| Off to JEJU LAND=) |
Been in seoul for almost 2 weeks and I spent 5 of the days in JEJU land=) I can assure those out there who love sightseeing, you definitely must visit JEJU! Nice scenery + Nice food + Many awesome museums and so much more what more can you ask for=)
Day 1=)
Flight at 10.30am- Travel from Yonsei University 7.45am, took the subway line 2 to Yeongdeung Po-Gu Office change to line 5(purple line) to Gimpo airport station!=)
Reached Jeju around 11.30 am - Took Airport Luminous Bus(bus no.600) from jeju cost 5000 won to New Kyung Nam Hotel stop- approximately 1 hour 20 mins from the airport.
We stayed at Jeju Hiking Inn( a short distance walk from the busstop) not a fabulous place to stayed in, considering that its a place for bagpackers=) But definitely worth a stay if you are not fussy with it, the hotel owner knows english and he will recommend you the famous places to visit the moment you checked in! And of course, We went to the places to have a look and ate at the places he recommend and I am definitely impressed.
Lunch - At a BBQ store called SAE SO UL DU LU CHI KI that he recommended to us. The place only sells Octopus/Pork BBQ plate, It cost 6000 won for rice inclusive/per person! It's good and definitely delicious=)
Around 3.30pm- We went to JeongBang Waterfall, Its by far the waterfall that i liked best out of the entire trip. Reason being, the effort took just to look at it, already explains how beautiful it is! Entrance fee for Youth aged 17-24, is 1000 won, YOU HAVE TO SHOW THEM YOUR STUDENT PASS!!!^^
Ps: I would recommend you wear shorts and shoes if you intend to visit the waterfall=)
Around 5 pm- We left for TEDDY BEAR MUSEUM - We took a cab there because we was so tired. It cost 12, 800 won (**ASK FOR METER) from the water there. And the entrance fees is 8000won. You can find the famous korea drama- GOONG tiddy bears there=) and of course have fun taking photos with them=)
Around 8 pm - We left for dinner back at our hotel area. Its a famous BLACK PIG BBQ store, ask the hotel manager and he will guide you there=) Its a white signboard with red wording restaurant down the hill=) Lots of side dish and pork for 49,000won - Pork Belly -16,000won + Pork Steak -15,000won + Pork Spare Ribs - 14,000won + 4 rice -4,000 won !! Definitely worth a visit=)
That's the end for DAY 1^^
DAY 2
At 9 am - Travel by Car to Halim park- ticket price 9000won, spent the whole morning there. Its filled with reptiles, caves(aftermath of volcano), flowers, sculptures and etc. A good place to visit for families.^^
At around 12am - We travel to Glass World Museum- 9000won by car, Basically as what it describe itself to be, its a place filled with objected make by GLASS yes! It may sound unattractive but when you see them glitter under the sun its really pretty=)
At around 5pm - We make our way to Alive Museum- Admission 9000won, If you heard of Trick Eye Museum and find it amazing then you shouldn't give this a miss=) It's basically around the same thing.
At around 8pm - we make our way back to the Inn ourselves.
How do you do that??
Walk out to the main street, spot Dunkin Donut store, The Airport Luminous Busstop is around that area. Spot for the sign, than spot the bus led that says that its going toward SEOGWIPO-Tickets-1500won. *Ps: You should be able to spot some horse carriage ride around that area, the busstop is just there!!=)DAY 3
At 9am - We reached MANJUNG CAVE - Youth price- 1000won. It was really amazing to be able to see the aftermath of a volcano. Since I once took a module that taught about it. I really want to see it real life. Stalagmite, Stalactites, Lava wall and etc. But be warned! It's freaking 14 degrees in there so do dress in proper attire and cover shoes if you wan to enjoy the trip to the fullest=)
At 10.30am - We reached Maze Park- Ticket(adult -3300won) by car. If you watched running man before it's in one of the episode. The casts is trapped in the confusing maze. I got to try it, it's fun if you planned your route well you won't get lost. Like I said we PLANNED it,so we reach within around 20 minutes?? =)
At around 12 am - We travelled to SUNRISE PEAK - Youth price - 1000won. It's really breath-taking up there. But do wear shoes to climb the hill, It's pretty slippery and dangerous!! DO CHECK THE WEATHER FORECAST TO AVOID THE RAINING PERIOD! ^^
At around 2 pm- We went to the DA CHANG JI FLIMING VILLAGE- I don't have the exact location for it=/ But it's really cool. It's a government recommend tourist site. The horses there do not exceed 1.2m.And apparently the divers there are all WOMAN and they can hold their breathe really well!!!=)
Around 4pm - We went to had our brunch around SEOGWIPO PORT - Its a restaurant near the yacht area. Since its surrounded by "water". They have lots of seafood there so we had raw fish. Not a fan of it, but my friend enjoyed it alot=) The price varies around 30, 000won onwards=)
At around 6pm - We reached CHEONGJIYEON WATERFALL - Youth price 1000won. It's the other waterfall that you can see in jeju! There is a total of 3 famous waterfall in jeju=) Itsreally prety at night=) And its near to the Inn that i stayed in=)
DAY 4
At 10am - We travel to SANBANGSAN. Firstly, we travel to E-mart Busstop by cab, which cost us 6000won. If you are travelling in groups of 4 its recommended to take the cab instead=) Since its faster and it cost the same as the Airport Luminous Bus. Otherwise, you can take the bus, which cost 1500 won and its located a street infront of the minimart near New Kyung Nam Hotel^^Then you go to the bus terminal and tell the lady you need a bus ticket to SANBANGSAN, it will cost you 1500won=)
Wear proper attire and show! There is lots of slopes to climb over there=) We settle our meal by eating kimbap! ^^
Around 3pm - We travel to Cheongjeyeon Waterfall, You have to take the bus that you took to sanbangsan back to JUNGMUN RESORT STOP- its will cost you 1000won=)
*Be sure to check the bus schedule to avoid waiting for too long. At Cheongjeyeon, you can get to see 3 waterfalls=)
Cheongjeyeon Waterfall
* Yes There is no waterfall, might be the lack of rain that caused it! But its supposed to be very magnificent^^
