VISIT JEJU

Nohyung Supermarket is one of Jeju’s newest attractions. It’s a multimedia art show that takes visitors on a journey through a secret world. The premise of the gallery is that there are doors that connect our world to the world of myths, fairy tales, and imagination. As time passed, the story says that most of these doors were forgotten, until one was discovered in Nohyung Supermarket. The actual exhibition is made up of five themed rooms. The first is a recreation of a small supermarket. Except everything in it is black and white because the hidden door absorbed all the color. The illusion is convincing and seeing things you recognize with the color removed is an eerie experience. Towards the back of this room is the door that takes you to the new world. While the supermarket is black and white, the alternate world exhibits all use light to create colorful visual experiences. It’s a fun concept and theme, and each of the artworks is highly immersive. If you’re looking for a place to take unique photos of your trip to Jeju, this is a good option. And once you finish walking around, the venue also has a café where you can stop and enjoy a drink and a gift shop.

Saebyeol Oreum is one of the many volcanic hills that are spread across Jeju Island. It is one of the most popular due to the incredible views you get out over the surrounding area. It also has a large car park, and its location just off a major road makes it easy to access. The hill is instantly recognizable due to its shape, which has two small peaks. At 119 meters high (519 meters above sea level), the walk to the summit only takes around 30 minutes. The climb is steep on the way up, but the well-maintained path helps hikers reach the top. The views from the summit make the climb worth it. Hike during the day for clear views over the surrounding countryside. You can see as far as the sea on a clear day. The views are especially impressive if you hike during sunset, as you’ll see the sun drop below you. In fall the oreum is covered in silver grass, making the whole hill appear to sway in the wind. Saebyeol Oreum is also the location of the Fire Festival at the start of spring.

Saebyeol Friends is a small farm at the foot of Saebyeol Oreum. It is home to various animals, including alpacas, sheep, and ostriches, and is a great spot to have some animal-based fun on your Jeju trip. You can walk around the farm interacting with animals, and you even get the chance to feed some of them. The farm owners have set up plenty of photo zones throughout the park, making it a great spot to snap a photo with Saebyeol Oreum in the background.

If you feel the need for a break once you finish your climb, then try out Saebil Café. This spot is located just a few hundred meters from the entrance to the oreum. The café is built in an old resort making it one of the most memorable spots on Jeju to enjoy a drink and dessert. It’s known for its large windows that provide clear views of Saebyeol Oreum and the surrounding area. The café sells a variety of coffees, teas, and juices, as well as a large selection of cakes and desserts made in the on-site bakery.

Jeju Light Garden is the next stop along the road. This park is filled with 50,000 LED bulbs that brighten the night with beautiful, colorful displays. Look out for the starlight tunnel, fields of flowers, sculptures of a whale and swan, and even a giant peacock. Each exhibit provides ample photo opportunities, and walking around the garden is a fun way to spend an evening. There’s even an indoor light studio that is perfect for taking snaps of your trip.
