Jeju Olle is a walking trail made for hikers on Jeju-do, a World Natural Heritage Site designated by UNESCO and Korea’s leading vacation spot. The memorably landscapes of the Jeju sea and Oreum (a type of inactive volcano that looks like a small mountain or hill), stone walls built of black basalt, wild flowers in full bloom at the roadside and the vibrant orange of the mandarin tree farms will lure you into their captivating spell.

What I mean by, ‘saying you’ve climbed the Oreum doesn’t mean you’ve really climbed it’...I mean the real nature of the Oreum... the crops whose colors vary together with thechange of the season, the rain, wind, fog, snow.. if you haven’t experienced these phenomena, you cannot feel the orgasm, the entrancement of the real Oreum.
