Located on the western coast of Jeju, Hallim Port is a coastal harbor with a history dating back to the Japanese colonial period, when it served as a fishing base. Today, it plays a vital role in the transport of cargo such as cement and tangerines, and serves as a central hub for the supply of yellow croaker caught near Chuja Island. A unique sight to behold is the bustling scene of fishermen gathering for 'jogiteori' (the traditional process of cleaning yellow croaker) when the catch arrives. Additionally, Hallim Port serves as a key transportation hub where travelers can catch ferries bound for Biyangdo Island.

Myeongwolseongji

WestNature

Located in the Myeongwol-ri and Dongmyeong-ri areas of Hallim-eup, Jeju, Myeongwolseongji is a historic fortress remnant from the Joseon Dynasty. It was originally established in 1510 by Jang Rim, the Magistrate of Jeju, as a wooden fortification to defend against Japanese pirate invasions, and was later rebuilt into a stone fortress. This oval-shaped stone fortress once spanned a circumference of 3,020 cheok with a height of 8 cheok, featuring gates on its eastern, southern, and western sides. Within the walls, a spring provided an abundant water supply for its inhabitants. In recognition of its historical significance, Myeongwolseongji was designated as Jeju-do Monument No. 29 in 1976.
