I haven't kept a journal in a long time. The last time I started writing was a little strategy or mindset that I couldn't help but feel proud of when I got into graduate school two years ago.
After that there was nothing to write about, nothing to express, really nothing to write about, and it was just blank until I went to Jeju Island a few days ago, which gave me a renewed desire to keep track of my punch cards and cherish my memories.
This was the first time I found my own strategy and planned my own route, and the completion and satisfaction was high. All in all, the beauty of Jeju Island lived up to my expectations, and the photos I left behind lived up to the beauty of Jeju~ ~
On the first day, our group, m-girls 6.4, took flight 7C145 from Gimpo Airport at 16:45.
The landing time was 18:00. a little longer than I expected.
The weather was very nice. When you leave the airport you will have a great vacation. Coconut trees have such amazing powers.
Without staying at the airport for too long, I took a taxi and went straight to the hotel. Before we left, we booked the hotel at Jeju's No. 1 Store (48), Sky Garden, a 3-star hotel, close to the airport. The cab fare was 3000 ~ 4000 won and it was also relatively close to the Jeju coach station (). The cost is equivalent to going to the airport. In front of the hotel is Health Road, known as Jeju's Little Myeongdong. It is very convenient to eat, drink and shop in a street. The hotel's convenient location and good accommodation provided a good foundation for our tour.
(I didn't want to spend too much money on accommodation before, but last time I stayed in Busan, I suffered too much and was shocked, so this time I chose a "high class" hotel instead of a "budget" hotel~)
Evening at the Health Road I found a random restaurant to eat something. I'm not a big fan of food myself, and I didn't do much research on it, so I skipped it.
The second day of Jeju's public **** transportation is not so developed, the attractions are also slightly scattered, buses and cabs are not so convenient specific analysis, refer to the "say go Jeju Island "visa-free transportation" full strategy! Jeju Hive Free Travel, so the second day, the first day of the official tour, we chose to rent a car.
Considering the late check-in and safety issues, chartered two days in advance on Taobao to achieve, in Shanghai Weicheng travel franchise chartered a Kia five-seater 10 hours 580 yuan. Orders generated to get in touch with the master.
We are with Master Shen, Korean, but their Chinese is particularly good, good attitude. There is no indiscriminate promotion of semi-compulsory consumption, we feel very good. My feeling is that respect is mutual. If you treat people with courtesy, they will treat you with courtesy.
The weather on the second day was exceptionally good in rainy Jeju, with blue skies and bright sunshine~ ~ Because it was the only day of the charter, we arranged a compact itinerary, and went to four places in one ****, namely, Sungsan Sunrise Peak - Land-related branches - Ushima Island - Sanggun.
Seongsan Daily
The driver told us that Seongsan Sunrise Peak is very famous as the first place to go for everyone who comes to Jeju Island. Maybe the expectations were too high or maybe we went there after the sunrise, so it wasn't as amazing as we thought it would be.
We left our hotel at 9am and arrived at Sunrise Peak around 10am. Before entering the Sunrise Peak, you need to buy a ticket, adults 2000 per person. sunrise 200 meters to the top of the peak, the four of us panting to climb up, the middle of the stop three or four times (on the importance of the usual exercise.). Finally at nearly 11 o'clock when the summit, sweaty, early morning spent half of the makeup. The scenery of the mountain is still good, the wind slightly blowing crispy, we took a shot~
This is a shortcut down the mountain. It was after twelve when we got back to the car. My little brother was careful to say that it usually only takes about an hour per person to go up and down the mountain (857)
Land-related support
Land-related support is just a little bit next to Cow Island, which is ten minutes away by car. The black reef that can support land related support is POINT and the scenery is superb! Pale words, look at the pictures!
