade and natural fragrance as they walk through it. A great example is Gyorae Natural Recreation Forest, which is located right next to Jeju Stone Park.

Let’s walk the trail together4. Baekyaki Oreum


It’s said that 100 different kinds of plants grow on Baekyaki Volcanic Cone, which is where it gets its name. It is also a famous wedding photo location for couples who want to be together forever, like the eternity of the heavens high above them. After a 30-minute walk to the summit, the view at the top includes magnificent Seongsan Sunrise Peak to the east and the summit of Hallasan Mountain to the west. The fragrant forest in the area is pleasant to pass through, as is the spectacular driving course to and from this famous oreum.

Feel the Jeju sunshine and Mother Nature5. Eco-friendly experience programs


This is a great time to be outdoors. The young leaves have sprouted, the flowers are blooming, and the weather is mild and refreshing. You can experience all sorts of Jeju eco-friendly activities. For example, try an extraordinary three-wheeled recumbent bicycle ride under the clear May sky with Hong Bike. Or if an electric kickboard is more to your liking, the flat coastal road is also a perfect route to explore. Inland, there’s the Jeju Rail Bike Park, which has a track that runs through Jeju's natural grassland. It’s part electric, part pedal powered, so be prepared to get some exercise!

An unforgettable season of discovery6. Cheonjiyeon Waterfalls


In the 1970s and 80s, Jeju was known primarily as a domestic honeymoon destination. Cheonjiyeon Waterfalls was one of the best honeymoon courses of the time. Many thousands of couples have wedding photos wearing nice hanbok (Korean traditional attire) standing in front of these falls. Cheonjiyeon is open until 10 p.m. so if you visit after dark you can appreciate the multi-colored illumination of the water, something you can’t see during the daytime.

Feast on Jeju’s festive flavors8. Dongmun Night Market


If you’re a fan of shopping, and especially the hustle of traditional markets, then the new Dongmun Night Market is for you. They have extended their regular hours till midnight, meaning you can conveniently do some thrifty shopping after a day out exploring the island. If you’re feeling hungry, there’s more than enough great food on offer here. You can try the fresh seafood (like Jeju abalone), order some grilled octopus, shrimp tempura, or chow down on black pork skewers. There’s rice cake and Jeju Hallabong juice, too. This lively market is full of exciting sounds and delicious smells, so just follow your nose and have fun!

Orange blossoms that drape like a bride’s white veil9. May Jeju citrus blossoms


The mandarin orchards of May are draped in white orange blossoms. Hahyo Village, for instance, is drenched in a rich, intoxicating citrus scent. You can try all sorts of citrus-related cooking and eating programs here, such as at its Mandarin Experience Center. Try making a citrus tart, or perhaps a Hallabong citrus scented candle. There are also plenty of cafes like Jejue In farm, that are filled with citrus pastries, cakes, smoothies and teas. It’s all there for you to sample and savor!
