Visit Jeju describes the 'Path of Perseverance' on the Jeju Exile Trail as an historical loop beginning at the Jeju Chusa Museum (44 Chusa-ro, Daejeong-eup, Seogwipo). The listed sequence is Chusa Museum → former Songjuksa site → former Hannamuisuk site → Jeong Nan-ju Maria's tomb → Dansan → Semi-mul → Daejeong Hyanggyo Confucian School → Chusa Museum. The official page gives both 8 km and 8.6 km, with a suggested walking duration of around 3–4 hours. Verify the actual distance, path access and trail markers before setting out in 2026. Its bus instructions may be outdated; consult current local transit information rather than relying on route numbers in the article. Check Chusa Museum opening arrangements separately and bring water and suitable shoes.
