Great Places to Go for Jeju's Nighttime Views

By day, Jeju is often crowded with tourists exploring beautiful beaches and breathtaking scenery. But travelers might miss some of the island's hidden charms if they spend time inside at night. Some places are especially beautiful as night falls.
◆ Hyeopjae Beach

Hyeopjae Beach in the western part of the island offers a range of attractions. Its emerald seawater and white sand along the beach stretching about 200 m attract many visitors, as does a stone tower that creates picturesque scenery. A tiny island called "Biyang Island" is visible in the distance as if it is a mirage.
Though certainly beautiful during the day, at dusk the purple and scarlet hues from sunset come to life. Visitors experience a stunning combination of sky and sea.

◆ Observatory

Jeju Starlight World Park and Planetarium, an observatory, offers clear, close views of stars in the night sky, making it the best place to enjoy Jeju's nighttime views. It is open to everybody who is interested in astronomy. The three-story building has exhibition halls, a 4-D theater and some ride facilities.
Visitors also can identify constellations, watching them through a large dome screen on the ceiling. It is a perfect place to observe the sun during the day and beautiful stars at night.

◆ Saeyeon Bridge

Saeyeon Bridge, which connects Seogwipo with a tiny islet nearby, is the longest pedestrian bridge in the country.

Illuminated with lights of various colors along the bridge at night, it boasts spectacular nighttime views and recently emerged as a hot spot, especially among young couples who want to have romantic outings.
The bridge leads to a park on the islet, which has a small trail perfect for a relaxing stroll.
