Forest Train Enters the Fairy Tale Forest

Exact address: 1221-1 Daehyeol-ri, Jocheon-eup, Jeju City, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province (Korean address: 제주시 조천읍 대흘리 1221 - 1번지) 🚗 Travel tip: Take a taxi directly to Ecoland 🚖, or take bus 230-1 and get off at Jeju Stone Culture Park Station 🚌 Don’t just come to Jeju Island to see the sea 🌊! The forest train at Ecoland Eco Theme Park is a must-see 🤩 This vintage train, handcrafted in the UK, runs through 300,000 pyeong of Hallasan’s primeval forest 🌳. The five colorful train cars hold Jeju’s ecological secrets — red represents volcanoes 🌋, black is basalt 🗻, yellow symbolizes canola flowers 🌼, green corresponds to greenery 🌱, and blue reflects the blue sky ☁️. Each car is super photogenic 📸! The waterside boardwalk at Eco Bridge Station is incredibly soothing 🌿; the Dutch windmill at Lakeside Station 🎡 is a popular photo spot, giving every shot a European vibe 📽️; the Hobbit House at Picnic Garden Station 🏡 is adorably charming, plus there are rainbow lounge chairs 🌈 and a children’s playground 🎠 where kids can have a blast for an hour ⏰; at Green Tea Rose Garden Station, you can pet the cute Jeju ponies 🐎, buy some carrots to feed them 🥕, and enjoy full interaction 💯. If the season is right, the lavender fields will fill the air with fragrance 💐. The 300,000 pyeong of Hallasan primeval forest in the park is like a natural oxygen bar 🌬️. Sitting by the window on the train 🪟, the breeze carries the fresh scent of plants 🍃, and the gentle rocking rhythm is so healing 😌. Remember to pick up the Chinese version of the guidebook 📖 when you enter. The park is open until 6 PM ⏳, so arriving early lets you leisurely explore all the attractions. Jeju Island’s romance and healing 💕 are half by the sea and half on this forest train ~ Bring your besties 👭 and family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 to this fairy tale rendezvous!

Jeju Island Itinerary Recommendation | World-Class Natural Wonders + Local Food Guide Jeju Island, known as the "green heart" of Korea, is renowned for its natural beauty, unique history and culture, and delicious cuisine! This itinerary includes Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak), Hallasan Mountain, Udo Island, Seongeup Folk Village, O'sulloc Seol Green Tea Museum, Woljeong-ri Beach, and the popular food hub Dongmun Market. Jeju's black pork and seafood are truly unforgettable, and the local citrus desserts make it a foodie's paradise. Especially on a rainy day, sitting at the guesthouse table with a bowl of hot seaweed soup and a few side dishes, surrounded by green trees and natural scenery outside the window, is incredibly soothing. Highlights and Itinerary Recommendations: 1. Seongsan Ilchulbong (성산일출봉) A must-see attraction in Jeju Island! A World Natural Heritage site, the summit offers panoramic views of Udo Island and the magnificent seascape, perfect for a morning hike. The sunrise from the summit is breathtaking, attracting numerous photography enthusiasts every year. 🌄 Address: 284-12, Ilchulbong-ro, Seongsan-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Opening Hours: 07:00-19:00 (Hours may be extended during peak season) 2. Hallasan Mountain (한라산) Korea's highest peak, a paradise for hiking enthusiasts. The scenery is completely different in spring, summer, autumn, and winter, with waterfalls, forests, and unique rock formations along the way. For an easy hike, choose a shorter route (such as Seongpanak-ro), while experienced hikers can challenge themselves to reach the summit. Entrance: Hallasan National Park, Jeju-si Note that opening hours vary depending on the season and weather; it is recommended to check in advance. 3. Udo Island (우도) A super relaxing island day trip option. Rent an electric bicycle to cycle around the island, taking photos of the blue sky and white sand. Don't miss the Udo peanut soft serve, a popular local snack. Udo Pier Address: Udo Passenger Terminal, Goseong-dong, Jeju City 4. Seongeup Folk Village If you want to travel back to Jeju's old days, Seongeup Folk Village is definitely worth a visit. You can learn about Jeju Island's unique residential architecture and lifestyle, as well as learn about the culture of Haenyeo (female divers). Address: 34-1 Seongeup-ri, Jeju City Opening Hours: 09:00-17:00 5. O’sulloc Seol Green Tea Museum A must-visit for tea lovers! A huge tea garden + museum, where you can sample various Jeju tea drinks and citrus cakes. Tea ice cream and matcha cake are super popular! Address: 15 Seol Green Tea Road, Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo-si, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Opening Hours: 09:00-18:00 6. Woljeong-ri Beach (월정리해수욕장) Boasting coral-colored sand and a dreamy cafe, it's a must-visit for artsy types. The sea breeze is incredibly refreshing, perfect for relaxing with coffee, enjoying the sea breeze, and taking photos. Address: Woljeong-ri, Gujae-eup, Jeju-si 7. Dongmun Market (동문시장) A hub for local Jeju Island cuisine! Black pork BBQ, abalone and octopus seafood hot pot, sashimi, and haenyeo (female divers) kimbap – a must-visit for those wanting to indulge in a culinary adventure. Fried chicken, peanut ice cream, and citrus desserts are also must-try! It's recommended to set aside time for dinner and leisurely explore the entire street. Address: Underground shopping street, Samdo 2-dong, Jeju-si Opening Hours: 08:00-21:00 Food Guide + Tips: - Highly recommend the "Jeju Black Pork Street" for its many BBQ restaurants; the meat is incredibly tender! - For seafood hot pot, try Samseonghyeol Restaurant; the broth is rich and the abalone is fresh. - For sashimi, we recommend "Jeju Sashimi Specialty Shop" in Dongmun Market. - When eating haenyeo (female divers) seaweed rice rolls, please be careful not to leave them out for too long; they're best eaten fresh. - Buy Udo peanut soft serve ice cream directly from Udo convenience stores; it's incredibly fragrant and delicious. Transportation Suggestions: Jeju Island's attractions are spread out, so driving or taking a taxi is recommended. Many buses also go to the city center. If you don't plan to drive, use Dongmun Market as a base; it's conveniently located near nearby attractions. The weather is changeable; on rainy days, consider indoor attractions like the O'sulloc Green Tea Museum. Travel Tips: On rainy days in Jeju, warm green soups (like seaweed soup) plus local specialties are very comforting. For hiking or beach trips, be sure to bring a windbreaker and sunscreen, as there's a large temperature difference between day and night. If Udo Island and Hallasan Mountain are closed or the weather is bad, we suggest adjusting your itinerary. #JejuIslandGuide #WorldNaturalHeritage #SeafoodFood #TravelTips #LocalLife
