    "The village of Chengyi Folklore, because it is located on Jeju Island, also fully reflects the unique living culture of Jeju Island. You can see the seemingly sparsely stacked windshield (black lava), the straight-and-bent "Olai" (narrow alley) built to prevent wind from entering the inner house directly, and the Dolharubang, the symbol of Jeju Island. Jeju Island is particularly famous for black pork and Jeju chocolate. You can see real black pigs in the folk village. I also filmed the kitchen scene in "Great Today" here. At the entrance of the folk village, you can also see a pair of stone grandfathers."

    27.9km from Jeju
    Highlights: Seongeup Folk Village, located at the foot of Halla Mountain, is a folk village that fully preserves Korean traditions. There are many cultural heritages here, and the original appearance of the ancient village is well preserved, so it is designated as a folk village and protected by the government. When you are in the folk village, you can feel the authentic Jeju style as if you have traveled back to ancient times. Here you can see the seemingly sparsely piled windshield walls (black lava stones), the straight and curved "Olai" (narrow alleys) built to prevent the wind from entering the back room directly, and The Dolharubang, the symbol of Jeju Island. Most of the group tourists come here to visit, so the folk custom village is equipped with Chinese-speaking staff for each team, usually an aunt, who will lead everyone to visit the entire folk custom village. As soon as you enter the Folk Village, the first thing that strikes your eye is the "Land of the Land" of Jeju Island, which is made of volcanic stones. It is said that the grandfather who touches the stone has different meanings in various places. If you want peach blossoms, you can touch the top of the head, if you want to get promoted, touch your stomach, if you want to give birth to a son, you can touch your nose, if you want to have a daughter, you can touch your mouth, if you want twins, you can touch your eyes, and you must touch your shoulders. As a more interesting experience, you might as well do as the locals do before you go in. The houses in the folk villages do not have doors, nor can they be locked, but a few wooden sticks are placed at the gates of each house. A wooden stick represents the owner working in the field, and there are children at home, shout a few times or come back after a while. The two sticks indicate that the master is working outside and will not come home until evening. The three sticks represent that the master is away. The four sticks represent the widow's house. If there are no sticks across the door, it means there is someone at home. After that, we started to tour the interior of the Folk Village, which still retains tangible cultural heritage such as folk houses, rural schools, ancient government offices, mills, and steles. At the same time, if you have enough time, you can also experience the following intangible cultural heritages such as making commoner clothes, weaving ropes, making cakes, brewing wine, and folk games. The hundreds of years old zelkova and hackberry trees in the middle of the village have been designated as natural conservation objects. In addition, the kitchen scene in "Dae Jang Geum" was filmed here. According to the aunt, Chengyi Folk Village used to be a communist society, and the village's economic income was distributed collectively. Men in the village usually went out to do some physical work, such as beekeeping and bee-keeping, while women worked in the village. . Generally, the fruits of their labor like honey and Schisandra water are sold to tourists. The money earned by the collective will be distributed uniformly before the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Chinese New Year. The more you work, the more you get, which is very similar to the work-point system in China. The village used to practice polygamy, and a man could even have five wives. After the tour, the aunts will start to sell local specialties, horse bone meal, horse oil and honey. The honey here can precipitate the shape of a beehive, and the schisandra is very popular with children. The price is not cheap, but it is generally not forced to buy. If you like it, you can buy some as a souvenir. In addition, there are still several black-haired pigs in captivity in the village so far. This kind of pork tastes very good and is much smaller than ordinary pigs. Not far from the folk village, there is a restaurant where you can taste roasted black pork. After visiting, you may as well have a delicious lunch there.