Bull Island
After visiting the land, we got in the car and went all the way to Bull Island in a mad dash. 10-15 minutes away ~ ~ because we discussed and decided to add Junshan to this attraction, so the time in Bull Island is greatly reduced. The charter time is ten hours, which means we have to be back to the hotel by seven, so my brother suggested that we must be back to the pier by four ~ about fifteen minutes by boat to Niudao. The round-trip ticket is 5500. we took the boat at 13:40 and arrived at Niushima harbor at around 14:00 ~ the boat is small but very stable, the sea breeze blowing on us is very comfortable~
After going to the island, a few of us were hungry and went straight into a restaurant that looked like a chain store. The ambience was great~ ~I ordered one and paid 8000. it was full of thinly shredded black pork. It was delicious!
It was already 2:30 when I came out after eating, and I was about to head for the scenic spot. When I raised my eyes, I found (cow island peanuts). I had heard that Cow Island Peanut Ice Cream Grey is always delicious and it was right in front of me. How could I not try it? So
Then our official departure time became 2:45 p.m. Since we had to be back on shore by four, we needed to catch the boat that returned at 3:30 p.m. We were able to get back on the boat at 3:30 p.m., which was the same time we had been on the ferry. We sifted through the sights on the map and decided to just go to White Beach. You can rent bicycles, motorized bikes, scooters, and tricycles on Bull Island. But our stay was short, so we opted for the most primitive form of transportation, - legs. When we found the white sand beach under the hot sun, it was already 3:05. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take pictures!
Don't be too descriptive or lyrical about the scenery, it's beautiful anyway.
After clicking, we ran back to catch the return boat, which departed for the next attraction at 4 o'clock sharp!
Armybury
Mountain was definitely the dark horse of the first day! The shiny kind!
After a 45-minute drive, we arrived at Mountain Army. I'm Different was a big hit right from the name.Tickets stopped at 5:30, so there were very few people when we arrived. Adult admission is 6000. probably a bit of visual fatigue after a day of seeing the sea. From the first glance, the deep and light green color filled my eyes, "wow~" "sky~" "fog grass." The exclamations were endless~
Although we were late, the sparse crowds made for a more soothing viewing experience. The wide green space, the not-so-high fence, the paved stone path to the sky, the entrance, the stone pools made of rocks, the bomb craters, together with the sunset that was tilted at just the right angle, and the breeze that swept across our cheeks, Yamajun's inseparable as his name suggests, was a romantic and perfect end to our second day~
Day 3
Day three was a terrible day. The wind was howling, the rain was howling, and the heart was roaring! In such bad weather, we were out of the warm embrace of the charter bus and had to rely on public **** transportation for everything! On the third day, we took a tour of Seogwipo, the southernmost part of Jeju Island, a Chinese tourist area (which just happens to be called "The Chinese" and has nothing to do with us, the Chinese~). From the airport, there's a 600 bus that runs to Seogwipo, passing through the Chinese tourist area and a number of luxury hotels ~ so at 8:30am, we left the hotel and took a cab to the airport ~ we got into the cab, told the driver that we wanted to go to the airport, and after I started dialing the meter, I casually asked "which side of the airport can I take the 600 bus to? " The driver told me that we didn't need to go to the airport, and that the 600 bus would stop in front of us. I was at a loss for words. Misty Prairie is so convenient to our hotel? Not surprised! No surprise! So we got off the bus less than 200 meters away from the hotel and paid 2800 to start.
As soon as we sat down at the platform, a driver who didn't know if he was a black car driver or a cab driver kept coming over to ask us where we were going, if we were going to Barabara, the Chinese area. Then he said you take 600 for the ticket, 5000 for one person and you four give me another 5000 or 25000. we left Barabara immediately. Considering that I don't know if the ticket price of 600 is really 5000, considering that his car is not. Not long after we refused, a bus pulled up in front of us and the four of us gawked for a while. It wasn't until the car started to drive away that we saw that gorgeous 6!0!0!!! underneath the car... Nyah, this 600 bus is very different from the bus manager's ah! And the 600 in the front of the bus was super small! At that time my blood pressure was a little high. The driver, who couldn't die, lobbied again, saying that the next bus would take a long time, blah blah blah. I refused as soon as I got upset! The aggrieved me was also my awkward friends who were having cancer attacks. Luckily, the next bus didn't arrive until after 9 ~ it didn't take long at all! No more than 20 minutes! And the ticket wasn't 5,000, it was 4,500!!! we'll have to be careful when we go out there!
