[One Day Walk] Enjoy Walking, Riding, and the Festival of Canola Flowers... Noksan-ro Canola Flower Road

Jeju is currently showcasing a spectacular display of cherry blossoms and canola flowers. When thinking about a trip to Jeju, the famous spring driving spot Noksan-ro is highly recommended. While enjoying the canola flowers from inside the car is nice, it is also great to park the car for a while and walk along the road.

The recommended course is a 10km section from the entrance of Noksan-ro in Gasi-ri Village, Seogwipo. It was selected as one of the "100 Beautiful Roads of Korea." This road passes through Noksanjang and Gapmajang, the best horse ranches of the Joseon Dynasty, and is currently one of Jeju’s most scenic canola flower roads. The core section is about 4.1km from Gasi-ri Village to the Jeongseok Aviation Museum. The Jeongseok Aviation Museum is an aviation-related exhibition hall operated by Korean Air. It displays aircraft models, black boxes, aircraft parts, and more.

You can experience horseback riding at Ttarabi Riding Arena within the Jorangmal Experience Park.

Within the Canola Flower Plaza, there is a large canola flower colony, and you can also see a lighthouse resembling the wind turbines of the nearby wind power plant. You can also enjoy Jeju’s beautiful natural scenery such as Ttarabi Oreum and Keunsaseum-i Oreum.
