1 BEECAVE MV filming location
With a 23,140 m² garden featuring sprawling buckwheat fields, hydrangeas, salvias, and more, BEECAVE is widely known as a "Jeju Flower Garden Café." However, the real highlight is the Seonheul Chair Cave, a fairy-tale-like location where you can take stunning photos thanks to its unique terrain, which includes low, narrow caves and openings in the ceiling.
Photo zones are scattered throughout the café, including the cave, flower fields, cabins, and even a bed setup. These areas are accessible with a drink purchase, with the BEECAVE Latte, an ice cream latte made with honey and bee pollen from the café's own beekeeping, being the signature recommendation.

Meochewat Forest Trail offers a vibrant journey through Jeju Island's rich natural beauty, featuring meadows, diverse oreum (monogenetic parasitic cones scattered across the island), and primeval forests. The area harmoniously blends stunning features, including the Seojungcheon Stream, camellia forests, cedar forests, cypress forests, evergreen witch hazel habitat, and Weyrich's azalea habitat.
Three nature-filled trails are available: the Meochewat Forest Trail (2 hours 35 minutes), the Sorongkot Trail (2 hours), and the Seojungcheon Trail (1 hour 40 minutes). As you walk through the forest tunnels of cedar and cypress trees or along the Seojungcheon Stream, the soothing sounds of birdsong and flowing water create a calming, peaceful experience.

4 Sanbangsan Canola Field
From February to April, when the canola flowers bloom, Jeju Island transforms into a sea of yellow. Among the island's many picturesque spots, the Sanbangsan Canola Field stands out as a must-see.
Several canola fields surround Sanbangsan Mountain, and visitors can choose which one to explore. These fields are privately owned and cultivated instead of traditional farming, with a photography fee ranging from KRW 1,000 to 2,000.
You can capture stunning photos of Sanbangsan Mountain as it appears to sit on a golden carpet.

5 Jeju Heukdwaejiwa Jeonbok
This restaurant is a top choice for savoring two of Jeju's iconic specialties-black pork and abalone-in one meal. It was also featured in Level Up!
Project Season 5, a reality show by Red Velvet. Committed to the belief that freshness and quality make the difference, the restaurant carefully selects ingredients such as skin-on black pork belly, water parsley grown on Seogwipo farms, handpicked Jeju bracken dried in April and May, and fresh abalone.
Their signature dish, the Black Pork and Abalone Special, offers a unique grilling experience. On a large lid-style grill, you can enjoy pre-charcoal-grilled black pork belly, abalone, water parsley, bracken, octopus, conch, squid, and more.

6 Jeju Gotjawal Provincial Park
Gotjawal is a Jeju dialect term referring to a unique forest formed by uneven terrain created when volcanic lava fragmented into bumpy landforms. The Jeju Gotjawal Provincial Park spans across Boseong-ri, Gueok-ri, and Sinpyeong-ri in Daejeong-eup, Seogwipo-si, and offers five eco-tourism trails: Teuri, Hansugi, Bille, Ochani, and Gasinang Trails.
These trails allow visitors to immerse themselves in the lush, mystical beauty of the Gotjawal. At the intersection of Teuri, Bille, and Ochani Trails, you'll find the 15 m tall Gotjawal Observatory.
From its vantage point, you can enjoy sweeping views of the Gotjawal and the surrounding landscape. Guided forest tours are held daily at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., accommodating around 15 participants on a first-come, first-served basis.
