[Seogwipo Gangjeong Port Guests Only] Hallasan 1100 Altitude Rest Area is located 1,100 meters above sea level on the slopes of Hallasan Mountain. It offers stunning views, walking trails, and a peaceful wetland area. It’s a perfect spot to enjoy Jeju’s natural beauty without hiking all the way to the summit.

[Seogwipo Gangjeong Port Guests Only] Jusangjeolli Cliff is a stunning volcanic rock formation along Jeju’s southern coast. The hexagonal columns were formed by lava cooling rapidly in the sea. It’s a popular photo spot where you can enjoy the power of nature and the beauty of the waves crashing against the rocks.

[Seogwipo Gangjeong Port Guests Only] The name "Cheonjiyeon" means a pond where heaven and earth meet, with a waterfall height of 22 meters and a pond depth of 20 meters, aptly describing this natural wonder. The pond at the base of the waterfall is home to the marbled eel, known for its migratory nature—spawning in the sea and returning to rivers or lakes. These eels hide in deep waters during the day and come out to feed at night, with the largest reaching up to 2 meters in length and weighing 20 kg. As Cheonjiyeon Waterfall marks the northern limit of the marbled eel's habitat, it has been designated Natural Monument No. 27. This makes Cheonjiyeon Waterfall a "treasure trove of natural monuments."

[Seogwipo Gangjeong Port Guests Only] Jeju's traditional local market offers a glimpse into the island's rich heritage. Here, you can find fresh seafood, meat, and a variety of souvenirs and local delicacies. It's an ideal place to experience Korean traditional markets and observe the local prices and lifestyle.
