Three days and two nights in Jeju Island

Jeju Island in the off-season is a paradise for self-healing This time I stayed in Yayue Village A place where you can see the sea and the lighthouse when you open the window The day I arrived, my hat flew off as soon as I got out of the taxi without any precautions Put down my luggage and take a walk nearby The wind is so strong that I walk two meters and retreat three meters Decided to eat barbecue in the nearest restaurant After eating, I went back to the hotel and took a rest Took the bus to Ilchul Peak to watch the sunset Hahaha, yes, watching the sunset at Ilchul Peak The wind was a bit smaller at this time The weather is not so cold, very comfortable Came when it was about to close, few people, equivalent to a private booking In the evening, I went to a popular restaurant that is the same as the one in the love series The dishes are indeed very fresh and the prices are quite affordable The lobster ramen can be said to be the ramen of my life So fresh that it's amazing! The next day I slept until I woke up naturally, it was a cloudy day There is sun, but not much Find a coffee shop nearby and have a beautiful breakfast Why say it's beautiful, it's literal Beautiful scenery, beautiful food Then I took the bus to the pier Boarded the ship to Udo Wow, the scenery is really good Without an international driver's license, I could only rent an electric bicycle It's not bad, it's not tiring at all But we sat down at the first beach Never got up again until the return trip The dong of the jelly sea is the dong of heart The seawater is really like jelly, duangduang Sitting on the beach eating a fish cake The soup base is actually made of kelp, another little surprise In the evening, I went to the same barbecue omakase as the love series The meat quality is definitely not as good as the one I ate the day before The main thing is to experience the different tastes of different parts of the pig's body The service is excellent, just open your mouth all the way On the third day, I still slept until I woke up naturally Went directly to Xiaocai Beach to eat at the same restaurant as Gong Liu and Lee Dong Wook The seafood pancake is fragrant and crispy, very, very delicious Other dishes did not leave a stunning feeling Although it rained heavily this day But the transparency of Xiaocai Beach is not inferior to Udo I also met a magpie during the walk This place is so comfortable, I want to stay for a few days next time

Jeju Travels

#jeju This is the view of Seongsan, also known as the Sunrise Peak. It is a UNESCO, World Natural Heritage Site. It is more accessible by car as buses are infrequent and the timings are unreliable. Seongsan Ilchulbong Tuff Cone rose 180 meters above sea level due to a magma flow under the sea over 5,000 years ago. The crater is about 600 meters in diameter and 90 meters deep. It takes around 50 minutes for a round trip up and down the mountain. However, it requires a fee to hike. The view from the free zone is also amazing! Worth it.

Osulloc Tea Musuem: Heaven for matcha lovers!

📍Osulloc Tea Museum, Jeju LOVE THE MATCHA SLUSHIE! (must try) they do sell a set that comes with a matcha roll, matcha soft serve and matcha slushie (also topped with soft serve). The drink was smooth, matcha taste was strong and not diluted, best off the menu! As for the roll cake, preferred the hallabong flavoured one! (give this a try too! the hint of tangerine brings out the flavour of the cake) After having your desserts, head over to the store to stock up on some matcha snacks, green tea AND DONT MISS THE GREEN TEA MILK SPREAD.

Great Ocean Escapade at Seopjikoji!

📍Seopjikoji, Coast of Jeju GREAT VIEWS. It started snowing that day in Jeju but that didnt stop us from visiting this beautiful place. While driving towards Seopjikoji we chanced upon a stone statue and stopped for photos! Seopjikoji itself was like a fairytale come true, with cottage huts up the hills, and rocks that resembled a turtle and also the beautiful waves😭 will definitely revisit and you should too! #mytripvlog #2023travelwish

Seopjikoji is near Seongsan illchubong so it’s worth to head here if you are driving. It is another beautiful coastal hike that’s famous for its canola flowers during spring. We came here during sunset and was in awe by the colours in the sky that quickly went away. This hike is probably one of the easiest in my entire trip in Jeju. Unlike the other mountains/hills in Jeju, this one is made of red volcanic ash. #gohiking

Teddy Bear Museum

#wheretogo Visiting the Teddy Bear Museum was my childhood dreams and now that I am a big kid, it felt great to finally earn some money and checked it off my list. Though I would say times and interest has changed, but I will never regretted coming to Jeju to see it. Teddy Bear Museum as the name says, is a museum full of unique teddy bears from different countries and age. It was quite fun to see so many teddy bears gathered and dressed up for different occasions. At the end of the journey there is a souvenir store, which shockingly still sells the same merchandise my aunt bought for me as a kid.

Teddies everywhere

#jeju #teddybear This is the famous Teddy Bear museum located in Seogwipo, Jeju Island. It is more assessable via car rather than public transport. You can see how the designs of the Teddy bear transforms from centuries ago till now. It is really interesting and fascinating to know how much it has changed. They also made teddy bears from famous paintings like the Mona Lisa. So cute!

Jeju Island Teddy Bear Museum 🌟Highlights: It is said that there are two teddy bear museums in Jeju Island. We went to the Joans Teddy Bear Museum.

Upstairs, there are teddy bears wearing national costumes including Hanbok Hanfu and Kimono Roman Gladiator Waiting is very realistic. The third floor is a terrace where you can see the good view of the Sea View and the souvenir shop. #happynewyear

Shinhwa Theme Park is unique in many ways. First, it tries to make its own characters seems as popular as Mickey Mouse and Spider Man - it doesn’t work but it’s great fun just trying to figure out who is who. Second, everything seems brand new - so it’s spotless and at the same standards as a Disneyland or Universal Studios. Third - the rides are small but oh so knock out fun. And there is rarely anyone there. #GiveThanks

Shinhwa Theme Park

Shinhwa Theme Park is filled with characters from a Korean animated show. It is beside the water park a nearby a hotel. Families will definitely have a great time here but as a 21 year old, I enjoyed it too. Entrance to walk in the park is completely FREE but there are tickets to be purchased if you want to ride on the rides. A single ride costs 6000won, 3 rides costs 17,000won and unlimited rides costs 30,000won. In my opinion, it was definitely a fun experience as there are rides more for adults like the Flying Wheel and Oscar’s Spin’n Bump. There are also more chill rides for the kids if they cant take the fast rides. For some rides, the staff will sing a song with the music that is playing which I found it quite cute.

About play: Korea Island Mythology World This is a newly opened theme park, divided into three areas, Oscar World, Laughing Bug Adventure Village, and the port of vision. is a huge rock standing on the eastern end of Jeju Island. It is one of the 360 sub-volcanoes of Halla Mountain and the world's largest crater that protrudes from the coast. Chengshan Sunrise Peak is a prairie with an idyllic and beautiful view. The reason why it is called Sunrise Peak is because the sunrise here is particularly beautiful. Maze Jining Labyrinth Park is located in the old Zuojiao Wanzhang Grotto Street, Jeju City, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, South Korea. It is located between the famous scenic spots Wanzhang Grottoes and Jinning Temple Caves. About accommodation The hotel I chose is the Marriott Jeju Shinhwa World Hotel This hotel is among the mythical world theme parks in Jeju Island. One of the high-end hotels is also the only Marriott hotel in Jeju Island. The hotel's facilities are quite perfect, and it is very convenient to eat, live, travel, play, shop, etc. About shopping Of course, coming to Korea must be bought and bought. There are a lot of people going to Jeju Island to go shopping, and the Marriott hotel has a large duty-free shop on the first floor. It is full of variety and variety. I believe that for many people who like shopping, It is a place of paradise.

This is made up of the jungle and the remains of the ancient city.
