Things to be aware of in Jeju, Korea
#Southeast Asia Strategy
Transportation on Jeju Island, Korea, and two things to be especially careful of from the mistakes I made📝❗
【Transportation🚗🚕🚌】
Rental cars, taxi charter, long-distance and short-distance buses.
🚗I looked for the most flexible rental car in New Jeju City, where the hotel is, but surprisingly I could only find it near the airport.
The airport is close to the city, so I took a taxi to the rental car store.
International driver's license required (it's fairly easy to get, but left-hand drive and right-hand traffic)
The land is spacious, so parking wasn't a problem. The roads are often relatively easy to drive on. (Photo of the road: The streetlights are shaped like the famous citrus🍊)
🚕Taxis are almost never available outside of urban areas.
According to people who have chartered a bus, they may take you to unexpected places due to goodwill recommendations, so be sure to clearly communicate your wishes.
It seems that they also provide guides. Some people say that this made the trip even more enjoyable.
🚌Most buses run every 10-20 minutes, which is more frequent than you might think♪The price is quite cheap.
For large hotels, the bus stop for long-distance buses may be right in front of the hotel.
However, when I made my plan, the number of places I could go to due to time and location was greatly reduced, so it depends on what I want to do.
[Things to be careful of]
①Jeju is an island, so when I plan it by looking at a map, it looks small somehow, so I tend to underestimate the time.
This is something that is often said.
But it's actually big, and it takes longer to get around than I thought!
Because we had a short preparation time this time, we did our research and planning in a shorter time than usual using only one guidebook and the internet.
The two free highways that run vertically are fast, but the roads along the coast are great for driving, but they take time😖💦
②And! It happened to me in Busan, Korea too, but the information on opening hours seems vague or changes all the time 😫
I wanted to go to Cheonjeyeon Falls, which has a mysterious and beautiful waterfall basin and a huge bridge with a goddess carved into it
The book said it was open until 18:30, and the internet said it was open until 18:00 or 19:00, so I spent almost two hours from where I was before and somehow managed to get there at 17:30
The reception closed at 17:20 😱😱😱😱😱
But I was in a daze 🐤
I showed the website to the staff, and they said this? I said, "Yes, this is definitely the place!", and he said without any surprise. I later looked it up and it seems that this is the largest of the three major waterfalls in Jeju. I should have taken more time to come here, but I was disappointed that I couldn't go in! I was disappointed, but since it was sunset time, I drove to a nearby place with a view of the ocean. And it was a big hit. The open space that you can enter for free is The Cliff, a bar with a large outdoor seating area in Jungmun, the No. 1 resort area in Jeju.
The fun of being in a tropical country is to listen to music on the beach, watch the sunset, and feel the night breeze...
Unfortunately, I couldn't relax here for 2 nights and 3 days, but I got a little bit of a feel💕
So, about Jeju's transportation
①The island is big!
② Call to confirm opening hours or go early😂
And that was the information about a nice lounge bar
