Remarkable, Authentic Cheju-Do (Jeju Island)

The one place that i love most in Korea is Jeju Island... and seriously, tea rasa mmg nak sangat2 repeat lagi sekali Jeju Island tour nie dalam masa terdekat, in sha Allah, kalo ada rezeki... bagi orang2 yang suka nature, Jeju is the place, it's full of wonderful naturally-occuring attractions yang awesomeness... UNESCO heritage ada 4 sites kot kat Jeju nie...

One tips about visiting Jeju island ni, u must never ever make trip time winter, pilih waktu2 lain, sbb time winter, most tempat ditutup.. so, rugi aje laaa dah bayar mahal2 flight, cuti & masa.... sila datang time autumn (paling cantik), summer or spring...

cara2 nak gi ke Jeju island ni via flight la.. it's about 1 hour flight from Seoul.. tea naik Jeju Air aritu from Seoul, the ticket is about RM 120 saje all in.  kalo gi Jeju, u need AT LEAST 7 days utk tour all the attractions in Jeju island.. serius, mmg banyak sangat tempat2 cantik di Jeju ni...

below is the Map places of attractions in Jeju .. kalo korang nak tengok lagi dekat... Klik Sini Jeju Island Map - Attractions

kami sampai di Jeju Island pada 16/10/2012 malam... and bila sampai2 aje kami terus check in di Yeha Guesthouse, it's very near to airport, about 10 mins drive aje...it's highly recommended to stay at Yeha... they have kitchen yang spacious, power supply with adaptors macam2 jenis appliances, PCs to surf internet & free phone for local call (utk call teksi etc)... Yang paling tea suka is, they do provide cooking utensils for Muslims!!! not to mention they also have free flow of egg, drinks (as in coffee, tea and juices), kimchi, rice etc,...

the room is very nice, clean & completes the basic needs... kalo nak usha2 rate Yeha guesthouse, tengok sini yerrr...... Yeha Guesthouse

ni tea saje jenjalan dekat area hotel, actually kitorang on the way ke food market yang terletak agak jauh dari hotel, well of course kitorang walk aje, sbb ingatkan walking distance.. skali.. huhuhuhuhuhu..... 


ni dekat lorong betul2 belakang Yeha Guesthouse... on the way ke 24 hrs mini mart (ala2 7 eleven la)...


Ni pintu masuk Yeha guesthouse...


Okay, on the 17th october tu, cam biasa sbb budget tight, kitorang mmg bekfes kat Guesthouse aje, sbb free flow of roti, egg etc kan, tp untuk lunch, kami mmg makan besar..... Since kami kat Jeju, kami makan seafood dishes.. dia panggil haemultang... sedappp gilosssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss..... lain2 cam ikan bakar ke ape sume mmg order skali la...


Ni dia Seafood Haemultang... ada siput, sotong, ketam, sayur2 macam2 laaaaaaaaaaaa dalam ni... mmg kuah sup dia wahhhhh manis nyer dengan macam2 seafood dalam tu, bukan manis gula ek, manis isi sotong, ketam etc tu lar... and siput or kerang yang dimasak depan kitorang tu, mmg still hidup lg tauuu... aduh.. luluh hati tengok si siput dying slowly... uhuhuhuhuhu...


Awal2 trip kami, kitorang start dekat Ilchulbong Peak.. mmg kena mendaki sikit lah.. tp sbb scenery dia yang cantik.. tak terasa langsung penat tu...Ilchulbong peak ni UNESCO heritage site, asalnya kawah gunung berapi la.... sangat cantik.....


Dekat Ilchulbong ni, kami ternampak ramai giler remaja2 Korea tengah berjoget gangnam beramai2... kat bawah ni diorang tengah joget la... rugi tak amek video.. ihihihihi....


Selepas ke Ilchulbong, kami ke Sangumburi Crater... another kawah gunung berapi, but it's bigger & macam2 flora ada kat sini... the view is soooo breathtaking & nyaman & serene & magnificent!!!!! mmg cantik sangat2 tempat ni... i cannot find the exact words to describe the beauty of Sangumburi, so you can scroll down to the pics below utk menjamu mata dengan keindahan alam ciptaan Allah...


