Aqua Planet Jeju is located on the coast of Seopjikoji in eastern Jeju Island and is one of the leading large-scale aquariums in South Korea. The venue consists of three main themed areas: the aquarium zone, the marine theater, and the marine science museum. Covering over 20,000 m² and holding tens of thousands of tons of water, it houses tens of thousands of marine creatures of hundreds of species, from sand tiger sharks and rays to penguins, seals, and walruses, offering a remarkably dense array of attractions. Observe various local fish and experience the beauty of Jeju Island's ocean. Walk through the underwater tunnel and observe aquatic life living freely. Touch and pet underwater creatures with your child in the touch pool. Aqua Planet Jeju covers an area of approx. 25,600 m², with a total aquarium capacity of approx. 10,800 t. The aquarium displays tens of thousands of creatures in total, including six dolphins, giant sharks, and red snapper. The aquarium has three floors in total: one underground and two above ground. Visitors enter from the second-floor entrance. The second floor recreates the "Jeju Island and the Five Oceans"—the Arctic Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Southern Ocean—and displays representative creatures from each ocean. The theme of the first floor is "a wonderful encounter between ocean and jungle," where visitors can view seals, penguins, and other creatures in three dimensions. Inside the aquarium, dense trees and jungle create a refreshing and delightful scene. In addition, the "Ocean Adventure" area offers visitors the chance to experience a tropical rainforest adventure. The first floor also has a touch pool where children can reach into the water after finishing "Ocean Adventure" and get up close to marine life such as sharks, conchs, and starfish. The basement level houses the main pool, known as the "3D (IMAX) Sea" of Aqua Planet Jeju. This pool, called the "Sea of Jeju Island," is 23 m long and 8.5 m high, and it takes a full two weeks to fill. The breathtaking scenery makes visitors feel as if they are inside a 3D movie. To better withstand the enormous water pressure, the pool is made of 60 cm thick acrylic panels. △Fantasy world. We sincerely invite you toThe ocean, a fantasy world where everything from exciting song and dance to diving becomes reality! △Main tank feeding time. The Jeju Aquarium's massive main tank, "Jeju Sea," has a feeding time where you can watch stingrays gliding gracefully through the water while interesting ecological stories are shared.

Udo

4.7/5
1.9k reviews

Udo, known by various names such as Coral Island, Haenyeo Island, and Lighthouse Island, is a small island located in the eastern part of Jeju. The island is shaped like a lying cow, hence the name Udo, which means "Cow Island." Apart from the parasitic volcano Udobong of Hallasan, the island is generally flat, with steep cliffs where it meets the sea. 80% of the filming for Jeon Do-yeon's "My Mother, the Mermaid" took place on Udo. Choi Ji-woo's "Now and Forever" and Jun Ji-hyun's "Il Mare" also featured scenes shot on Udo, making it one of Jeju's representative tourist attractions. The peak standing on the flat land of Udo is Udobong. Its unique height offers a panoramic view of Udo and even a glimpse of Seongsan Ilchulbong. Climbing up the slope along the fence to the top, you arrive at the white lighthouse. The path connecting the lawn and the reed field seems more charming than the view from the top of the lighthouse. A few cows scattered among the bushes remind visitors of the island's name. Unknown wildflowers sway in the wind, creating a romantic scene akin to a lyrical poem. There are also miniature models of lighthouses such as the Sokcho Lighthouse and the Pagoda Lighthouse on display here. The path to the lighthouse is quite steep, making it unsuitable for the elderly or infirm to climb. Additionally, "Udo Eight Views" are the representative landscapes of Udo, including four pairs of scenes: Day and Night (Daytime Moon, Night Fishing Sails), Heaven and Earth (Tianjin Mountain View, Dito Green Sand), Front and Back (Front Port Island View, Back Sea Cliff), East and West (East Coast Whale Cave, West Beach White Sand). The Back Sea Cliff and East Coast Whale Cave, part of the Udo Eight Views, are located under the towering Udobong. The Back Sea Cliff is 20 meters high and 30 meters wide, surrounding the Black Sand Beach, famous for its black sand. The East Coast Whale Cave, located at the end of the beach, is one of Udo's famous caves, named for its capacity to hold eastern whales, also known as "Nose Cave." The entrance to the East Coast Whale Cave is visible only at low tide. Enjoying the outside sky and sea view from inside the cave offers a unique experience.

