Mazeland is great for family trips! When I visited here, the facilities were all clean and new. I went here with my dog and the employees were all kind to her. This was the part that I was very impressed.  Most tour sights in the island don't permit dogs, but this place was different. I herd that the founder of maze land fed stray cats here in Mazeland and loved animals (one reason why I think all the employees were nice my dog). If you have a dog, I enthusiastically recommend here. 

Apart form dogs, the mazes are very well made. It takes at least 1 ~ 2 hours to finish all mazes (there are two in total). If you don't have enough time, I recommend you to walk the stone maze. There is also a museum that has various puzzle games, which is also quite good.

Songaksan Mountain

Admission Fee: Free
Parking Facilities: Available

Songaksan Mountain is a great place to have a long and refreshing walk. Near the mountain, there is a trail, which I think is part of the Olle trail. This trail leads you around the cliff and to the crater, where you can see the overview of the island. If you can, I recommend you to walk to the end of the trail because the view is amazing. Also, as Songaksan Mountain is close to the ocean, this place is better to visit when it's less windy.

*Pets are allowed in Seongeup Folk Village (collar and pet waste bags required).

How to go to Seongeup Folk Village:

You can take the intercity bus from the intercity bus terminal and get off at Seongeup-ri (성읍리). After you walk about 200m, you will reach here. The bus ride takes about 1hr and 40min, so don't really recommend it. However, the distance is shorter when you ride the Dongilju bus, which takes about 45 minutes (the place where you take off is the same).

Seongeup Folk Village is a great place to not only learn about the Jeju culture, but also Korean culture in general. Unlike most of the folk villages, people live in Seongeup Folk Village, which makes here more special. When you look around, you will see houses with roofs made by straws and dol hareubangs standing. You can also eat the Jeju-traditional food, "Bingtteok" when you visit one of the houses. This place is full of culture. Renting a straw-roofed house is also available, which costs about 40,000 to 80,000.

Soesokkak is where you can de-stress by walking around or taking a leisurely ride. As this place is not a well-known tours sight, it is quiet and peaceful. This is one reason why I like here. If you take the bus (information written below), you can directly walk to where the upstream starts and continue to walk or ride downwards. At the end, you will spot the ocean and sometimes spot dolphins!

Although I recommend you to go here during spring or summer, it is also nice to visit here during the winter because most of the trees in Soesokkak are green all year. 

You can ride bus 100 to Jeju Intercity Bus Terminal from Jeju International Airport or take bus for Namjo - ro (bus 730) from the terminal or take bus 700 from the eastern part of Jeju (e.g. Pyoseon, Seongsanpo). Get off at Dure Villa station and walk to the bridge that is located near the station (takes about 15 minutes to reach to Soesokkak). You can just ride a taxi too.

Even though this place is called "tea museum",  it's more like a cafe. When you first enter the museum, you can look at different kinds of green teas, but this section is really short. I personally hope this portion of the museum can be expanded. After this section, there is a gift shop and a cafe. I recommend O'sulloc cleansing foam and Green tea with adzuki beans. They are really good! When you go out the building there is a cosmetic shop (innisfree) too. 

I really enjoyed the grass field next to the tea museum (you can go here when you turn left from the entrance).

"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.