 On the way to Majanggul Lava Tube Cave, we came across fields full of flowers & ada sederet kincir angin, tp tea ter"snap" kincir angin satu aje.. aaaaaaaaaaaa... patutnye snap yang sederet tu baru nampak santek~~~ since kitorang bising2 tu, pakcik tu offer utk berenti amek gamba tepi jalan.. maka kami immediately setujuk.... hehehhehe

 Later, we went to explore the Majanggul Lava Tube Cave... it's a cave, tp cave ni terbentuk dari lava yang dah mengeras... Gua ni panjang, tp cuma accessible sepanjang 1.2 km saje.... lain2 tak dibuka ke public... cam seriau2 jugak laa kan nak masok~~ tp whatever, pengalaman ini penting~~~~


This is the turtle rock..

Pakcik teksi sabar menunggu kami yang gigih cam-wh*ring... hahahahhaha.. pakcik ni sangat friendly & terer cakap English, so communication is not a problem... he is a very good tour guide... kalo nak contact dia, sila tengok kat business card kat bawah nie.. he's very2 friendly & helpful... kat card dia ada tulis website dia... tea da masuk website tu, tp banyak bahasa korea la.. err.. tak paham.. tp kalo nak book dia, you can book one day in advance....


Then, kitorang singgah ke Trickart museum... mmg sini buleh cam-wh*ring sesungguh hati sbb banyak sangat art2 yang funny, puzzling, macam2 laaaa.... another must-go place....
























The next day on 18th Oct, awal2 pagi lagi kitorang ke Halla-san mountain untuk mendaki.... honestly, kitorang mmg underestimate kesejukan & preparation untuk naik Halla-san nie.. bayangkan, kami cuma pakai jeans, jacket tahan sejuk, sneakers... sbb kitorang budget, setakat Yeonsil Trail (the shortest hiking trail)... Around Halla-san ni ada 5 hiking trails...
  1. Gwaneumsa trail - 8.7 km
  2. Eorimok trail - 4.7 km
  3. Seongpanak trail - 9.6 km
  4. Yeongsil trail - 3.7 km
  5. Donnaeko trail - 9.1 km
Cara nak gi ke kaki gunung Halla ni, mmg satu cara aje.... naik teksi.. mmg jauh gilerrrrrrrrrrrrrr dari hotel... sbb Halla-san is the heart of Jeju,... the locals say that Jeju is Halla, Halla is Jeju... Halla betul2 kat tengah2 pulau Jeju....


Bawah ni statue simbol Jeju-island... dibuat dari batu2 gunung berapi & diukir simbol er.... how do i say this... er....  "kelelakian".. hehehhe.. sbb tu sumer nyer ber"topi"... hahahhahahaha.... tea tak sanggup nak beli buat souvenir & kasi hadiah kat orang.. hahahhaha.. takpelah.. biarlah rahsia....


okay lah... ini aja kot info sharing tea about Jeju... i should have stayed longer there... arrghhhhh.... tp nak wat canne... kitorang tak expect Jeju ni sangat2 best camtu... huhuuhuh.. serious mmg kena repeat lagi sekali.. tak puas laa gi sini... soo many places that we've missed....

Antara tempat2 yang kitorang tak sempat pegi (sob... sob... sob....) are the followings, but I do hope to repeat Jeju trip one fine day... in sha Allah... tp list ni yang tea rasa must-go... ada banyak lagi dalam list, tp buleh google kot, or buleh amek pamphlet kat Jeju airport, kat sana list lagi banyak... and if you're running short of time, boleh mintak pakcik teksi tu prioritize yang mana paling berbaloi utk gi visit....

  1. Hallim park - kampung traditional, parks, patung2 from batuan gunung berapi....
  2. Samseonghyeol - the legendary Three Holes
  3. Folk villages - ni ada banyak, pilih salah satu aje la...
  4. Love Land... err... tanak describe.. sila tanya pakcik Google... ahahhahahhaha... untuk 18SX aje theme park nie...
  5. Yeomiji Botanic Garden
  6. Iho Beach
  7. Cheonjiyeon Waterfall
  8. Seopjikoji
  9. Kimyoung Maze
  10. Glass castle


till then,
