A salt-tinged breeze pushes across the car window as you drive east from Jeju Airport, citrus groves flashing orange against black volcanic rock. The day opens at Gwaneumsa Temple—quiet stone courtyards and a slow ritual pace—before the route threads through thatched roofs at Seongeup Folk Village and spills onto the volcanic slopes of Seongsan Ilchulbong.
