Jeju
City is the main gateway to the
island, as it contains the
island's only airport, and the
main port terminal. The inter-city
bus terminal runs buses all over
the island, making the area a good
basecamp for exploring. Shin (New)
Cheju, across Hanch'eon Stream and
to the southwest, has many new
tourist hotels.
In and around Jeju City you can
find numerous sites to visit.
Along the seaside are Dragon Head
Rock; the boardwalk area with many
seafood restaurants, the Jeju
Seaside Art Center, Top Land
amusement park, and the fish
market; Cheju Port Terminal; and Sara-bong,
a scenic cliff-top area from which
to watch the sunset. Nearby, you
can also find Kwandeokcheong,
Jeju Island's oldest pavillion,
and next to that lies the remains
of the old government building. In
the center of the city, near the
KAL hotel, Shinsan Park contains Samseonghyeol
(the legendary birthplace of the
Jeju islanders), Jeju Folklore
& Natural Museum, and Olympc
Monument. On the southern
outskirts you can find the Jeju
Education Museum.
