Jeju – Final Notes
This has been our second trip to Jeju, and also to South Korea in as many years – and I find myself really liking the country after just three trips over 20 years. The scenery in Jeju is varied within
Cozy Stay Guesthouse Jeju
There are a number of accommodation options situated in central Jeju, so we were spoiled for choice! The central area is on the northern side of the island and generally where the airport is, so as long as you’re staying
Jeju – Flora
We really like to do different things when travelling. I like to explore the outdoors and natural scenery, the wife loves flora, the daughter prefers to just shop, and the boy will look for anything that crawls on the ground!
Jeju – Itinerary Retrospection
A casual check online and also from reviews of private drivers in Jeju shows that most folks cover the island over 3- to 4-day visits. Mr. Lee – our Jeju driver for this trip – observed as much and quipped
Days 08 and 09 @ Jeju
We’d initially planned out a couple of places to visit around central Jeju where we’re staying, including exploring the Handam Coastal Walk and nearby beaches. In the end, we did none of that: opting instead to just unwind by vegetating
Day 07 @ Jeju – West Jeju – Hyeopjae Beach and Aewol Cafe Street
The weather was looking really gloomy at 5PM when we left Hallim Park, and it was drizzling on and off. Still, we braved the weather and drove the very short 2-minute distance from Hallim Park to Hyeopjae Beach. The beach
Day 07 @ Jeju – West Jeju – Hallim Park
Like Spirited Garden, Hallim Park is one South Korean’s passion project: that of Mr. Song Bong-gyu, who in 1971 created this recreational park after recognizing that tourism would be in Jeju Island’s future. He purchased barren land, and improved the
Day 07 @ Jeju – West Jeju – Hwangsang Forest
Like the Haenyeo divers’ performance, we’d set aside more than one date to try to participate in a Firefly sighting tour, and we tried to do two bookings: the first turned out to be too challenging as we did not
Day 06 @ Jeju – Nexon Computer Museum
A work colleague who saw our Facebook posts of our Jeju trip over the last several days messaged me and encouraged us to find time to visit Nexon Computer Museum. Nexon is a South Korean-Japanese video game developer and publisher,
Day 06 @ Jeju – Northeast Jeju – Haenyeo Divers
Umutgae Beach is a pretty long stretch, with the Haenyeo divers performing at the section that’s at the foot of Seongsan. We caught the 2PM performance today, and didn’t expect it to be this well attended. There were large groups
Day 06 @ Jeju – East Jeju – Seongeup Folk Village, Umutgae Coast and Hado Coastal Road
Aside from our ascent up Seongsan Mountain earlier this morning, a visit to Seopjikoji and also the Haenyeo diver performance later in the day, the rest of Day 06 today was basically filler itinerary around these three places, and also
Day 06 @ Jeju – East Jeju – Seopjikoji
We returned to our guesthouse after our descent from Seongsan Mountain, washed up, packed, and checked out for our trip to our next location: Seopjikoji. We’d, a couple of days back, visited Suwolbong at the western end of Jeju. Seopjikoji