    "Tourist attraction in Jeju: Not a big waterfall but the scenery along the mini hike was beautiful, calm and breezy. Many ducks in the river to see too…"
    Seogwipo.Seogwipo City Center
    28.2km from Jeju
    Highlights: The Cheonjiyeon Waterfall in Seogwipo City, Jeju Island is not big, but the surrounding scenery is quite delicate and beautiful. You can walk inward along a small road on the right side of the Xinyuan Bridge parking lot. Legend has it that at the beginning of the universe, the sky and the earth collided to create a waterfall. For example, today, Jiyeon Waterfall is located in a small park called Qishili Park. Many Korean families choose to come here for outings, and it is also a good place to escape the summer heat. The walking trail that stretches all the way from Seogwipo Port to Cheonjiyeon Waterfall area is covered with spear flowers, king cherry blossoms, scorpion flowers and bridge stones, as well as a number of spaces for rest. It is quiet and elegant, so it is popular among couples welcome. There is a 7-11 convenience store at the entrance of the park, and there is a coffee shop and a Korean food shop not far from the entrance for tourists to have a simple meal. Going up the stairs of the coffee shop can take a tour of Huanglong Temple, a small temple. There are two open-air performance venues in the park, and some folk performances are usually held. Walking slowly in the park, there are trees, rocks, sand, and water in a certain place. You can see many rare plants, stone carvings of old women carrying pots, and groups of stone grandpas. Sometimes there is no need to deliberately pursue the mountains and the scenery, everything has its natural and beautiful side. There is a large platform in front of the waterfall, which is suitable for taking pictures with the waterfall. Tiandiyuan Waterfall is aptly named, with strange cliffs towering into the sky, and the waterfall is like a majestic pouring down from the fairyland in the sky. The waterfall is 22 meters high and 12 meters wide, and it falls into the horizontal plane to form a water depth of 20 meters. The water is very clear. This is the famous Tiandiyuan. In recent years, the rock exposed above Cheonjiyeon Waterfall has been discovered, which looks like the outline of a human being. When viewed from the left, it looks like an adult's face, but when viewed from the right, it looks like a child's face. Its appearance is more pronounced when the sun goes down and tilts westward in the evening than when viewed in the morning. Below the waterfall is the famous habitat of flower eels and carps, where mandarin ducks and flower carps live freely in the pond water. Not far away you can also see a stone sculpture of a turtle and carp. The devout people believe that the turtle is a thousand-year-old spiritual beast, which will bring good luck, and the carp is the meaning of wealth and wealth, and water has contained some mysterious meaning since ancient times. So such a place will always welcome coins of various colors, and you can also throw a coin to make a wish. In addition, it has to be said that flower eels and carp are nocturnal animals, so Cheonjiyeon Waterfall is illuminated at night, and it is also a famous night tourist attraction. At night, the Tiandiyuan scenic spot is illuminated, and the waterfall falls like a white gauze from a height of more than 20 meters, which is a different scene from the daytime. There are also many local specialty food stalls at the entrance of the park. The more famous one is the carbon-smoked eggs here, 3 pieces of 2,000 won, you can try it.

    "Famous waterfall in Jeju that plunges right into the sea, access is via a flight of stairs down the cliff. Hordes of people at this attraction clamouring to get the best shots by traipsing the rocks and stones. Scenic views all around at this attractive waterfall in Seogwipo City in southern Jeju."

