"There is an area with an environmentally friendly shower area, camp fire, communal kitchen and camping site. As a natural forest, it is a habitat for various wild fauna and flora." - Jeju Tourism site

Jinny's comment: If you enjoyed the recreation forests that I've recommended in this blog, you will also like Seogwipo Natural Recreation Forest. It's a great place for a short walk and for camping. I mostly went here with my family for a short walk and it was nice, but was always slightly crowded with tourists. However, the camping sites are located few feats away from the tracks, so you can enjoy camping without noise.

From what I've heard, Hanwha Aqua Planet is the biggest Aquarium in Asia. They have variety of sea mammals and fishes. I was very intrigued about the whale shark when I visited here (I herd that the aquarium sent the whale back to the ocean). There is also a tunnel made with glass that you go through as shown in the photo below. I strongly recommend this aquarium for people who have children.
