Jeju City announced that Jeolmul Oreum, situated in Jeolmul Natural Recreation Forest, Jeju City, will reopen in October after its restoration is completed this month.

The restoration includes changes to the observatory that is located at the top of Jeolmul Oreum which was deemed unsafe. The new octahedral form observatory, supported by a three-meter high safety deck, will be installed for visitors to command more visual observations.
