Jeju Island Stone Park

Jeju Island Stone Park offers open space exhibitions of old sculpted stones.

Jeju Island Stone Park is a great place to stroll around and experience ancient (and new) stone sculptures handed-down from one generation to the next by Jeju people. The park is also perfect for a serene exploration with views (the sea, mountain top, islands) embracing the famous island.

Jeju Island Stone Park sits on flatland in Jeoscheon-eup. Most of its inspiration came from the traditional culture and developed into this attraction employing the recent artistic plans in establishing the park for all to see and enjoy.

The park's theme points to Jeju Island's identity and foundation based on the mythical stories of Seolmundae Halmang (the Grandma Seolmundae), who was believed to be the creator of Jeju Island and the 500 stone generals called "Obaek Janggun."

With the influx of modern thoughts and business attractions, there are not many traditional and cultural sites except for this park. Most spaces, parks, and attractions relate to nature and modern attractions, but this is the only few sites where one can learn glimpses of Jeju's historical background.

Features & Facilities

Jeju Island Stone Park has a total of over 900 square meters only. Most of the sculptures represent the traditional shape of a grandfather called 'harubang' or halbang in Jeju's language.

(By the way, although Jeju people speak and use the Korean language, they use many terms not commonly used on the mainland).

The stone sculptures spread over the park's grassy space so visitors can easily explore them under the blue sky (if not raining) and with the refreshing sea breeze endlessly flowing.

Aside from the outdoor sculptures and nature, you can as well explore and examine additional displays at...

Jeju Stone Museum
Jeju Stone Culture Exhibition Hall
Outdoor Exhibition Hall
Traditional Jeju Houses,
