🇰🇷Jeju Island Free Travel Guide in South Korea
Before coming to this island, the preparation was too exhausting, even more so than my previous trip to Europe. So here are some suggestions, hoping to help everyone
⏰Travel Time: 5 days and 4 nights
🎒Travel Preparation: Bus card, data SIM card, clothes, toiletries, medicines, disinfectants, adapter plug, charger, power bank, umbrella, 1 million in cash, cardless (be sure to bring sunscreen! Otherwise, you'll turn into a 'black egg' and get sunburned)
🛤️Visited Attractions: Udo Island, Seongsan Ilchulbong, Jeonnong-ro, Yongduam Rock, Baojian Road Pedestrian Street, Rainbow Road, Jeongbang Waterfall, Submarine Tour, Jusangjeolli Cliff, Cheonjiyeon Waterfall, Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market
🥯Food: bhc fried chicken, Matured Hanwoo Beef, zzz Jeju Black Pork, Memory House, Orange Cafe, Udo Island light coffee shop, Starbucks limited edition, Wooku Heaven (Seaside black pork buffet)
🤩Attraction Experience: Udo Island (worth visiting, very beautiful, photogenic), Seongsan Ilchulbong (worth a visit, nice scenery), Jeonnong-ro (not necessary), Yongduam Rock (just a rock, looks like a dragon's head) Baojian Road Pedestrian Street (sparse and empty), Rainbow Road (beautiful, photogenic), Jeongbang Waterfall (small), Submarine Tour (quite novel, diver attracts fish, short duration), Jusangjeolli Cliff (strange and interesting), Cheonjiyeon Waterfall (small), Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market (worth a visit, there's a shop selling orange daifuku that tastes good)
🥩Food Experience: bhc fried chicken (pretty good, but ordered too much, ended up feeling sick), Matured Hanwoo Beef (delicious, but personally prefer 😘), Jeju Black Pork (delicious), Memory House (very fresh, abalones wriggling in the pot, alive. The lady boss and waitress are nice and humorous), Orange Cafe (relaxing in the orange garden, but there are few oranges left), Udo Island light coffee shop (the scenery is amazing, absolutely amazing), Starbucks limited edition, Wooku Heaven (Seaside black pork buffet) (the scenery is amazing, very romantic, meat is normal)
This trip was a pure free travel, all by bus and taxi, and you can feel that the attractions are very scattered. So whether to travel freely or join a tour depends on the person, and the island accepts cash payments.
From Jeju to Seogwipo, take bus 600, and press stop in advance. For taxis, there is an option to pay cash in the app, some maps are very inaccurate, try to combine and see.
⚠️For two people, 5 days and 4 nights, excluding airfare, hotel, and other preparations. 1 million was just enough to spend, for your reference.
The travel experience in Jeju Island is very good, and there's no need to worry about language issues. Upon returning to the country, you still need to do a nucleic acid test, which can be booked in advance or on-site (when arriving domestically, go straight from gate 3 to find the nucleic acid test site)

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!

Jeju Island day tour, the beauty of Moontinri in winter is like a painting
I don't regret coming to Korea in winter
What I regret is spending most of the time in Seoul
If you are traveling to Korea in winter
Be sure to leave some time for Jeju Island
-
The winter in Jeju Island is super warm
The temperature is in the teens during the day
Much warmer and humid than Seoul
There are also beautiful natural scenery and countless seaside cafes

· Udo Island|Check-in point: Jelly sea, bicycles and island buses can be rented on the island, you need to take a boat to get there, it is quite far

🌙 Moontinri is the most beautiful place I think, so I spent most of my time here; Udo Island is quite far and troublesome, I feel the scenery is similar to other islands, I personally feel it can go or not
📝I signed up for a day tour group, 100+ RMB. Taxis in Korea are quite expensive, if you want to visit all the attractions in one day, joining a group is the easiest and most cost-effective. I left at 7:30 in the morning and returned to the city around 6 pm

Daepo Jusangjeolli Cliff Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
In Seogwipo, Jeju Island, it's a place that resembles Iceland
This should be a scenic spot that has an atmospheric feel whether it's sunny☀️ or cloudy.
The columnar jointing is formed when the lava that erupted from ⛰️ Mount Hallasan flowed into the sea in front of the Chinese region and cooled,
consisting of organ-shaped or irregularly shaped stone pillars of various sizes.
It feels very similar to the basalt columns of Iceland's black sand beaches, and it's very photogenic📷.
I stayed in Seogwipo City for two days, and for the seaside🌊, I chose this one place.
I first went to the 🍊 Orange Cafe for a coffee, then took a bus to Yakcheonsa Temple.
After touring, I took a taxi to the columnar jointing area🌄 to watch the sunset, and the timing was just right.
🎫Ticket: 2000 Korean Won
🕒Hours: 9:00-17:20
⚠️TIPS
They close the doors super punctually after work, even before the sunset is over.
But you can go out🚶♀️ and walk to the left for a while,
and you can still find an angle to finish watching the sunset.

Jusangjeolli are stone pillars piled up along the coast and is a designated cultural monument of Jeju Island. Jusangjeolli Cliff was formed when the lava from Hallasan Mountain erupted into the sea of Jungmun. They are rock pillars shaped like cubes or hexagons of various sizes and almost seem as if stone masons had carved them out. The administration of the district named them 'Jisatgae Rocks' from their old name 'Jisatgae'.

Jeongbang Waterfall Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
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!
#mytripvlog #southkorea #jeju #passionpassort #wintergetaway
Jeongbang Falls, Jeju Island. Catch this stunning waterfall - the only one in Asia where the water flows direct into the sea! Catch Hyanyeos (the women divers of Jeju) selling their catch there too! #jeju #waterfall

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 May)
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
