VISIT JEJU

These days, Jeju is painted with flowers everywhere. Pure white buckwheat blossoms, fragrant roses, vibrant poppies, and lush green forest paths create a breathtaking scene. Jeju, in its most natural state, is more beautiful now than ever. What's more, various flower festivals held across the island add to the joy of your trip. Take a break from your daily routine and step into Jeju’s floral and botanical landscapes.

Wahul Buckwheat Village is a quiet, charming village located in Jocheon-eup. Every spring and autumn, white buckwheat flowers bloom across its fields. The sight of the pure white blossoms spreading like snow over the vast plains is truly spectacular. The wide buckwheat fields, stone walls, and blue skies create Jeju’s signature tranquil atmosphere. If you pose along the narrow paths between the fields, every shot becomes an unforgettable photo.

Every May, Wahul Buckwheat Village hosts the Buckwheat Culture Festival to honor Jacheongbi, a legendary figure. The festival includes food stalls, hands-on experience programs, and more. You can also find buckwheat flowers in other places like Seongeup Folk Village, Boromwat, and Gwangpyeong-ri, known as the “first village below Hallasan.”

In Jocheon-eup, Jeju, there is a garden where beautifully cultivated roses bloom in full splendor. This place, formerly known as “When in Bukchon,” is now called Isle rosa. After paying a small entrance fee, visitors are welcomed into a rose-filled garden bursting with color. Red, white, yellow, and pink roses blend harmoniously with the blue sky, creating a picturesque scene.

The garden features more than 50 varieties of roses, including species imported from Europe. As you walk among climbing roses that drape over fences and arches adorned with blossoms, you might feel as though you've stepped into a scene from The Secret Garden. After the rose season, the garden transforms again with a vibrant display of hydrangeas.

Hangpaduri Hangmong Historic Site is well known for its seasonal waves of flowers. In spring, fields of yellow canola flowers and vivid red poppies bloom, while in the sunny summer months, visitors are greeted by bright sunflowers and delicate cosmos flowers. The red poppies that bloom modestly in front of stone walls are so striking, they often stop passersby in their tracks. Since poppies bloom briefly between May and June, this fleeting beauty can only be enjoyed during this limited season.

Sunflowers blooming against the historic stone walls and cosmos swaying gently in the breeze create photo-perfect scenes that are hard to forget. Beyond its floral charm, Hangpaduri Hangmong Historic Site is a meaningful destination where you can also reflect on Jeju's layered history.

During this season, visitors can admire the white blossoms of Korean crabapple trees, the pink blooms of azaleas, and mountain hydrangeas with delicately speckled petals. Simply walking along the forest trails surrounded by vibrant green leaves and tiny flowers offers a sense of deep inner peace.

This forest is especially ideal for visiting with children. The Children’s Forest Experience Center features a weekend program called Snail Forest twice a month, designed especially for young visitors. There’s also a forest playground filled with refreshing phytoncides, making it a perfect family-friendly destination.