And with that, our third day began ~ the weather was really bad, so we only went to two places in the Chinese tourist area. Believe it or not, the museum - the columnar jointing zone along the Oura coast.
Believe it or not.
Take the 600 bus for about 45 minutes and get off in front of the () Chinese Tourist District (as in Dimei Botanical Gardens). This is a densely populated area with attractions. As soon as you get off the bus, you can see the Believe It or Not Museum ~ it's raining more and more outside, and the museum opens at 10:00am. Plus the previous homework said this museum is very interesting, so we bought tickets and went in. Ticket price 10000 yuan.
This museum is about all kinds of weird and wonderful things in the world, wax figures that are more realistic, and others. Hmmm. We'll just take shelter from the rain inside ( _ )
We stayed at the museum until 11:30, and there was really nothing to do, so we decided to find a restaurant to eat Jeju's famous black pork. We looked around the NAVER map and realized it was nearby, so we left the museum in the pouring rain and gusting wind. The Teddy Bear Museum is right across the street from the Believe It or Not Museum, which we didn't go back to. Based on our ratings of Believe It or Not, we agreed that there shouldn't be a more boring museum, so we'd recommend that fat people debating between the two museums go straight to Teddy.
The place where we ate black pork is called, Believe It or Not, right behind Teddy's, adjacent to the scenic spot, and it's a specialty. Black pork is naturally more expensive ~ black pork for one person five eighteen thousand dollars. The four of us only ordered two people, the other cheapest 10,000 meals, spent 76,000 ( _ )
That's right. So much blackened pork for two in the middle, just sitting on a small plate.
People like me, who don't eat fat or skin and are extremely insensitive to meat, should not try the five-flake black pork lightly. Forgive me, I could only eat a little bit of lean meat in one piece and couldn't taste any difference from regular pork. Anyway, as far as this meal is concerned, the punchline goes beyond enjoying or even filling your stomach. It's basically, "Wow, I'm also pissed off by people who've tasted Jeju black pork~!" (_)
Daepo Coastal Columnar Joint Zone
After dinner, we went back to where we got off the bus and took the 600 bus to the famous Columnar Joint Zone Park. The stop where we got off was still a bit far from the main entrance of the park, as the drop-off point was on the side of the road and the park was behind the road. We wandered around the periphery of the park along the map for a long time before we found the entrance to the park. The entrance fee to the park is 2,000 yen. The view of the park was completely washed away by the heavy rain and the coconut trees and black rock piles failed to show off. All we can say is that the weather was really bad. Woohoo~
The representative image of Jeju Island stands in the park (I adjusted the light and clarity for a long time.)
The innermost part of the park is a wooden trestle bridge that extends outward. When you stand at the top, you can see the columnar festival up close. I had to marvel at how amazing nature really is with the pillars, but it was a little dizzying to see too much~
After watching from the trestle for a while, the wind was so strong that the umbrellas were blown over. We felt like we couldn't hold our breath, so we hurriedly left the trestle bridge. There were also sightseeing boats on the sea that bobbed up and down with the high winds and waves, and with each bump you could hear squeals of killer excitement and panic. Indeed. I was on a boat with a rope.
The photos look pretty calm, but my ears still seem to be filled with the sounds of "fog and grass". Men, sometimes they are so beaten up ( _ )
Because of the weather conditions, we abandoned our last plan to go to Tiandiyuan Falls, and took the 600 bus at this stop at 3:00 and went straight back to the hotel. Unsurprisingly, the rain stopped right outside the hotel. Ahhhh!
