Udo Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Jeju Island, South Korea | Money-saving guide for a self-guided bus tour in February
| Money-saving guide for a self-guided bus tour in February. I've been to Jeju Island 5 times and have visited almost all the attractions. For first-time visitors, I suggest about 4 days.
【Preparation before departure】:
①Ballpoint pen/, for filling out the entry card
2 Enable international roaming on your phone (for making and receiving calls, remember to turn off mobile data)
3 Pick up a Wifi egg at the domestic airport (recommended) / Purchase a data card online in advance.
④Conversion plug (not necessary, usually provided at the hotel front desk.)
5 Wear sports shoes, Jeju Island is hilly, leather shoes will be tiring.
【Preparation at the airport】:
①ATM on the left side of the exit on the first floor of the airport to withdraw Korean Won, shops also accept Visa, JCB cards.
2 Cu convenience store at the airport, get a T-MoneyCard for the bus. Top up 20,000 Korean Won per person. If it's not enough, you can top up at any convenience store.
【Preparation for return at the airport】: The customs opens at 5:50 in the morning, check in at the front row to see your city's counter, especially for the busiest Tianjin route, don't queue in the wrong line.
◎【Bus guide】: Must download these APPs in advance in China:
1 Baidu Map (search for the nearest bus stop by walking)
Papago (translate bus stop names, dialogue translation)
3 KakaoMap (bus route inquiry, get off reminder)
4 KakaoT (Jeju Island has fewer taxis, equivalent to Didi)
〇【Bus riding guide, common place names see comments section】
①Copy the place you want to go into \"Kakaomap\", click on the 2 bus icon, a route will appear, choose the nearest one. It shows the nearest departure time of the bus, such as: 201 route 8min, indicating that the bus will arrive in 8 minutes.
2 Open \"Baidu Map\", search for the bus stop, click on 201, and follow the navigation to walk there.
3 Open the route, screenshot and open \"papago\" to confirm the Chinese place name for the second time, and recognize the bus route map to make sure you are not going in the wrong direction.
4 Open \"Kakaomap\", choose a good route, must click on the bell icon, the phone will vibrate two stops before getting off, press the red Stop button on the bus in advance to get off. If you don't press it, the bus won't stop.
Blue ticket 1150, red bus is a tourist line 2500~3000, segmented pricing, swipe the card once when you get on the bus, swipe again when you get off. If you take a taxi, the ones with the Vip sign are expensive. If you get the wrong one, just wait for the next one.
©The essence of the sea area is on the east line: Hamdeok Beach—Woljeongri—Seongsan Ilchulbong—Sogilcheon (not beautiful in winter, can be skipped). And the top must-visit spot in Jeju Island is Udo Island. For example, take bus 600 from the passenger station, swipe the card when you get on the bus, arrive at Seongsanpo hang Port, swipe the card again when you get off. Walk for 10 minutes to reach the ticket office.
Reflections on my two trips to Jeju Island, and why I want to go again!
🤔How long should I stay?
Looking at photos online, Jeju Island seems to be just some small houses by the sea that can be walked in a day. But in reality, it's quite large, about the size of three Seouls and one Xiamen. If you want to see all the beautiful places, a four-day trip is appropriate.
🗺How should I plan my itinerary?
My itinerary was mainly about eating, drinking, and having fun, without visiting tourist spots or shopping, but it was still quite tight.
Day1: East Line🎈 - Udo - Seongsan Ilchulbong - Sopjikoji;
Day2: West Line🎈 - Jeju Yeoyeom Village Resort - East Line Woljeongri;
Day3: Seogwipo🎈 - Tangerine Garden - Camellia - Hyeopjae Beach - Ollae Market;
Day4: Jeju Island Old Area🎈 - New Area by the sea.
📸The places that are particularly photogenic in order are:
Udo, Yeoyeom, Woljeongri, Seogwipo Hyeopjae. These are all seaside areas, with roads leading to the sea and windows with ocean views😍.
🚶How to avoid unnecessary detours?
Arrange to visit places that are close to each other, and try not to miss any. Reading more travel guides can help avoid taking the long way🤗.
For example, in Yeoyeom, BOMNAL, teamblow, and other stores are not far from each other, and you can arrange to visit them by chartered car on the same day🚗.
Woljeongri's mou moon cafe, bagel miseum, and the small dog cafe are also close by, so you can visit them together🐶.
🙅Aren't all seaside roads and small houses the same?
Actually, the color of the sea is different😜! The sea at Woljeongri and Yeoyeom is jelly-colored, while Seogwipo's is deep blue.
Udo is not very convenient for watching the sunset, you can choose to watch it at Yeoyeom or Seogwipo's Hyeopjae🌇.
👀That's all for my sharing! Have I attracted you😁? Come to Jeju Island and experience it for yourself!

