Want to see the traditional life of Jeju Island local residents? The architectural design of the traditional house is still well maintained and open for you to explore in Seongeup Folk Village, about an hour outside of Jeju City. You will experience a unique experience where you will walk through the narrow lanes and roam the restaurants and shops amid the lumps of smoke from the wood burning stove.

Not to Jeju Island if you have not tried Olle Trail (Olle line). In traditional Jeju dialect, Olle means a narrow road that runs from the front door to the street. Currently, Olle refers to an integrated path of 26 well-marked hiking trails that are spread evenly across the island. The length of the lane varies between 7-23 kilometers. Each lane offers its own beauty. From the path to walk around the farm and orange groves, across narrow zigzag passageways, passing a modest house with a thatched roof over a rocky beach carved from a black lava stone. Cool!
