Jeju is an incredible place to relax
Jeju Island is the best place to take a break from everything and meet interesting people. You can see and do a lot in 7 days of travel.
Most of the entertainment is very cheap, but getting to some locations can be difficult. Waiting for buses can take up to 30 minutes, and the journey to the location can take up to 1.5 hours. It is best to check in advance until what time certain establishments work and organize your route wisely. But in order not to wait for buses and reduce travel time, it is better to order a taxi in the kakao T application. It will also not be too expensive, and the saved time can be spent exploring new locations. You don’t have to worry about the application and payment, since you don’t need to have a Korean phone number to register, and in the payment column you can indicate “cash to the driver”.
So, about some differences. For those who have not gone karting, Jeju has a huge territory for this and a beautiful view of nature to boot. For one person 10 km (several laps) I paid 40,000 won (~2400 rubles). You can choose less, since 10 km is quite a long time, at some point I got tired of driving. The view from the karting is incredible. There are also many interesting activities on the territory, in addition to karting.
For those who have not traveled in a submarine - this is also a great opportunity to do so in Jeju. For one person, the ticket was 53,000 won (~3000 rubles) taking into account the coupon. If you want a discount, then take a brochure at the hotel, they are like advertisements in a prominent place. The journey takes 1-1.5 hours and as a bonus they will take a photo for you as a souvenir and print it out.
And on the way back to the shore, they will take you for a ride with the wind on another boat on the top floor.
My special recommendation is the botanical garden in Hallim Park. One hour is definitely not enough to see everything. A huge number of different trees and plants. For the first time I saw figs, bananas, pitahaya, kiwi, persimmon and many other things growing in real life. In addition to plants, there are also animals that can freely walk around the park. There is also a beautiful location with a Korean village.
In Donnaeko resort, you can immerse yourself in nature to the fullest. In one part, there is a shallow stream with stones and an incredible view. The trees block the sky, but the sun's rays pass through the branches, and a fog appears above the stream. It seems like these are hot springs, but the water is icy, and the view is beautiful. In another part, you can take a vest for free and swim. The path takes a little longer, since you need to go down the stairs.
In another part of the island, you can visit Seongsan Ilchulbong ("Sunrise Peak"). The ticket costs 5,000 won (~300 rubles), if I'm not mistaken. Here you need to climb to the top of the volcano, the path can be difficult, but worth it, since this is the best place to watch the sunrise. #Jeju #Sogwipo #Karting #Nature #Seongsan #Jeju #Donnaeko #Hallim #Sea #Recreation
