1 Oedo Waterway 20-ri
The Oedo Waterway 20-ri is an 8 km water route that begins at Woldaecheon Stream, passing through Woldaecheon Park, Oedo Eco Park, and Woldae Beach before returning to the stream. The tranquil flowing valley waters, towering pine trees, and Japanese hackberry tree habitat combine to create a stunning landscape rarely seen in Jeju.
If you are driving, you can park near Oedo Swimming Pool and take a short walk to reach the starting point, where you'll find the "Oedo Waterway 20-ri" sign. In spring, the green barley waves swaying in the wind are truly breathtaking.

2 Saryeoni Forest Trail MV filming location
Starting from Bijarim-ro, the Saryeoni Forest Trail is a refreshing path that stretches all the way to Mulchadoreum and Saryeonioreum Parasitic Cones. The trail also passes by the Cheonmicheongyegok and Seojungcheongyegok Valleys, allowing visitors to enjoy both forest trails and waterways simultaneously.
As you walk through the forest, the refreshing scent of cedar pleasantly stimulates your senses, and even in the height of summer, you can feel the cool breeze flowing through the trees. In addition to cedar, the forest is home to a variety of other tree species, including jolcham oak, aka-shide, Japanese snowbell, and cypress.
The "Saryeoni Forest Barrier-free Trail," which spans 1.3 km, is designed to be accessible for wheelchairs and strollers. At the end of the trail, you'll find the "Saryeoni Forest Open Stage," where music concerts are held.
