Con
Too many tourists from the mainland....
In a nutshell
seafood....seafood...see food....eat!!!!
stamporama Says: This is a garden park that contains many exotic plant species as well as some birds and small reptiles. It's nice place to visit and walk around in plus there are 2 caves to explore though there are no stalactites or stalagmites to appreciate. You can also view a replica of...
stamporama Says: Jeju Love Land is essentially an open air museum dedicated to sex, a garden with various statues and displays of pornographic art (if there's such a thing). There is even a store that sells all manner of sex toys, aids and gadgets.Admission price is 7,000 won and it is open...
stamporama Says: Anything that's made of glass, especially colorful ones, can be found here. Not just those made in Korea but from the world over.Open year-round from 9 am - 5 pm. Admission price: adults - 9,000 won, teenagers - 8,000 won, children below 12 - 7,000 won.
stamporama Says: Seongsan Ilchulbong is an extinct volcanic crater that one could climb and come down from within an hour. There is a concrete pathway and stairway to the top with 2 rest stops along the way. Once you reach the crater rim you are rewarded with a magnificent and majestic view...
Teseum - the Teddy Bear museum
stamporama Says: I know it's kid stuff but some of my lady companions wanted to go here so I had no choice but to come along. As expected, the place shows not just teddies but all sorts of stuffed animals in various get-ups, from an African safari to fairy tale characters. Very cheesy, I...

Travelingbrookie Says: We went to the Delphic Games in Sinsan Park and Jeju Cultural Center. There was more hype than what we actually saw, which is common in South Korea. There were supposed to be 50 countries represented, but we only saw 6 mentioned. Out of the 6 about 4 were Asian countries....
Tom_Fields Says: Yongduam Rock, or the Dragon's Head, is one of Jeju-do's best-known landmarks. Couples on their honeymoon traditionally have their picture taken here. The beach here is a favorite place for really FRESH seafood. Local divers, all women, swim to the bottom, haul up shellfish,...

. Cheju is famous for food – seafood, horsemeat and, apparently, pheasant. Our chef took us out to the backyard and let us watch as he expertly caught and beheaded a large bird for our dinner. Our meal came in courses – or stages, as the owner’s son (a Japanese major at university) proudly explained. It started with all the usual side dishes, plus some raw pheasant heart (tough and pretty tasteless), and then strips of meat were brought out for us to cook ourselves on the table grill. We wrapped the meat in lettuce and ate it like samgypsal. Then a pot of salted water with onions and mushrooms was placed on the grill and we were given thin shavings of raw meat to dip into the boiling water to cook. Each piece only took a couple of seconds and then we were to dip it into a mustard sauce and eat it with lettuce. Our third course was probably the best. Suejebee (a kind of thick, glutinous rice noodle) and buckwheat noodles were added to our pot of water, as was any leftover meat from the previous two courses. We let it cook for a while and then ate it like soup. Yummy, yummy, exploding tummy!
Favorite Dish: "Kkwong" = pheasant

You can't go to Korea without sampling soju (Korea's answer to Japan's sake or Mongolia's vodka) and you certainly can't go to Cheju without trying the local brew - it's so strong that apparently they can't even export it to mainland Korea! For proper atmosphere, head to the scummiest-looking soju tent you can find, and make sure you have to use the bathroom at least once (you might wanna bring along a flashlight and some tissue).
Remember, Koreans will think you're weird if you don't order "anjew" (snacks) with your drinks, so you might wanna also get a fruit platter (and that way you can also try Cheju's famous mini-oranges).

D_Shannon Says: Yes, it's safe! Korea has got to be one of the safest countries in the world, and on tiny Cheju, a small-town atmosphere prevades. Even if you don't stick out your thumb, locals are apt to stop and ask you if you need a ride if they happen to be going in your direction.This...
jaam Says: Best way is to have your own transport. Rental car agency are aplenty to be picked up from the airport. The cost normally is included when purchasing a package tour from the mainland. It's more convenient. You can plan your trips around to avoid droves of tourists in big...
Downtown Jeju-si is a good place to find unusual local souvenirs, or whatever else interests you. There are plenty of stores, so shop around before buying anything major. You can just browse, as I did.
What to buy: All kinds of merchandise.
What to pay: Know how to bargain.

Jeju Do Tolharubang or Stone Grandfather Guardians
Hmmmm Says: .Jeju Island; a place of myths and legends, is an island, so rich in the beauty of natural scenery and exotic in culture, that it keeps attracting tourists both from home and abroad. Among the things representing traditional culture in the island is the "Tolharubang" or...
Ever Been to Scotland, or any Other Rocky Place?
Hmmmm Says: What did they do with all those rocks..? Well Jeju is a Volcanic Island, and full of stone, just like Hawai'i, and just as the ancient Hawaiians used the ubiquitous basalt to build EVRYTHING, so too did the ancient Jeju Islanders. You've already seen picture sof the stone...
D_Shannon Says: Halla is a great mountain to hike: you can take the bus halfway up and the rest is stairs. You can go up one way and down the other (don't worry; buses, taxis and friendly locals are all available to get you back to your hotel/car). The problem? Often the last 200 meters...
jaam Says: Needing to go to relieve some discomfort ladies???My experience in Korea took me to comfort rooms or toilet facilities that are really clean....However, the stalls have doors (sliding) on some and no locks. I was really surprised by an old lady charging in, hehehebtw,...
Most of the points of interests in this island seems to be geared for tourists....The one I was so disappointed with was The Shinyoung Cinema Museum. I was expecting a "micro" universal studio type theme and it didn't even come close. Mostly posters and photos of past and present korean starz....This site is more suited to the older local tourists and local movie buffs....
Unique Suggestions: Don't hang too long inside not unless you really are in to Korean movie stars. Go out the back because a really nice setting awaits you there....Find yourself a spot, open up your drink and soak up some sun....The view of the ocean is outstanding....
Ignore the other tourists armed with cameras shooting pics. They are unavoidable anywhere in the island that's been written up as places to see.