    Highlights: Jeongbang Waterfall, also known as Jeju Island's three major waterfalls with Cheonjiyeon Falls and Cheonjeyeon Falls, is located in Dongbong-dong, Seogwipo City, Jeju Island. It is a coastal waterfall that falls directly into the sea in Korea and even Asia. It is said that a man named Xu Fu was ordered by Qin Shi Huang to search for the elixir of life, but he still could not find it. Before going back, pass the beautiful Jeongbang Waterfall, and engraved the words "Xu Fu passed this" on the cliff. But these words are no longer visible now, it is just a legend. In addition, the name Seogwipo is also derived from the meaning of Xu Fu's return to the west. Because the location of the scenic spot is relatively remote, you can take the tourist bus No. 600 from Jeju Airport to the terminal KAL Hotel. After getting off, follow the sign of Jeongbang Waterfall and walk for about 10 minutes. There is an information desk at the entrance of the scenic spot. If you have any travel questions, you can ask the staff here. Although you can't speak Chinese, you are very enthusiastic and can speak simple English. Walking towards the seaside from the entrance, you can see a large observation platform, where you can not only look at the seascape in the distance, but also take a panoramic photo of the waterfall. The entire waterfall is 23 meters high and 8 meters wide. It pours straight from the black cliffs into the vast sea. The spectacular waterfalls and the blue sea sing joyfully. Together with the surrounding vertical cliffs and old pines, this place has become a tourist attraction. A place to take pictures. If you want to get up close and personal with the waterfall, you can go down the escalator and walk to the coast, where you can directly look up at the waterfall. However, there are big stones on the side of the waterfall, which makes it difficult to walk. It is recommended to wear sneakers. In summer, you can also take off your shoes and play in the water. If you happen to meet sea girls who go out to sea, you can eat their freshly salvaged sea urchins, squid and other things for a little money. Walking 300 meters east from Jeongbang Waterfall, there are 10 5-meter-high water streams, that is Xiaojeongfang Waterfall. In summer, it is a very popular place for locals to play in the water.

    "The lonely rock sitting at the South of Jeju Island, formed 1.5million years ago."
    Seogwipo.Seogwipo City Center
    28.9km from Jeju
    Highlights: Independence Rock is located in Qianhai of Sanmeifeng Park. It is a beautiful scene created by a large amount of volcanic lava under the action of indescribable great natural forces during the volcanic eruption about 1.5 million years ago. Independent Rock is about 20 meters high and is also known as General Rock or Guishipo. Beautiful islands such as Tiger Island and Bird Island are scattered around Independence Rock, and sea rocks with strange shapes such as Train Rock are scattered. The sunset view of Tiger Island from Independence Rock is especially popular with tourists. In addition, in 2003, the popular Korean drama "Dae Jang Geum" was also filmed in Ideokam, and the scene where Jang Geum and Han Shanggong were exiled was filmed as the background. From Seogwipo City, you can reach the entrance of Independence Rock by car. There is a Songguang Sea Cafe at the entrance, which provides some coffee and some light meals. Going down the stairs, you can see that there are many stones used by local people to make wishes. It is said that the higher the pile, the more wishes will come true, and when you pile up your own wishes, you can't knock down other people's wishing stones, if you are interested you can try it. Going down, you can see a guide map, which indicates the location of the independent rock and the viewing platform, you can pay attention to it. Standing on the viewing platform of the independent rock, you can face the sea, overlooking the beautiful scenery in the distance and the scattered boats on the sea. At the same time, it is also an ideal location to photograph the entire Independence Rock. From a distance, it looks like a majestic general standing by the sea. There is a large still photo of Dae Jang Geum not far from the observation deck. Next to it is a humanoid standing sign of Dae Jang Geum. The face is hollowed out. Remember.

    "Very beautiful, it is recommended to sit in the middle position, there are corals, we sat in the front row and did not see corals. But the bottom of the water is really beautiful. It is not recommended to wear a short skirt for girls, because the submarine is a ladder to climb up and down. Underwater is really beautiful! My friend thought it was a video hahaha"

    Highlights: Seogwipo Submarine began operations in 1988. It is the first port in the East and the third port in the world to operate submarines, and has always maintained the Guinness World Record for safe operation. This is a small submarine that can accommodate dozens of people. I believe that watching the underwater scenery from the submarine is a very fresh tourist experience.

    "This place is awesome! I look forward to finding such a good place in the United States or Europe, not on a holiday island in Korea. The cars on display are absolutely gorgeous and amazing. For me, classic models are better than modern machines because they have more unique designs and cause a more exciting feeling in my heart. I absolutely love it! Even if I don’t like cars much I think this place is worth going... this place has a lot of cars in the collection and it’s all well preserved. Look at different models and production times... very educational. Outdoor exhibitions are very popular because you can touch them yourself and get into the car for the children."
