Do you want to cycle along Jeju’s glorious coast with the wind in your hair (or helmet)? Then join The Jeju Weekly’s second bike trip from Jeju City to Pyoseon in southeast Jeju over two nights and three days.

This is a fun trip and open to all fitness levels as The Weekly wants to encourage local residents to jump on their bikes through regular bike trips around the island. Cycling is not only kinder on the environment, but it allows you the freedom to explore the coast in all its glory up close — you will also get fit and make new friends!

Hallim Park ÇѸ²°ø¿ø

Fantastic nine theme parks on the 80 acres! Hallim Park was created by President Bong-Gyu Song in 1971 when Mr. Song began planting palm tree seeds across 80 acres of wasteland, dreaming of a green paradise. Along with the palm trees, numerous species of plant grew abundantly and now Hallim Park is visited by more than 1 million tourists every year. The park has nine fantastic themes, including the Palm Tree Avenue which is famous for its magnificent panoramic views and the Korean Natural Monument, Hyeopjaegul and Ssangyonggul caves.
