Cheju Island Entertainment Guide

Thanks to the fact that Cheju is quite a major tourist destination, you’ll be able to find quite an array of eating options on the island. There are restaurants and bars attached to the hotels and resorts, and there are plenty of stand-alone outlets too. Although Korean food is the dominant cuisine on offer, some outlets- especially the larger and more fancy ones- serve international cuisines such as Chinese, Japanese and American fast food. If you’re fond of seafood, then you certainly must visit some of the beachside restaurants- most of them serve excellent seafood.

Cheju isn’t great for entertainment, but you should be able to find some recreation in hotels and resorts- many of them offer live shows, which go all the way from traditional cultural performances to Western-style entertainment. There are a few venues, other than these, which sometimes have cultural shows- keep an eye on the `listings’ section of the local newspapers, or ask at the local Tourist Information Centre, for details on where you can get to see what.

For sports lovers, Cheju can be quite a fulfilling experience- there’s lots of opportunity to go trekking and climbing in the mountains and caves of the island, and water sports galore along the beaches.