Day 4
It's the last day of our trip~ It's not raining anymore and some sunflowers are already blooming. It's already very satisfying~ Originally, we were only planning to go to the Wukan Green Tea Museum and Yue's Yoonbong Jeju Cao Tang (both of them are relatively close to each other and both are owned by Amore Pacific). Considering that the previous day was a shame, we decided to make up for the Yaeyak coastal area that we had painfully given up on in the first place~ ~This day took the authentic and refreshing route, basically
Day 4's route was Wugul Green Tea Museum - Yue's Yoonbong Jeju Hut - Yaeyak Chunil Café~
Wugul Green Tea Museum
Today, because the two places we were going to run to were far away from each other, I left the house at 8:00 am I left the house~ I had to take bus 755 to go to Buseok Brigade and Wolji, and the departure station is Jeju Coach Terminal. But when I did my homework before, I found out that since this bus passes by the Hanna Hospital Station () near our hotel, we walked straight for about ten minutes to take the 755~important, proving once again the importance of having easy access to transportation near the hotel!
Gossegulin is more of a greasy tea store than a museum. You don't need a ticket to get in. A short corridor with a brief history of tea leads you to the OSULLOC store. There are beautifully packaged teas, herbal teas, and green tea-flavored ice cream. The green tea flavored ice cream was superb. My friend already bought it. I only tasted a little bit because of my health. The green tea flavor is strong and decisively worth 5,000 yen. Outside is a green forest with a beautiful layout and a fitting backdrop shot. Instantly one of us was possessed by beans, haha~
Yueyoonbong Jogui Hut
Wooseokgoling and Yuesi Yoonbong Jeju Hotel are very close to each other. Outside the door is a green tea field specially planted by Amore Pacific for the innisfree green tea line. The significance for me still can't have a backdrop for photos anymore.
Entering the hut at Etsy Yoonbong is still a combination of shopping and eating. I was told that there are a lot of indie cosmetics here that can only be bought at this store. I didn't scrutinize them because I was hungry~ I wanted to eat~
For my previous assignment, the blogger recommended the Sea Woman's Table and the description was so delicious so even though it was 16,000, I hesitated to order it and the appearance was still great.
As for eating it, well, I eat the value, not the flavor. And I didn't find an element of sea lady in this package. The biggest thing about this meal for me was the photo above. Hmmm.
Ayue Spring Café
We took the 755 bus back to Hanna Hospital at 12:22 p.m. The NAVER map and the bus stops there showed that you could transfer directly to the 702 bus to get to the Ayue. We arrived at Hannah Hospital again around 1:00pm. Then I waited and waited at the bus stop, and the 702 never came. At this point, a Chinese-speaking old man told us that bus 702 doesn't pass by here. If you want to take bus 702 ****, you have to go to the coach station. Instantly, my blood pressure rose again. I wished I just took the 755 bus**** to the coach station and then got on the 702 bus**** over there. So we immediately took another cab to the bus station, and after a bit of faffing around, we boarded the 702 bus that left for Yayoi at two o'clock. About an hour later, we got off at the station closest to Chunil Café, and found it after walking a few steps to the beach ~ the café is said to be a unique location for many Korean dramas. It's worth mentioning that the famous cafe that starts with M in GD and Kasuga's cafe are only separated by a short wall, but we're not fans and expected that there might be more cafes than people there, so we chose the smaller and more refreshing Kasuga~ ~Two cafe's for those who are interested~ ~The cafe's significance to us certainly wasn't the coffee haha~
The sea outside the window, the ear to ear with the the sound of waves lapping the shore.
All in all, we had a warm time like the sound of clapping hands in spring hahaha~ ~ ~
Day 5
Last day! Our flight was at 12:05pm, so we packed up and headed out in the morning because we were going shopping! Free! Taxes! Shopping! Yes, there are duty free stores on Jeju domestic flights~ ~After shopping at the duty free stores, we took flight 7C114 with Yoo Dae-wai on it back to Seoul~ A perfect end to our five days and four nights on Jeju~ ~
Hou: Why I value this trip.
It's probably the last time in my 20 lifetimes that I'll be able to swim.
Just like these six months, escaping from the heavy exams, the stress of love and marriage and relationships, the bitterness of employment or further education, and escaping to Korea, thousands of miles away, gave me some respite from the high-pressure phase of my life.
This trip was the end of my escape. Afterward, I would return to a normal life filled with stress in all areas.
It's a remembrance of the six months of shrewdness that didn't match my life's trajectory; it's also a rite of passage, marking the end of my life's cleverness.
