Must-see attractions

Namdaemun Market

　　You could spend all day in this swarming night-and-day market and not see it at all. The largest market in Korea, each section has hundreds of stalls, from clothing to handicrafts and accessories. Its market food, though, is the biggest highlight with dozens of stalls selling sujebi (dough and shellfish...

Gwangju Kia Champions Field

　　Catch the Kia Tigers professional baseball team in action from April through November. Stock up on snacks from the street vendors outside the stadium, where prices are cheaper. You’re permitted to bring in food, beer, coolers and cameras. Games usually start at 5pm or 6.30pm. 　　Get the bus from in...

　　Sandy walking trails wend through this bamboo grove, past pavilions and film locations for Korean dramas. It's one of the area's most popular attractions and can get crowded on weekends. But if you get a quiet moment – enough to hear the wind rustle the leaves – it can be...

　　The visual imagery of this temple is a feast for the eyes and, like any exquisite dinner, should be savoured with deliberation. Stone walls supporting multiple levels of buildings notched into the mountainside, combined with mature trees and a trickling creek, create a pleasant sensory experience. Three gates mark the...

　　Jagged ridges, 400m-high peaks, ropes, ladders and awe-inspiring views await travellers looking for a challenging hike. Most travellers disembark the ferry (return ₩10,000, 40 minutes, departs 7.30am, 9.30am, noon, 2pm and 4.10pm) on Saryandgo and catch a bus to the other side of the island to begin the five-hour trek....

Korea Tea Museum

　　Here you can learn more than you ever thought you needed to know about tea, both in Korea and around the world, and also take part in a traditional tea service (₩2000). The museum is a 1km walk up the hill from the parking lot behind the bus stop. ...

Dongdaemun Market

　　The bargaining never stops at this colossal retail and wholesale cluster, best visited at night when local buyers come clamouring for deals. The labyrinthine market buildings comprise some 30,000 retailers; only serious shopaholics need apply. Head to the multilevel Pyounghwa Clothing Market for fashion and accessories (though don't expect haute...

　　The World Heritage–listed fortress wall that encloses the original town of Suwon is what brings most travellers to the city. Snaking up and down Paldal-san (143m), the fortification wall stretches a scenic 5.7km past four majestic gates, command posts, pavilions, observation towers and fire-beacon platforms. Built by King Jeongjo and...

Seongsan Ilchul-bong

　　This majestic 182m-high, extinct tuff volcano, shaped like a giant punchbowl, is one of Jeju-do's most impressive sights and a Unesco World Heritage site. The forested crater is ringed by jagged rocks, though there’s no lake because the rock is porous. From the entrance, climbing the steep stairs to the...

Daehan Dawon Tea Plantation

　　One of Korea's most iconic sights, the Boseong Daehan Dawon Tea Plantation is spectacularly set on a hillside covered with curvy row after row of manicured green tea bushes. It's a popular setting for TV dramas and films. Spring, when the leaves are at their greenest, is the most congenial...

　　Traditional Korean food market. Fun for a wander and peek at local seafood for sale, which you can have cooked up on the spot at small restaurants. It's also a good place to stock up on gamgyul, Jeju's traditional citrus fruit, or to snack on mandu (dumplings), hotteok, odeng and...
