Halla Arboretum Is A Free Forested Oasis In The Middle Of Jeju City
When most people arrive to Jeju Airport, they’re pretty quick to get out of Jeju City and head to other various parts of the must-see island.

Snoopy Garden: What To Do in Jeju with Kids
How many times have you visited Jeju Island? This popular travel destination in South Korea, called the Hawai’i of South Korea, is bigger than many expect and I’ve been four… or is it five times and am still finding things to see and do.

Jeju Island in South Korea is often the highlight of Korea for many, tourist and local alike.

The thing about Jeju though that you’ll hear again and again is how you need to rent a car. Now, don’t get me wrong, you can definitely get around without a car.

There are stunning natural wonders to see all over Jeju Island which is why it’s one of my favorite places in all of Korea to visit.

Hamdeok Beach: The Idyllic Place To Stay on Jeju Island
Jeju Island is the best place in South Korea to visit in the summer months in Korea. There are plenty of beaches to explore and museums and fun indoor sites too.
