A Night Spent in the Embrace of Hallasan

Located along Route 1100 at the foot of Hallasan, Seogwipo Natural Recreation Forest is well equipped for forest bathing and ecological exploration, as well as summer water play and camping. A night spent gathered around a tent pitched in the cypress forest, gazing up at a sky thick with stars, becomes a memory to treasure for a lifetime. The Halla Arboretum and the Eoseungsaengak trail are not far from the recreation forest, making them good options for a half-day course.

   Cheonwangsa Temple

   천왕사

   Located midway up Hallasan, Cheonwangsa, like most temples in Jeju, does not have a particularly long history. Walking into the courtyard of Cheonwangsa, crows can be heard cawing and flying overhead. Following them with your eyes out of curiosity, you'll notice unusual rock formations midway up the mountain. The peak behind Cheonbuljeon Hall resembles the dragon-head rock behind Geunjeongjeon Hall at Gyeongbokgung Palace. MoreLess
