We left the Irwol Botanical Garden at 11 AM, and drove for 45 minutes to reach the Tando Port Area. The Klook itinerary was for us to find lunch in the area first, but it seemed like our driver misunderstood and instead drove us to the Seohaerang Jebu Marine Cable Car station for us. There is a cafe selling overpriced pastries and beverages at the ground floor, another cafe on the second floor which does bread type pastries and also a convenience store as well. This cable car system is the longest in Korea, running for 2.12 kilometers above the sea around Jebudo Island, and connected to Jeongok Port. It was low-tide at the early afternoon timing when we took the cable car ride, so it was largely mud flats below us.
Jebudo itself is a small island that is accessible by a couple of ways: by cable car system – which I suspect is used only by tourists and visitors – by road, and also apparently by a foot path that is accessible at low tide. To be honest, there wasn’t much on the island itself at least during this winter season, aside from seafood type restaurants, cafes and a couple of convenience stores. There were a few visitors about exploring the area, but they all looked like locals. Clearly, this island isn’t a well-known or popular place to visit for tourists!
Comments and pictures:
There wasn’t really that much to do on the island, so we took the return cable car at 2:30PM and went about to find a place near to Tando Port for a very late lunch. Our day’s activities are concluded in the next post!
