Jeju City is the main gateway to the island, as it contains the island's only airport, and the main port terminal. The inter-city bus terminal runs buses all over the island, making the area a good basecamp for exploring. Shin (New) Cheju, across Hanch'eon Stream and to the southwest, has many new tourist hotels. In and around Jeju City you can find numerous sites to visit. Along the seaside are Dragon Head Rock; the boardwalk area with many seafood restaurants, the Jeju Seaside Art Center, Top Land amusement park, and the fish market; Cheju Port Terminal; and Sara-bong, a scenic cliff-top area from which to watch the sunset. Nearby, you can also find Kwandeokcheong, Jeju Island's oldest pavillion, and next to that lies the remains of the old government building. In the center of the city, near the KAL hotel, Shinsan Park contains Samseonghyeol (the legendary birthplace of the Jeju islanders), Jeju Folklore & Natural Museum, and Olympc Monument. On the southern outskirts you can find the Jeju Education Museum.

Food and Drink:
As a tourist area, all types of restaurants can easily be found here. Many fresh seafood restaurants are located along the boardwalk near the seaside, on Hoejip Street. Given the area's close proximity to the main port, the fish will usually be very fresh.
