Jeju Island in the off-season is a paradise for self-healing This time I stayed in Yayue Village A place where you can see the sea and the lighthouse when you open the window The day I arrived, my hat flew off as soon as I got out of the taxi without any precautions Put down my luggage and take a walk nearby The wind is so strong that I walk two meters and retreat three meters Decided to eat barbecue in the nearest restaurant After eating, I went back to the hotel and took a rest Took the bus to Ilchul Peak to watch the sunset Hahaha, yes, watching the sunset at Ilchul Peak The wind was a bit smaller at this time The weather is not so cold, very comfortable Came when it was about to close, few people, equivalent to a private booking In the evening, I went to a popular restaurant that is the same as the one in the love series The dishes are indeed very fresh and the prices are quite affordable The lobster ramen can be said to be the ramen of my life So fresh that it's amazing! The next day I slept until I woke up naturally, it was a cloudy day There is sun, but not much Find a coffee shop nearby and have a beautiful breakfast Why say it's beautiful, it's literal Beautiful scenery, beautiful food Then I took the bus to the pier Boarded the ship to Udo Wow, the scenery is really good Without an international driver's license, I could only rent an electric bicycle It's not bad, it's not tiring at all But we sat down at the first beach Never got up again until the return trip The dong of the jelly sea is the dong of heart The seawater is really like jelly, duangduang Sitting on the beach eating a fish cake The soup base is actually made of kelp, another little surprise In the evening, I went to the same barbecue omakase as the love series The meat quality is definitely not as good as the one I ate the day before The main thing is to experience the different tastes of different parts of the pig's body The service is excellent, just open your mouth all the way On the third day, I still slept until I woke up naturally Went directly to Xiaocai Beach to eat at the same restaurant as Gong Liu and Lee Dong Wook The seafood pancake is fragrant and crispy, very, very delicious Other dishes did not leave a stunning feeling Although it rained heavily this day But the transparency of Xiaocai Beach is not inferior to Udo I also met a magpie during the walk This place is so comfortable, I want to stay for a few days next time

#jeju This is the view of Seongsan, also known as the Sunrise Peak. It is a UNESCO, World Natural Heritage Site. It is more accessible by car as buses are infrequent and the timings are unreliable. Seongsan Ilchulbong Tuff Cone rose 180 meters above sea level due to a magma flow under the sea over 5,000 years ago. The crater is about 600 meters in diameter and 90 meters deep. It takes around 50 minutes for a round trip up and down the mountain. However, it requires a fee to hike. The view from the free zone is also amazing! Worth it.

Jeju Island should be a very representative place for Korean tourism. Although Jeju Island is not very big, there are many interesting places. Here is a collection of attractions that I think are recommended and not recommended: recommend: Seongsan Ilchulbong: An excellent place overlooking the city and sea, and also a good place to enjoy the sunrise over the sea. If you come to play in spring, you can also see rapeseed flowers all over the mountains and plains, which is very good. Niu Island: An outlying island with coral sand beaches, the sea water is rich in color and the water quality is very clear. It is recommended to drive around the island, or you can take the tourist cycle bus on the island. The tiger never leaves: The filming location of "Love Wind, Love Song" and the large reed field along the way are very suitable for taking beautiful photos with strong autumn atmosphere. Halla Mountain: Spring and autumn are the most suitable seasons for sightseeing. There are azaleas in spring and red leaves in autumn. If you go in winter, the mountains are mostly ice and snow roads, but they also have a special flavor. The ground can be supported: one side is a cliff and the other is the ocean, and the path leading to the lighthouse is very beautiful. Columnar joint belt: It is a spectacle formed by the high-temperature lava from volcanic eruptions meeting the icy sea water. The seaside scenery is beautiful, and fishermen and divers can be seen fishing from time to time. Cherry Blossom Avenue: When the cherry blossoms bloom in early April every year, a cultural festival will be held here. The pink and white cherry blossoms are falling with the wind, which is super beautiful. Not recommended Hello Kitty Theme Park: Maybe girls or children will like it more, but there is no other place to play except for taking pictures, and I don’t have so many hearts, I think this place is not worth spending half a day Play. Teddy Bear Museum: In the past, there was only one teddy bear museum in Jeju Island, and you could come and check in, but there are many museums of this type in the future, so it is not very interesting. Believe it or not Museum: If I remember correctly, there seems to be a similar one in Thailand. We were bored after shopping for half an hour, so we could only take pictures inside. Tiandizhou Waterfall: If you have seen many shocking waterfalls, you will feel quite disappointed when you see such a waterfall. Longtouyan: It is already a must-see place for traveling in the country. In fact, the scenic spot is very small, and there are people everywhere who took pictures of this visit. Nanta Show & Graffiti Show: Whether this form of performance is worth watching, I think it is a matter of opinion, but I personally feel that I am not very able to get a laugh.

