Seongeup Folk Village

Located about 8km north of Pyoseon-ri at the foot of Hallasan Mountain, Seongeup Village once served as the capital of Jeongui-hyeon during the era when Jeju was divided into three administrative districts (1410–1914). Today, it is a designated folk village that meticulously preserves the traditional architectural landscape and cultural heritage of old Jeju. Visitors can explore a wealth of tangible heritage, including traditional thatched houses, Confucian academies, historic government offices, Dolharubang statues, stone millstones, fortress walls, and monuments. The village also breathes with intangible traditions, such as local folk songs, traditional games, regional cuisine, folk crafts, and the unique Jeju dialect. Ancient zelkova and hackberry trees, some hundreds of years old, stand as proud witnesses to its five-century history as a capital. As one of the best-preserved sites for traditional thatched-roof houses, Seongeup Folk Village offers a rare opportunity to see residents living in authentic traditional homes and to experience the 'tongsi'—Jeju's unique traditional outdoor toilet. The harmonious blend of ancient trees, stone walls, and historic fortress ruins creates an elegant atmosphere that vividly showcases its storied past.

Haumokdong Port

Located in the sea south of Seongsan Ilchulbong, Udo Island is a destination visited by many every year to enjoy its beautiful scenery. There are two ports on this island: Cheonjin Port, the gateway to Udo, and Haumokdong Port, located in the middle of the island. Although smaller than Cheonjin Port, it has the advantage of being close to Seobinbaeksa, where white coral washes up on the shore. When returning to the main island, you can use your purchased ticket to board a boat at either Haumokdong Port or Cheonjin Port; if you arrived via Cheonjin Port, you might consider using Haumokdong Port for your return. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes from Seongsan Port and Jongdal Port.

Ojo Port

Nestled within a tranquil and quiet village, Ojo Port offers a breathtaking view of Seongsan Ilchulbong rising above the sea. The name 'Ojo' carries the poetic meaning, "the sun shines upon me first when it rises over Ilchulbong." The area features lovely walking trails, perfect for enjoying a leisurely stroll while soaking in the unique scenery. A wooden bridge connected to Ojo-ri Village allows visitors to feel as if they are walking directly on the ocean. As part of the Jeju Olle Route 2, it is a popular stop for hikers looking to pause and admire the harmonious blend of the sea and Seongsan Ilchulbong. For an even better vantage point, hikers can climb the nearby Siksanbong Peak to enjoy the sweeping views amidst lush greenery and fresh air. While it may lack flashy attractions, the seamless harmony between the sea, the iconic peak, and the surrounding natural landscape makes Ojo Port a perfect place to experience the peaceful charm of a Jeju coastal village.
