A Guide to Jeju for the Jeju Heo Clan

Among domestic travel guidebooks, there are an overwhelming number of Jeju guidebooks, introducing various ways to experience Jeju, including the Olle Trail.
However, most of them are focused on famous tourist attractions, limiting access to Jeju's history and culture. Even when traveling by rental car, there is a lack of systematic and in-depth information.
This book claims to be a Jeju guide for rental car users, or 'Jeju Heosi', who travel around Jeju freely by renting a car.
It is also a travel book for domestic and international readers who want to break away from conventional travel patterns and enjoy the depth of Jeju.
This book uncovers Jeju's hidden value by shedding new light on not only its familiar and well-known natural and cultural heritage, but also places that even locals, not only mainlanders but also Jeju residents, have never properly visited or noticed despite being close by.

A New Discovery in Jeju - Is Jeju Island Really Like This?

‘Jeju Travelogue’ is largely composed of five parts.
The first area that appears in 'Jeju Field Trip No. 1' is the area around Jochon and Gujwa in the northeast of Jeju.
This area is a place where you can fully experience the essence of Jeju's nature and culture, including Jeju's oreum represented by Darangshi Oreum, Jeju's religious beliefs as seen in Donji Halmangdang and Gaetgeot Halmangdang, and the diving landscape of Hadori, where one-tenth of Jeju's female divers are still active.
Here, you can also find relics that bear the marks of the April 3rd Incident, an event that cannot be forgotten even if ignored, and which was the most tragic event in Jeju's modern history.


Meanwhile, this region is the kingdom of parasitic volcanoes, or Oreum, which are representative symbols of Jeju's nature.
In particular, you can also see the Geomunoreum Lava Tube System, which played a decisive role in Jeju's registration as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site.
The story of Yongcheon Cave, miraculously discovered while the author was serving as the head of the Cultural Heritage Administration, has given rise to a global recognition and further instilled pride in the value of Jeju's nature.
Also, the episodes of the 'Jeju Samchun' who tell the stories of haenyeo (female divers) in the Jeju dialect are mysterious and interesting stories that only a field trip can tell, not only to mainlanders but also to Jeju people.

Yeongsil, which appears in the second 'Hiking the Upper Seoreum of Hallasan Mountain', is the 'most beautiful place in Jeju' chosen by the author.
Whether it snows or the wind blows, or the flowers bloom or fall, this place is the most beautiful because it allows you to fully experience the entirety of Hallasan Mountain without being a difficult climbing course.
The Yeongsil climbing course passes through the lush forest path as the prelude, the first act is O Baek Jang Gun Peak, the second act is the azalea ridge, the third act is the fir tree grove, and the fourth act is the upper Seoreum, reaching the peak at Baekrokdam.


Even during the breathless climb, the author uses his gift of gab to introduce Baekho Imje's "Nammyeong Soseung" and the legend of Seolmundae Halmang of Obaekjanggunbong, and sings Choi Ik-hyeon's "Yuhallasangi."
When we arrived at the Jindallae Ridge, we spread out our mats and chatted with the Paldo ajummas who came to tour the area, and we created a 'Paldo Ajummasron' that vividly portrays the dialects and spoken language of the Paldo ajummas.
The mountain path also introduces the British botanist Wilson, who created the tree species that is today the main type of Christmas tree by taking the fir tree native to Hallasan Mountain, and Dr. Gente, who was the first to measure the height of Hallasan Mountain.

The third is ‘Pilgrimage to Tamna Kingdom’, which allows us to look back on the history of Tamna Kingdom becoming Jeju Island.
Here, we will introduce the Samseonghyeol and Samyangdong prehistoric sites, where the legend of the birth of the three progenitors of Jeju's Go, Yang, and Bu is intertwined, the remains of the Sambyeolcho, who resisted the Mongols during the Goryeo Dynasty, Gwandeokjeong, one of the oldest buildings in Jeju, Ohyeondan, which enshrines the five sages, and a space honoring the Joseon Dynasty female physician Kim Man-deok.
Gwandeokjeong and Samseonghyeol, widely known as tourist destinations, are not places that attract much attention if you go there without knowing their historical significance or value.
If it were a simple tour without a story, it would be the same anywhere, but especially in Jeju, where there are so many modernized and fancy tourist courses, it would be very likely to pass by such places without much thought.


The author, who believes that “when a legend meets a relic, it acquires a realistic sense of substance, and when a relic meets a legend, it acquires storytelling,” points out that, for example, Samyang-dong Black Sand Beach is famous for its sand bathing, which is visited by many tourists from the mainland and even Japanese tourists, but very few people visit the prehistoric site just above it, and says that the reason for this is the excessive academic caution and solemnity of scholars.
Also, when entering the space to look back on Grandmother Kim Man-deok, who has received public attention with the creation of the Kim Man-deok Memorial Society and the production of a standard portrait, the tomb itself is left shabbily neglected, and a huge memorial tower has been erected, giving the impression that the roles of the subject and object have been reversed.

The passages that express regret over the current state of the front yard of Gwandeokjeong, which should serve as a plaza as the heart of Jeju, the advice on the preservation method of the Jeju Mok government office, which has been restored like a theme park but entry is prohibited, and the lament over the appearance of Ohyeondan, where modern steles are crowded next to the original five simple and modest steles, and the regret over the lack of awareness of cultural heritage administration and local governments that still have a long way to go, make us reflect.

The fourth region is the 'southwest of Jeju', including the Sanbangsan area where traces of Hamel and Seo Bok remain, the Songaksan area with the Japanese military camp cave and the Altteureu airfield, Daejeong where Chusa was exiled, and the Moseulpo area where the Jeju Chusa Museum is located and close to Daejeonghyanggyo and Daejeong-eupseong Fortress.
In this region, the author of 『Wandangpyeongjeon』 introduces an interesting episode from his experience rebuilding the Jeju Chusa Museum while serving as the head of the Cultural Heritage Administration, based on his extensive knowledge of Kim Jeong-hui.


In the final episode, 'From Gasiri to Donnae-ko', the journey concludes with a visit to Jeju horses, a native chicken village, and a monument to Koreans in Japan.
Here, we introduce two key figures who inspired the author, Seok Ju-myeong, the “Butterfly Doctor,” and Japanese anthropologist Izumi Seiichi, who aimed to develop “Jeju Studies” by focusing on Jeju’s nature, culture, religion, language, and history.
This book tells the stories of countless people who shaped Jeju into what it is today, but the stories of these two people are particularly unique and meaningful.


A new level of 'travelogue'

Professor Yoo Hong-jun's delicate perspective and profound humanistic interpretation, which have awakened and revitalized the value of cultural heritage that has been overlooked and under-examined, extend not only to cultural heritage but also to Jeju's nature, folklore, and language in this Jeju edition.
The author states that while previous travelogues focused on cultural heritage, this travelogue seeks both breadth and depth, ultimately hoping to become the cornerstone of 'Jeju Studies.'
We hope that the Jeju edition of the travelogue, "Tangerine Edition," which has been given a new look, will provide a refreshing travel experience to all readers thirsty for new vitality in their daily lives.
