Burnt Tree (Burnt Tree)

Located in Seonheul-ri, Jocheon-eup, Jeju, this remarkable zelkova tree tells a story of resilience. It is said that on November 21, 1948, the tree was scorched during a military operation that saw the village burn, yet it miraculously survived by sprouting new life from one side. Today, Burnt Tree presents a striking sight where the charred, dead wood coexists with vibrant, living branches. Alongside it, a Chinese toon tree—the offspring of another tree—has been sprouting and growing in tandem for decades, creating a unique scene of life intertwined with history.

Dreamland Children's Library

The Kumbadang Children's Library was originally a local space where presidents stayed during their visits to Jeju Island. Since its establishment in 1984, it has been used on eleven occasions by former presidents Chun Doo-hwan, Roh Tae-woo, and Kim Young-sam. After being removed from security in 1996, it was also briefly used as the official residence of the Jeju Governor. Returned to the residents of Jeju in 2014, the building, after much discussion, was renovated into the Kumbadang Children's Library in 2017.
