South Korean tallest mountain

This is for those who like adventure..😉 Few weeks ago, I had a chance to climb Hallasan in Jeju-do which is South Korea tallest mountain. There is two trail that will reach the summit and Baengnokdam Lake, which is Gwaneusma trail and Seongpanak trail. I am lucky to be able to experienced both trail. I went up from Gwaneusma (steep and hard according to local, but for me it was ok) and went down via Seongpanak (easy trail). Most local prefer the other way round and that makes the trail more crowded. That’s why i choose to hike from Gwaneusma and go down via Seongpanak. The whole hike takes about 7 hours. But it depends on one’s fitness. How to get there? I stayed in Seogwipo, so took bus no 281 to Jeju international university and then took bus no 475 to Gwaneusma head trail. Taxi are very expensive in Jeju. So the most affordable transportation is the bus. You can also take a taxi from Jeju international university to Gwaneusma head trail (KRW6500). For my next trip, i wish i can take my son to London to see Harry Potter film site #2023TravelWish #seogwipo #hallasan #jejuadventure #solobackpacker #SpooktacularTrip #fallingforfall

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 National Park

#koreatrip We took the easiest trail to just try it out and it was quite tough, admittedly, but we made it to the top! We were lucky the weather was really good in the morning and there was no one at the peak when we made it up. The view was nice and there was some areas with the pillars that provide a QR code for emergency calls in case you need help. Try going earlier in the morning to try and catch the nice view of the sun. It was slightly drizzling so we caught a mini rainbow! Admission is free and there is even a phototaking booth in the visitor's centre if you would like to take a photo for memories after your climb. Photo is 2,000 KRW per printed photo, and the instructions are all in Korean, Japanese, English and Chinese so there's no need to worry about not understanding how to use the booth. There are also some signages which introduce the names of the flora and fauna and if you're lucky you might catch a glimpse of the animals that live in the mountain. Unfortunately for us, that didn't happen but the view was so worth the climb up. It may be tedious for those who aren't able to climb too much stairs so maybe bring along a pair of walking/climbing sticks to help you get to the peak easily. Ground may be wet and muddy so be careful!

My Solo Jeju Winter Hike and City Trip

The highligh of this trip was the winter hike in Mt Hallasan one that you can take even if you are hiking solo. The view is amazing, you may hate the hike but you will forget everything once you’re up there. I took the yeongsil-eorimok trail. Jeju is a safe island for female solo travellers. Highly recommended! Lots of cute cafes, you will never run out of caffeine fix, a heaven for coffee addict 😁 Even their convenience store got a lot of goodies to try. I stayed in 2 locations for my 6 days trip, first near the beach and 2nd was in the city area and it was a great decision. More time to explore the city by foot or by bus. They have very efficient transportation throughout the island although its less frequent when you are far out of the city but it is still manageable. For transportation you can use kakaotalk or just use google map, bus options will be listed there with bus frequency and timing. Hiking Mt Hallasan-You can take the bus but make sure to take the first trip as it is pretty crowded and you will be surprised that there’s a lot of hikers from young to old even in winter. Visiting lighthouses and beaches:do check the weather prior to going out as it can get really windy by the seaside. Bringing poncho is much better than umbrella. Popular places have long queues like london bagel museum so plan ahead. You dont wanna be stuck in one place for long hours and missed seing other places. Jeju is a place I would love to visit again and again. #winterhike #jeju #mthallasan #cutecafes #solotravel #lighthouse #southkorea #hiking #healing

Come to Jeju Island and climb a not high but absolutely scenic mountain

Taking advantage of the strong autumn colors, I recently took a friend who just came to Jeju Island to Songyue Mountain again. Rather than climbing the mountain, it's more accurate to say walking the mountain. Located in the west of Jeju Island, Songyue Mountain is a part of the occasional path. The entrance is a big slope directly to the mountainside, and what suddenly appears in front of you is the vast sea and the nearby Shanfang Mountain. This is an occasional road along the coastline with a very wide view. You can see Shanfang Mountain and Brother Island at the same time. When the weather is good, you can also overlook Hannashan Mountain. The first half of the Songyue Mountain hike is almost the grandeur of the invincible sea view, and the second half enters the pine forest style. There are purple flowers and honeysuckle that have not ended in summer on the side of the plank road. The white horses, sea women and anglers on the cliffs seen along the way must be the most authentic scenery of Jeju Island. The whole journey takes about 2 hours. Free and no tickets. After climbing the mountain, you can rest at the busy Starbucks at the foot of the mountain, and continue along the coastline, you can reach a very popular hot restaurant. See the restaurant introduction in yesterday's blog post.

