Jeju island is home to the second biggest airport in South Korea after Incheon.

Inside the port there are three holes named Samseonghyeol (Caves of the Three Clans), as stated in legend the three ancestral families (the Samseong-Ko, Pu, and Yang) of Jeju came from to inhabit the island.

The Port held the Hangpaduseong fortress in 1271 during a struggle between rebels versus the Goryeo army and the allied Mongols.

Post World War II the Port of Jeju regained its independence in 1946.

Two years later a rebellion resulted in burning the Port of Jeju provincial administrative building, which was rebuilt in 1952.

The civilian military complex port was opened to the public in 2016 and can house two 150,000 ton ships.