I took the photo of my life on Jeju Island
The jelly sea of Udo Island is too piu bright
Make sure to check the weather in advance before you go!
It's very likely that you won't be able to get on the island on rainy and windy days
Our East Line day tour was not bad💰158
🚗Shiji Kezhi👉Udo Island👉Sunrise Peak👉Sun Moon Beach
✔️Shiji Kezhi
Free🆓, there is a black reef sand beach that is very photogenic, very similar to the black sand beach in Iceland!
✔️Udo Island:
1⃣️Take the boat directly: you need a boat ticket💰10000➕Korean won/person, you can take the bus🚌/rent a bicycle🚲/rent a small electric car (more freedom) on the island
2⃣️The tour guide drives the boat: a total of 💰30000 Korean won/person (we chose to drive)
✔️Sunrise Peak
The route on the left is free, you need a ticket💰5000 Korean won/person to go up the mountain, if you want to climb the mountain, you can go up and take a look, I personally think it is unnecessary
✔️Sun Moon Beach
It is also a beautiful beach, compared to Udo Island, it is more gentle and calm, there are large windmills around, very photogenic! The large floor-to-ceiling window cafe is opened here~
The East Line is really good for taking pictures! I took hundreds of photos in one day

Not Iceland! It’s South Korea!
Upset about rainy weather, but amazed after seeing this!
If you visit Jeju island in South Korea, don’t miss its East. The Sunrise peak was formed 7000 years ago by a volcanic eruption!🌋🙈
And now you can walk around black lava rocks and view this astonishing beauty!
Foggy weather made it even more mistique and distinct from other tourists pics.
And how about that Starbucks? The best view from the cafe ever! Also try the black sesame latte and special Jeju matcha.

Hallasan National Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Peak Adventures: Unwind and Conquer
#cherryblossom2024
The hike was truly remarkable, albeit somewhat taxing. I highly recommend embarking before 10 am to prevent the need for hurried ascent, as we experienced. The summit boasted awe-inspiring vistas, and it's advisable to pack some provisions to savor alongside the scenery. Consider reserving this itinerary for the final day of your journey, as it promises to be quite exhausting and necessitate ample recovery time.

Hallasan in Autumn
Fancy a one-day hiking challenge? Try hiking Hallasan on Jeju Island. The round trip will take around 10 hours if you are a non-hiker, so start early and wear a pair of good shoes that protect your ankle. The path is mostly rocky and steps can be very steep. The views at the summit are breathtaking, but be prepared to queue for a proof-shot for the certificate of completion. Remember to book your slot if you plan to reach the summit!#hallasan #bucketlistreboot

Jeongbang Waterfall Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Jeongbang Falls - Beauty’s worth the drive!
📍Jeongbang Waterfall, Jeju
Getting There - We drove from the airport down south to the falls! Highly recommend renting a car as it took slightly about an hour to get there even by car so public transportation would be longer.
Attractions - Besides the waterfall, there’s also Osulloc tea museum, Yeongmori coast and Camellia hill nearby!
Food & Restaurants - There’s Olle Market nearby in the South as well!