Outing Garden A spacious golden lawn where you can fully enjoy the pleasures of an outing. This station features a children's play area for kids and an eco-trail that offers unique experiences only found in ecological parks. Lavender, Green Tea & Rose Garden Station Opened to the public in 2013, visitors crossing the Garden Bridge after disembarking the train are greeted by a European-style garden featuring aromatic herbs, roses, and green tea.

Hamdeok Beach

4.8/5

Hamdeok Beach is located in the northeastern part of Jeju Island. Due to its proximity to Seoubong Peak, it is also known as Hamdeok Beach. It is famous for its white sandy beach and emerald-colored water, and is known as the Maldives of South Korea, making it one of the representative beaches on Jeju Island. Tall palm trees at the entrance sway in the sea breeze, and the water is so clear that you can see the sand and seaweed on the seabed. The water is shallow and the sand is fine, making it suitable for swimming and family-friendly water play. There is an offshore boardwalk on the west side of the beach, where you can stroll and enjoy the ocean view. The white lighthouse on the basalt coast guides fishing boats and is also a great place to watch the sunset. Nearby Seoubong Peak is covered with golden canola flowers in spring and is lush green in summer. You can hike to the top along the trail to overlook the entire bay, and on clear days, you can even see Hallasan National Park in the distance. The ocean-facing lawn nearby is suitable for picnics and relaxation. Jeju Olle Trail Route 19 passes through here, allowing visitors to hike along the coast or experience activities such as surfing, jet skiing, and banana boating. There is also a pet-friendly beach area, making it convenient for visitors to bring their dogs to enjoy the water. Even if you don't participate in water activities, you can take a walk along the coast, splash in the waves, enjoy the sunset, and experience the coastal scenery of Jeju Island.

Teddy Bear Museum

Teddy Bear Museum showcases the century-old teddy bear culture, featuring limited-edition teddy bears from around the world. This visual feast transports visitors back to the innocence of childhood. The museum is located at the entrance of Jungmun Tourist Area in Seogwipo. As soon as you enter, you'll be greeted by a pair of teddy bear newlyweds bowing in welcome. The murals near the entrance all feature teddy bear themes, with some showcasing the rich history of teddy bears. We recommend taking time to appreciate these before exploring further. The museum is divided into indoor and outdoor sections. The indoor area mainly consists of the History Hall on the 1st floor, showcasing major historical events featuring teddy bears from their creation 100 years ago to the present. This includes large-scale historical scenes with teddy bears, antique-style teddy bears, and teddy bears depicting historical figures. Visitors can see teddy bear recreations of significant events like Hong Kong's handover, the Terracotta Army, the moon landing, D-Day, the Titanic, the Berlin Wall, and the opening of Disneyland. The 2nd floor Art Gallery displays teddy bears used in the Korean drama "Princess Hours," a teddy bear adorned with 125-carat gemstones, and a Louis Vuitton teddy bear worth approximately ¥1.3 million. The outdoor exhibition hall is Teddy Lin Theme Park. Here you'll find a round plaza recreating 1950s Pontiac cars and architecture, a polar bear family enjoying water play, picnic families, Asian black bear families, and the Fountain of Love where teddy bears hold wedding ceremonies. Every hour on the hour, a pair of adorable bears emerges from the clock tower! When you get tired from walking, don't forget to sit down for a cute photo with the bears. If you want to enjoy Jeju Island's scenery while savoring delicious food, you can also visit the fast food restaurant, café, or bar inside the museum. The fast food is affordably priced, with tasty burgers and ice cream that are quite popular among visitors.

