Jeju Stone Park is a blend of nature, culture, and education, insipired by Jeju's rich history. My visit was an unexpected; I stumbled upon it while driving by and decided to visit. It turned out to be a refreshing change from the usual tourist spots. The park is well-suited for visitors with informative English explanations about Jeju's important history. The park is divided into three district couses: 1. Rock Statues, including iconic Harubang Statues 2. Korean History, such as in tombstones, tools, and housing 3. Traditional Jeju-style housing, primarily constructed with volcanic rock walls Each course offers a unique experience and worth to visit for everyone from kids to adults.
If you have short time, choose the course that interest you most. You can always return the way you came if you decided to cut your visit short. Following the entire track can be time-consuming. Mini bus tour is worthy but you can't explore the whole site with it.
