Introducing Jeju-si
Jeju-si (Jeju City), the island’s capital, sits at the middle of the north coast. The city centre, a mere 4km east of Jeju airport, is hardly glam but does have a few historic structures, a large market, the Chilseongno shopping precinct and lively student bars and restaurants opposite the old city hall. The seafront has no beach but still manages a seaside atmosphere in summer with a funfair and swimming pool. A new suburb, Sinjeju, has midrange hotels but little else.
