Located in front of the KBS Jeju Broadcasting Station, Garam is best known for its signature set meal of dogfish soup (chueotang) and stone pot rice. The dish comes with healthy side dishes such as cabbage salad, pickles, and sweet pumpkin. You can enjoy the stone pot rice by mixing it into bibimbap or scraping up the crispy scorched rice at the bottom (nurungji). The chueotang is a savory, nourishing broth made with perilla seed powder, known for its clean taste, making it a favorite spot among broadcasting station staff.

Located northwest of Yeonmi Village in Ora-dong, Gasaegi Oreum is a small, conical volcanic cone without a crater. Its north-south ridge is blanketed in a lush forest of dense black pine trees. According to local Feng Shui lore, the nearby Min Oreum represents a mother dog, while Gasaegi Oreum, situated just below, represents her puppy—giving rise to its local nickname. Because the landscape resembles a mother dog and her pup nestled together, the northwestern slopes have long been considered an auspicious site, symbolizing the nurturing breast of a mother dog.

The restaurant uses fresh, locally grown Jeju ingredients, with signature items including Gasi-eomeong Gimbap and Gimbap Lunch Boxes, as well as popular choices like Chungmu-gimbap and Hanwoo (Korean beef) Rice Cake Soup. Many travelers choose to grab these gimbap to go for a convenient meal on the road. Opening early at 7:00 AM, it is also an excellent option for breakfast.

Located east of the Jeju Pony Ranch, Gaeori Oreum is a complex volcanic formation characterized by three distinct peaks of varying sizes.

The volcano features two horseshoe-shaped craters: the larger northern crater and a smaller conical peak in the center known as Saetgaeori. The entire slope is covered in a lush natural forest of deciduous and evergreen trees, interspersed with cedar and pine. During the winter months, the sight of rows of cedar trees against the grayish-brown slopes—stripped of their leaves—creates a striking and ethereal scenery. Due to its resemblance to a stingray (gaori), the mountain is also known by several local names, including Gaori Oreum, Gaewori Oreum, and Gaewol Oreum.
