If you want to experience the local life of the Jeju people, you must go visit their traditional market, they hold a traditional market every month’s 2, 7, 12, 17, 22, and 27. Because the market comes out every other 5 days, so it is called “5 days traditional market”.  This place not only attracts locals but also many tourists. Since it occupied a big area, it divided into fruits and vegetables, meat and fish, clothing and flowers sections, as well as some old lady homemade  desserts, snacks, ginseng, grilled seaweed, kimchi sauce, and citron tea. However, you cannot bargain in this market. Because the market holds only once in a five days, so there are many crowds. From medicine to groceries, no matter food or dailey products are closer to the Jeju people's lives.

++ 신비의 도로 (Dokkaebi Road) ++

Dokkaebi Road is also called Mysterious Road in English, lies on a hill at the foot of a mountain, and connects two major highways on Jejudo Island. It has earned its name, as objects and liquid appear to roll and flow up the hill instead of down, in the past, people said that there is ghost pulling up everything, in fact, that is because of gravity. such image of gravity defiance is an optical illusion rendered by the seemingly high surroundings. 

It looks going uphill, but it is DOWNHILL!!!!  Amazing!!!
