By short bus ride, I arrived at Jeju-mok Government Office Complex.  This complex was used during Joseon Dynasty as the government buildings for Jeju island.  The structure below is outside the walled complex.

This is the entrace to the complex

During the time when the complex was used, this complex was just a small part (upper left) of the larger walled city.

Description of discovery of this complex through archeology.  The complex was destroyed completely a long time ago but rebuilt starting in the year 1991.

Just across the street from the complex is the Onedosim area, where it was, at one time, the central business district area.  It is more of a nostalgic place now since it has not changed much since.

A short walk from the Onedosim area is the Chilseong-ro Shopping area, where one can buy popular brand products.

Another short walk from Chilseong-ro is Dongmun traditional market.
