An Autumn Jeju Trip Along Silver Miscanthus

Five places, from oreum ridges to seaside decks, to match the way you like to walk

If you want to feel Jeju's autumn slowly, walk along the miscanthus swaying in the wind. We picked five places with different scenery and ways of walking: Saebyeol Oreum in Aewol, Ttarabi Oreum in Pyoseon, Sangumburi and the Dakmureo Coastal Path in Jocheon, and Yongnuni Oreum in Gujwa.

Choosing one or two in the area near your lodging lets you stay without being rushed by travel. Sangumburi is a tourist attraction with an admission fee and set hours, while for the oreums and the coastal path you should check which sections are open for visits that day. The color and density of the miscanthus in the reference photos may differ from the real scenery on your visit day.
Saebyeol Oreum

Saebyeol Oreum

Saebyeol Oreum's Wide Miscanthus Slopes

If you are staying in west Jeju, make Saebyeol Oreum the center of your autumn walk. It is an oreum rising in the mid-mountain area of Aewol, and it is fun to see the miscanthus spread along the slopes from below and then look again after climbing the ridge. Even companions not planning to walk to the summit can enjoy the seasonal scenery around the entrance. As the direction of the sunlight changes, so does the color of the miscanthus, making you want to stay a bit longer in the same spot.

The slopes of the east and west trails are not the same, and the west path is described as steeper. Rather than expecting a flat walk just because it is a short oreum, choose a path to suit your stamina and shoes. On clear days the summit offers views toward the west coast and Biyangdo, but visibility depends on the weather. Use the public parking lot and restrooms at the entrance first, and rather than pushing through the miscanthus, enjoy the scenery from the designated trail.

Ttarabi Oreum

Ttarabi Oreum

Ttarabi Oreum's Craters and Autumn Ridge

If you want to see the curves of a ridge running through miscanthus, choose Ttarabi Oreum in Gasi-ri, Pyoseon-myeon. Thanks to the terrain made by three craters and several peaks, the shape of the view changes each time you change walking direction. Slowly passing the miscanthus path at the start and reaching the summit area, you can look at the surrounding oreums and the fields where wind turbines stand. It suits both photos of a single flower up close and shots of the wide grassland.

The route from the trailhead to the summit and the walk around the crater rim take different amounts of time. Decide first where you will turn back, and bring water and an outer layer. The tourism guide marks it as having no restroom, so it is easier to prepare before you go. You can link it with the Gapmajang Trail for a long trek, but do not think of it as a short walk that automatically includes other courses. Check the on-site signposts and walk within the paths that are open.

Sangumburi Crater

Sangumburi Crater

Sangumburi's Miscanthus Fields and Crater View

If you want to see autumn scenery along a set viewing route, look at Sangumburi in Jocheon-eup. Seeing widely spread miscanthus together with a huge crater gives a different kind of enjoyment from a plan of walking a long oreum ridge. Look at the roadside miscanthus first, then view the size and rim of the crater from the observation deck, and the scenery gains depth. Leave time as well to observe from afar the varied vegetation inside the crater.

Sangumburi is an attraction you enter after buying a ticket. According to tourism information, the individual adult fee is 7,000 won, and discounts and age categories should be checked in the ticketing guide. Last admission is announced as 6 p.m. in September and October and 5 p.m. from November, so it is wise to check the hours again as the season changes. Early closing due to weather is also possible. Do not block the walkway taking miscanthus photos, and rather than going down into the crater, enjoy it from the designated viewing space.

Dakmeori Coastal Trail

Dakmeori Coastal Trail

Miscanthus and Sea on the Dakmureo Coastal Path

If you want to capture the sea and miscanthus in one scene, visit the Dakmureo Coastal Path in Sinchon-ri, Jocheon-eup. Also introduced as Course 50 of the Haeannuri Trail, it links the rocky coastal scenery with wooden decks and a seaside pavilion. Unlike a day climbing a mountain, you can walk close to the horizon feeling the wind. In sections with miscanthus, watch the grass move, and near the pavilion, widen your view toward the sea.

Think separately about walking the whole coastal path and just briefly viewing around the pavilion. Rather than only following the points marked on the map, it is more accurate to check the deck entrance and the passable sections on the signboard on site. On days with strong wind or high waves, do not push down to sections close to the sea. If you want to see the sunset, check the weather and sunset time, and also look at the way back after dark. Take photos from the deck and the designated viewing spaces.

Yongnuni Oreum

Yongnuni Oreum

Looking at East Jeju from Yongnuni Oreum

If you are traveling toward Gujwa and Seongsan, put Yongnuni Oreum's ridge on your list. It is a place to see widely continuing grassland and curves together, rather than climbing quickly by looking at the peak's height. In autumn, miscanthus joins, and on a clear day the view opens toward Seongsan Ilchulbong and Udo. Looking at the texture of the nearby grass and then shifting your gaze to the surrounding oreums, you feel that the terrain of east Jeju connects to one another.

It has a history of a natural rest-year system, and the access restriction was lifted in July 2023, which does not mean every section is open on your visit day. Check the latest visit notices and the closure signs at the entrance, then move along the designated path. If you meet grazing horses, keep your distance and do not approach or feed them. Prepare water and shoes considering even the distance of a loop around the ridge, and on strong-wind or poor-visibility days, leave yourself room to choose another plan over climbing.

On days you want to walk a ridge, pick an oreum; on days you want a short rest with the sea beside you, pick the Dakmureo Coastal Path. The time spent stopping and watching light pass through the miscanthus may stay in your memory longer than reaching the summit.

Access to oreums can change with wildfire prevention, vegetation protection, and weather. Follow the latest closure notices and on-site signposts, and do not go off the trails. With the days getting shorter in this season, it is easier if you leave time to get back while it is still light.
