• Ambiance: 4/5 (Picturesque views and traditional Korean architecture)
• Value: 4/5 (Reasonable entrance fee and a great opportunity for photo ops)
Overall: 4/5
Donkey and I decided to check out Gwandeokjeong after dropping our bags off at our hotel. We cycled over from our hotel, and the entrance fee was only 800 won per person, which we thought was very reasonable.
While the site itself is quite compact, it's packed with history and charm. There are a few buildings clustered together, but each one is beautifully preserved and has a fascinating story to tell. We found it quite impressive that this place dates back to the 15th century. It's also a great spot for taking photos, with picturesque views and traditional Korean architecture.
We also recommend taking a short walk to the nearby Hanbok rental shop called Manman Hanfu. They have a wide range of options, with prices ranging from 20,000 to 45,000 won, depending on your choice. They even provide makeup to help you complete your look. Renting Hanbok is a perfect way to add a fun touch to your photos and create lasting memories. We recommend allocating around 1 hour for this if you are renting hanbok.
Overall, Gwandeokjeong is a worthwhile visit, especially for those interested in Jeju's history. The opportunity to rent Hanbok nearby adds an extra layer of fun to your photos and creates lasting memories.
