Emerald experience on Jeju Olle trail

An Olle trail on Jeju Island

By Yun Suh-young

It’s not often that one gets an opportunity to walk along a trail overlooking the emerald-colored ocean.

It’s even rarer to stop along the trail and close your eyes to listen to live music played in the middle of a field of Chinese silver grass.

It’s rare but it’s real.

Trail 12 of the Jeju Olle Trail offers this overwhelming experience. Other trails from 10 to 13 will also offer live music by musicians during the Jeju Olle Walking Festival.

The opportunity to experience this reality is near ― the third Jeju Olle Walking Festival will be held from Oct. 31 through Nov. 3.

So pack up and get ready to walk.

There’s no better trail for contemplation.
