Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Jeju City
Jeju is a volcanic island off the southern tip of Korea, and Jeju City is its biggest town, the gateway for most visitors who arrive by air. Behind it stands Hallasan, a shield volcano reaching just under two thousand metres, and its slopes give the whole island a gentle, tilted shape. UNESCO has recognised the lava tubes and the volcanic landscape here, and a sense of dark basalt is everywhere, in the stone walls that divide the fields, in the statues called dol hareubang that stand guard in villages, and in the black rocks of the shoreline.

2. Seogwipo
Seogwipo is the main town on the south coast of Jeju Island, with about a hundred and fifty thousand people, and it faces the open ocean with Mount Halla behind. Jeju is a volcanic island, and the southern coast has some of its finest scenery, with black basalt cliffs, waterfalls and small islands. The town itself is relaxed and pleasant, with a lively harbour, seafood restaurants and an old-fashioned market, the Maeil Olle, where you can buy tangerines, fish and snacks.
