Jeju's Remarkable History

Although Jeju was once a barren land, it was not filled only with hardship. Based on the wisdom and location of the island's ancestors, maritime trade brought prosperity and a small but remarkable kingdom was created.

Tracing the path of history and culture (A trip to Jeju’s original downtown)

If you want to feel the breath of Jeju’s history and culture in this original downtown area, here is a list of places, from the Jeju-mok Government Office to Ohyeodan Altar, that deserve a visit.

A painful history: Examining Jeju’s April 3rd Incident

There’s plenty of beauty to Jeju Island, but some of its more recent history is layered in tragedy. The April 3rd Incident is one of these cases. It dates back some 60 years but its lasting effects are felt today.

From Muobeopjeongsa Temple to Donnaeko Valley, (Walking along Dongbaek-gil Trail)

On Hallasan Mountain, a mountain that represents Jeju, there is the Halla Trail, a fantastical forest path where you can meet nature. The Halla Trail, which surrounds the national forest that sits 600 to 800m above sea level, is an 80km-long forest path that connects Muobeopjeongsa, Sioreum Parasitic Cone, Suakgyo Valley, and Iseungak (Iseungi Volcanic Cone) by using a logistics road and forest trail built during the Japanese occupation of Korea and a transport road for shiitake mushroom farms. For some, Halla Trail is a place to experience the history, ecology, and forest culture of Jeju, whereas, for others, it is a place to heal the difficulties of everyday life. Among the various Halla Trails, we introduce Dongbaek-gil Trail where you can heal with nature and view the history and ecology of Jeju from a diverse perspective.