Winter fairy tale: Hallasan in the snow, conquers my heart!

The winter trip, the first conquest of Hallasan🏔️! ❄️ Definitely a perfect start in December! 🏃‍♀️ When I initially planned to climb the mountain, I was a bit disappointed because the snow hadn't started yet. But luck came, the first snow of Jeju Island this year fell on Hallasan the day before 🥺🥺 The whole 2.5 hours of climbing process... It's like entering a fairy tale world❄️ We set off very early, at 8 o'clock in the morning, so the weather was very cold, and the temperature in the mountain hut was about -10°C 😂 Thin snow, heavy clouds, we couldn't see the top of the mountain, but it was still a beautiful scene😍 The route we chose was the Yeongsil trail, one of the easiest routes, and it didn't lead us to the top of the mountain. The whole journey, including rest time, took about 5 hours, which is very suitable for beginners😇 Please check the official website for the mountain entry time and precautions in different seasons! This is definitely the best part of the trip... even though it feels like my legs are still on the mountain 😂

Jeju Island, South Korea, with its charming and beautiful island scenery

Jeju Island, a place as pleasing to the eye as the friendly smile of a Korean woman. Here, every flower, every tree, every grass, every stone, and even every bird's song, has a beautiful legend. This mysterious and enchanting island is a perfect combination of nature and culture, bringing endless surprises and enjoyment to tourists. My first acquaintance with Jeju Island came from the classic Korean drama 'Dae Jang Geum'. The crimson maple leaves, the blue lake water, and the calm and gentle Jang Geum by the lake in the drama made me yearn for the beautiful scenery of Jeju Island. And in another famous film 'Love and Death', the 'Love and Death Slope' of Liu Huan and Lin Meiyu made me intoxicated with the beautiful scenery of Jeju Island. Sitting on the bench, so quiet that you can hear the rustling sound of the pine needles falling from the old pine trees next to you, the sea and the sky meet in the distance, making you feel as if you are in a beautiful painting. In fact, Jeju Island was originally a natural resting paradise adorned and combined with legends and nature. It is in the North Pacific Ocean at the southernmost point of South Korea, and it emerged from the sea after thousands of years of continuous movement by Mother Nature. One float and one arch, and the arch is so high that it can be intimate with the heavens, and the highest mountain is called Han Mountain, which means 'Cloud Han Yin Ye', meaning that the Milky Way is within reach. This one float and one arch, makes it so that even today, you can see rocks of all sizes formed by volcanic lava eruptions everywhere, with rough surfaces, full of honeycombs, and shapes of all kinds. The walls built with these strange stones, the fields divided, and the statues carved, have all become unique cultural landscapes of Jeju Island. And due to the influence of the warm current near the sea, the warm climate and pleasant scenery displayed by Jeju Island also deeply attract tourists from all over. Stepping into Jeju Island, a fresh rural soil scent hits your face, sweeping away the impetuosity and heat of the big city. And the Korean language that sounds like a coquettish sound in your ears, like a fresh and melodious pastoral symphony, will bring a knowing smile to anyone's heart. The smoky Hanla Mountain here adds a touch of mystery and romance to this island. Jeju Island is a windy place, but the wind here is fresh and will never blow people's eyes or hair. It's the kind of light, soft, unnoticeable, very intimate wind. The gusts of wind blow the yellow flowers all over the ground, and the gusts of wind scatter them, just like children waiting to welcome guests. And in April, the wind blows the cherry blossoms all over the trees and streets, the only time of the year that they scatter. The clear color of the sea water in Jeju Island is famous and not common in the world, and its marine resources are also very rich, becoming the most basic living resource of Jeju Island. The leisurely local vendors set up stalls by the sea selling all kinds of seafood, and the fishermen also docked their boats in rows on the shore, they will never chase you to sell, as if the coming and going of anyone will not change their comfortable and pleasant life rhythm. Coming here, choosing a windless day to go out to sea with the fishermen, experiencing the pleasant life of the fishermen, and tasting the unique Korean cuisine with the warm and hospitable people on Jeju Island, the fun can be imagined. The herds, grasslands, and lakes reflecting the blue sky are enough to give this place a pastoral and romantic beauty. This is Jeju Island, a place full of natural beauty and cultural charm, a place that makes people linger and forget to return.

There is only one bus line number 240, and you can find the bus schedule at the entrance of the park.
