Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Unique geographical nature reserve called Gotjawal is Jeju local language stands for forest(곶;Got) and thorn bushs on rock(자왈;jawal). The area is kept 10-15 degrees celsius throughout the year, making Summer cool and Winter warm where tropical Northern hemisphere plants and frigid Southern hemisphere plants can coexist.
There are four main Gotjawal terrain in Jeju Island, this is the one in the South-West area. They also have a guided tour around this Gotjawal forest which you can explore the area with it's own story. The thing is, they only have Korean tour so far, so you might want to speak Korean or request them to open up an English tour.

Was recommended by the people at my resort to visit this place. Reason being it is very clean.
I did not do too many hikes in Jeju and this was just one of the few I did. It was a small forest garden, owned by a family and now looked after by the 2nd generation daughter.
She gave us a brief intro in English of the forest. One that actually does not have soil and one that offers a different season from what it actually should be.
Unfortunately we did not experience this difference in season while in the forest. But we just enjoyed walking around this small forest garden, admiring the trees that have sprout out.
A good walk if the true forest hike may be too much to bear

Name as 'wonder forest' but it takes only 20 to 30 min to look around cost 20$ for 4 person.
If you don't have enough time you'd be better to pass this garden.
