OVERVIEW

Enjoy a fascinating look at Jeju’s most recognizable landmarks, which include a rock shaped like a dragon’s head, a revealing cultural museum and a thriving city market. Although natural elements carved what looks to be a dragon’s head in Yongduam Rock, various mystical legends abound about its creation. Regardless of how it was formed, the rock has become a symbol of Jeju. You will learn more about the city at the Folklore and Natural History Museum. While browsing the exhibits, you may learn about Jeju’s natural features, endemic animals and plants, and daily rituals. Items such as ancient looms for weaving hemp clothing and chunks of lava are beautifully displayed. Continuing on to Dongmun Market, you will enjoy a close-up look into daily life on the island, as the locals will be shopping for merchandise ranging from abalone to herbs to tangerine-flavored chocolate. Established in 1945 following Korea’s liberation from colonial rule, the market features hundreds of stalls.
