Samseonghyeol feels like going back in time. The facilities are well kept, clean and felt very peaceful. Inside one of the buildings there are exhibits explaining the beliefs of how the island came about, it was interesting to learn. It was a quick and peaceful stroll. I enjoyed my time here

Though a fee is required to enter. The place has a historical significance to Jeju. The cherry blossom trees here are popular for photography due to its low branches. Be prepared to queue for pictures.

Very mythical and exciting place for me. According to legend this is where the first rulers of Jeju emerged. So this is historic and sacred. There are plenty to see. Temple, museum, video about the island's creations and the pillars itself and hole where the 3 brothers appeared.

A relaxed little shrine and exhibition. It’s very calm and has a nice walking trail. Not *too* much to see here, but it’s also quite cheap at only 4,000 won (~$3) per ticket. They have some interesting statues and information about the local mythology and significance of the shrine. Worth popping in at while out and about sightseeing.

After the video we walked around the grounds which were stunning ...