I visited Jeju Island during my trip to South Korea. Located in southwestern South Korea, Jeju Island is the largest island in the country and its only special autonomous province. The direct flight from Guangzhou to Jeju Island takes about two and a half hours. Jeju Island is famous for its volcanic landscape and mild climate, earning it the nickname "Korea's Hawaii." In 2007, its natural landscapes, including Hallasan Mountain and lava caves, were listed as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. Famous attractions on the island include Hallasan Mountain, lava caves, Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak, and the Olle Trails, among others.

Fun! Great for taking photos both indoors and outdoors! The indoor area is mainly for taking pictures of comics, and there are also stamps and "worry-relief notes." The outdoor area is large, perfect for relaxing and strolling around. The only downside was that we got a bit lost towards the end; we were planning to leave at 13:50 but didn't get out until 14:10 because we couldn't find our way, the map wasn't very clear, and our phones didn't have GPS, so we just wandered around. But the flaws don't detract from the overall experience! It was fantastic! Regarding the indoor restaurant, I ordered the omelet rice, which was just okay, a bit too sweet for my taste. The Snoopy orange juice was 6000 won; only after buying it did I see on Xiaohongshu (a Chinese social media platform) that the apple juice next door was 7000 won and came with a Snoopy bottle opener—buy that one, don't buy this one.

The island has its own unique atmosphere that you won’t find on Jeju or on the Korean mainland. You can circle the island on an electric bike in 4–5 hours, but I’d dedicate a whole day to this trip. And be sure to try the local culinary delights.

You can try riding the miniature train 🚄. It's a small ecological park. There aren't many things, but the ecology is so good, there are lots of small flying insects. Only the area with horses and sheep is suitable for children. The flowerbeds are also good for taking pictures.

It's a pity that it was a rainy day☔️There is a long beach here and there are different water sports to enjoy. There are also many unique boutique souvenir shops and coffee shops nearby. You can enjoy breakfast and coffee while looking at the sea view. It is very healing and relaxing. It is a very Chill experience and you can have half a day of leisure. 😌

Sunshine, sand and waves. The dream trip to the ocean is just a matter of time. Warm spring is the best season. The sea breeze is the best weather. There are things to play, things to watch and things to enjoy. It's beautiful and fun.

It was actually quite good. I was a bit confused before going, and somehow I ended up there by mistake, but then it started raining heavily. They even refunded some money, but the problem is that even with the refund, the previous issues were gone. The Pikachu bumper cars were really perfunctory. In the previous game, everyone was catching Pikachu, but in our game, the person in the rush didn't even bother with the NPCs, which was really bad.

🎀 Jeju Island Jungmun Teddy Bear Museum Review 🎀 🚶‍♀️Super convenient location! Just near the Shilla Hotel, within walking distance, perfect for families with kids to visit on the way! 🤔My impressions: The museum isn't very big; a quick tour wasn't enough for me 😅 (I heard the other branches are even better!) The highlight is the DIY area! You can make your own personalized teddy bear 🧸 The creative painting area is so much fun! The parody versions of famous paintings like the Mona Lisa Bear and the Starry Night Bear are hilarious! I recommend allowing extra time for children to create here ✏️ ⚠️Disadvantages: The restaurant was practically empty. Make sure to wear sunscreen in the outdoor areas 🌞 If you're not a die-hard teddy bear fan, you might be a little disappointed. 💡Visit tips: Suitable for families/couples to take photos. I suggest combining it with nearby attractions. 1-2 hours is enough.

Aewol-eup is a well-known tourist destination in northwestern Jeju Island, South Korea, famous for its coastal scenery, sunset cafes, and cliffside walkways. Enjoying the sea view, sipping coffee, and eating oranges in Aewol-eup is a true pleasure of life. The refreshing sea breeze laps against the shore, caressing the faces of tourists, and many take photos here, creating very photogenic spots.
