The Jeju-mok Government Office was a gwana, or regional government office, that historically served as the center of Jeju Island’s political, administrative, and cultural activities, spanning from its early days as the State of Tamna through the Joseon period. A significant portion of the structure was destroyed in a fire in 1434, leading to subsequent rebuilding efforts. From 1991, archeological excavations were conducted in four stages, enabling the meticulous restoration of several key buildings within the complex. These include the Honghwagak Pavilion, Yeonhuigak Pavilion, Uyeondang Pavilion, Gyullimdang Pavilion, and Gwandeokjeong Pavillion, all of which were restored by December 2002. Additionally, the complex is known for hosting annual nighttime events.

Dongmun Traditional Market, steeped in history, stands a quintessential market of Jeju Island. Together with the adjacent Dongmun Traditional Fish Market, it forms the core of Jeju’s most significant and expansive permanent market, established right after Korea’s liberation in August 1945. Originally the island’s only permanent marketplace and a hub for its commercial activities, the market was relocated to its present site after a devastating fire in March 1954. It offers an array of goods such as vegetables, fruits, seafood, medicinal herbs, grains, and clothing. Known for its fresh catch, the market is a go-to place for seafood lovers, offering delicacies like sliced raw cutlassfish at reasonable prices. It’s also gaining popularity for its innovative dishes, including samhap (skate, pork, and kimchi combo) served with rice and abalone intestines, as well as tteokgalbi (grilled galbi patties) accompanied by whole abalone.
