Sights
Jeju Loveland
This park is aimed at adults and has sculpture works on the themes of the human body and sensuality.
This temple is in Daepo-dong near Jungmun and is famous for Daejeokgwangjeon, considered the largest hall of its kind in East Asia. Tall palm trees add a distinctive atmosphere.
Remove your shoes when entering the Yakcheonsa temple hall, and do not take photos inside the main hall.
This is a three-tiered waterfall and one of Jeju's popular tourist attractions.
There may be no water flow at the first Cheonjeyeon Falls unless there has been heavy rain, so include the second and third falls if you expect to see flowing waterfalls.
This ocean-view barbecue restaurant lets guests grill meat while looking out at the sea. Black pork is available, and white pork is a good option for a reasonably priced meal.
Reviews say walk-ins at Kkeomeong Mokjang may face waits in the evening, sometimes as long as 1.5 hours, so reserve or allow time to wait.
This black-pork restaurant is in Jungmun Tourist Complex. The owner grills the meat personally at first to give it a deep smoky flavor. Aged black pork pairs well with doenjang-jjigae.

SightsSeongsan Ilchulbong
This volcanic crater, formed by an underwater eruption about 5,000 years ago, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Once an island, it is now connected to the mainland, and from the summit visitors can look down into a huge crater covered with vegetation.
This Seongsan restaurant serves mixed braised fish—hairtail and mackerel—for a little over 20,000 won. Its sauce is richly flavored.
Reviews say Matna Sikdang does not allow an order for just 1 serving of braised fish, so check in advance if it can serve 2 portions when visiting alone.
