Starfield COEX Mall

As the largest underground shopping mall in Asia, COEX Mall is generally considered to be one of the best places to go for shopping. The stores in the multi-fashion square feature trendy fashions targeted at younger customers, but there are plenty of shops geared towards people of all ages.

You can enjoy shopping at COEX whether you've got money to blow or are just passing by for some window-shopping. There is also a huge library there.

If you are out with children, a great place to go would be the Aquarium, which also features a play area and Kids Aquarium in addition to the main aquarium. The Kimchi Museum is great for an educational experience and tourists who want to learn more about the history of Korea's most famous dish. Have fun for free at one of the many free exhibitions held throughout the year, or get rid of your change at the video arcade.

Coex Mall reopened on November 27, 2014 after the completion of a large-scale renovation. World-renowned architectural firm Gensler worked to create a vision for change largely centered around a concept called "The Unfolding Sky."

Coex mall is a shopping mecca for global brands in fashion, accessories, beauty, lifestyle, and more. It also has a large movie theater complex and a wide variety of fine dining establishments.

Visit Hallasan 1100 Highland Wetland (Ecological Nature Trail)

Jeju 1,100 Altitude Wetland is a representative highland wetland in Korea. This wetland is of great significance in the Mt. Halla area where surface water is scarce. For its rich wildlife, including various endangered and indigenous species, beautiful landscapes, and geographical features, the wetland has been designated not only as one of the national Wetland Protected Areas.
