Gimnyeong Maze Park 김녕미로공원
Gimnyeong Maze Park on the island of Jeju (Cheju) is a fun experience for visitors to the island. The maze was the brainchild of the American professor Frederic H. Dustin, a long-term teacher at Cheju National University.
 |
| Gimnyeong Maze Park, Jeju |
Shape
The maze is in the shape of the Jeju Island and has a number of symbols of this beautiful island embedded in its layout: a serpent, an historic object of worship on the island until recently, Jeju horses first brought here by Mongolian invaders in the 13th century; the Sparrowhawk, shipwrecked on Jeju along with Dutch mariner Hendrick Hamel and Bronze Age dolmens.
 |
| Gimnyeong Maze Park, Jeju |
Challenge
The Gimnyeong Maze is quite a challenge to get out of and some visitors have been known to take an hour to exit or have been forced to call for help. Usually, though 20 minutes is enough to navigate yourself around the immaculately kept hedges.
 |
| 김녕미로공원 |
Bell
Ring the bell when you finally get out. Gimnyeong Maze Park can easily be visited on a half day or full day taxi tour from either Jeju City or Seogwipo taking in the nearby Manjanggul Cave and Gimnyeongsagul Cave.

Chinese Refugee Boat in Jeju City
A quirky tourist attraction in Jeju city on the island of Jeju (Cheju) in South Korea is a Chinese junk on the waterfront in which around 100 Chinese families fled civil unrest in China in 1950.
 |
| Chinese Refugee Boat in Jeju City |
Tour
For a nominal fee visitors can tour the reconstructed boat to see how the Chinese asylum seekers fled the turmoil of their own country to find sanctuary in South Korea.
The boat is a short walk north of Dongmun Market towards Raw Fish Town and the port.
Jeju is home to a number of immigrants and their families who left China for a better life in Korea in the 1940s and 1950s.
