Saryeoni Frorest is cedar forest. If you want to have a easy walk, this is truly an amazing place to walk. I personally think this is the best forest in Jeju Island. What fascinated me was the view when the weather was foggy (I felt like I was in some kind of a movie scene). I visited twice here and every time I visited, there were few people, so I think people who want to quietly enjoy the nature and the view would really like this forest. For additional information, Saryeoni Forest was selected as "31 hidden beauties of Jeju."

The Jeju Stone Park is great for learning more about Jeju Island, especially about volcanic rocks. There are also three tracking courses for people to walk, which were really nice because there were many different Dol hareubangs craved next to the tracking road. These courses take about 50 minutes to walk. If you walk about 10 minutes from the entrance, you can find a museum that shows how Jeju rocks were formed and how they are used for Jeju's culture.

There are about 2800 nutmeg trees in Bijarim. When you walk about ten minutes, you can find the entrance to the nutmeg tree forest. The course don't have any uphill roads, so anyone can enjoy the walk. I personally loved the part where I could see the oldest nutmeg tree in the forest.
