Visit Jeju describes the Jeong Nan-ju Catholic Heritage Road, also called the 'Path of Suffering', as a historic walk beginning at Jeong Nan-ju Maria's tomb, passing the Daejeong fortress remains, Chusa Kim Jeong-hui's exile site, the Samuisa memorial and the former Moseulpo First Training Center, and ending at Moseulpo Catholic Church. Jeong Nan-ju Maria was exiled to Jeju during the 1801 Sinyu persecution and was the wife of Hwang Sa-yeong. The visitor description places the Daejeong fortress walls and stone statues near Boseong Elementary School along the way. The source does not establish a reliable total walking distance, walking time, up-to-date signage or bus services. Before walking, verify trail access, transport between start and finish, and the conditions at any religious or memorial site. Dress for the weather and respect the commemorative setting.