Seongsan Ilchulbong#Seongsan Ilchulbong is one of the attraction that you must visit in Jeju Island, South Korea. It is known as "Sunrise Peak" and is a UNESCO world heritage site. This place is known for its magnificent sunrise view. Seonsan Ilchulbong rose from under the sea in a volcanic eruption over 100,000 years ago. If you are in Jeju and wants to catch the Sunrise, do check the sunrise timing and plan your itinerary in advance and your set off time. To hike to the peak, it will take roughly about 20 to 30mins. Although you are setting off in the early morning, there is no need to worry about the hiking route. The hike up is mainly steps and there is well-managed walking path. We travelled during the winter season and it was manageable. However do bring along your jacket as the hike up could be rather chilly. However, we are rather unlucky due to the cloudy day but it was still a good workout. After you are done with peak, the way down there was also many scenic view for photo taking. Overall, it is a must-visit place at Jeju!

Dubbed as the cafe with staircase to heaven, this cafe is definitely one that is the most instagramable. Even it is no longer summer in Jeju, the intense sun of the island still remains rather unforgiving, so I would advise you to either seek refuge in either the second floor of the cafe or one of the sunshade umbrella and enjoy the therapeutic sounds and sights of the waves hit the shores #afternoontea

Seongsan Ilchulbong is probably the next most famous hiking area after Hallasan. The climb up is not long about 30-45 minutes but the steps are steep. This place use to be a volcano about 5000 years ago and have been featured by a lot of films and dramas. At the peak you will see the amazing side of geography because this place use to be a separate island! But over time the build up of sand and soil has made it become one with mainland. It is said that many people wakes up early in the morning to catch the sunrise here. #gohiking

Seongsan Ilchulbong also known at Sunrise Peak - the East end of Jeju Island, Korea, perfect for catching stunning orange sunrise! #jeju

Tuff volcano located in eastern Jeju Island about 180+ metres in height, a famous spot to catch sunrise, weather permitting of course, which unfortunately was shrouded in fog when I was there in mid June. Many flights of stairs, twisting and turning to reach the peak which affords panoramic, bird's eye view of Seongsan town below, the shimmering blue seas of Jeju and Udo island, another famous attraction in the distance. There is also the famous Haenyo, Jeju women free form divers performance, mostly elderly women now who dive into the bountiful seas of Jeju to harvest treasures like the prized Abalone, sea urchin and other seafood, speaking of which the famed Abalone porridge is a must try while here, perhaps with a protein like freshly caught mackerel for a complete meal.

Located on the eastern end of Jeju Island, about an hour and a half drive from Jeju city, sits Seongsan Ilchulbong; otherwise known as Sunrise or Sunset Peak. Now considered to be one of the new 7 wonders of nature, Sunset Peak, as we will refer to it, was also declared a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site with it’s incredible 600m diameter crater at its highest point. When you walk into the vicinity of Sunset Peak, you’ll find a number of tourist-catered cafes and shops catering to the groups of tourists that now flock to the area, whilst panoramic views await you just a further few steps away. What’s more, if you’re visiting Sunset Peak around 1:30 or 3pm, you can catch a glimpse of the Haenyo Divers – local Jeju women diving into the waters to catch fresh abalone, octopus or crabs. There’s a trail opposite the main hike that will lead you down to the island’s bay, where you can perch yourselves and watch the divers disappear into the green waters, or hop on a boat and take a quick ride around the area. 📍 284-12, Ilchul-ro, Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do #leaveyourmark

However the day I went there was not a sunny day I am satisfied with what I get in-front of my eyes 👀. I feel relaxed and I completely forget all my hectic schedule for a while as I completely get drenched inside it. Actually Breathe Taking
