Not Iceland! It’s South Korea!

Upset about rainy weather, but amazed after seeing this! If you visit Jeju island in South Korea, don’t miss its East. The Sunrise peak was formed 7000 years ago by a volcanic eruption!🌋🙈 And now you can walk around black lava rocks and view this astonishing beauty! Foggy weather made it even more mistique and distinct from other tourists pics. And how about that Starbucks? The best view from the cafe ever! Also try the black sesame latte and special Jeju matcha. #winhkflight

Reflections on my two trips to Jeju Island, and why I want to go again!

🤔How long should I stay? Looking at photos online, Jeju Island seems to be just some small houses by the sea that can be walked in a day. But in reality, it's quite large, about the size of three Seouls and one Xiamen. If you want to see all the beautiful places, a four-day trip is appropriate. 🗺How should I plan my itinerary? My itinerary was mainly about eating, drinking, and having fun, without visiting tourist spots or shopping, but it was still quite tight. Day1: East Line🎈 - Udo - Seongsan Ilchulbong - Sopjikoji; Day2: West Line🎈 - Jeju Yeoyeom Village Resort - East Line Woljeongri; Day3: Seogwipo🎈 - Tangerine Garden - Camellia - Hyeopjae Beach - Ollae Market; Day4: Jeju Island Old Area🎈 - New Area by the sea. 📸The places that are particularly photogenic in order are: Udo, Yeoyeom, Woljeongri, Seogwipo Hyeopjae. These are all seaside areas, with roads leading to the sea and windows with ocean views😍. 🚶How to avoid unnecessary detours? Arrange to visit places that are close to each other, and try not to miss any. Reading more travel guides can help avoid taking the long way🤗. For example, in Yeoyeom, BOMNAL, teamblow, and other stores are not far from each other, and you can arrange to visit them by chartered car on the same day🚗. Woljeongri's mou moon cafe, bagel miseum, and the small dog cafe are also close by, so you can visit them together🐶. 🙅Aren't all seaside roads and small houses the same? Actually, the color of the sea is different😜! The sea at Woljeongri and Yeoyeom is jelly-colored, while Seogwipo's is deep blue. Udo is not very convenient for watching the sunset, you can choose to watch it at Yeoyeom or Seogwipo's Hyeopjae🌇. 👀That's all for my sharing! Have I attracted you😁? Come to Jeju Island and experience it for yourself! 📷Photo order: 1. Ruddy's Seogwipo Hyeopjae; 2. Yeoyeom; 3. Udo; 4. Seongsan Ilchulbong; 5. Yeoyeom; 6. Seongsan Ilchulbong; 7. Udo; 8.

Osulloc Tea Musuem: Heaven for matcha lovers!

📍Osulloc Tea Museum, Jeju LOVE THE MATCHA SLUSHIE! (must try) they do sell a set that comes with a matcha roll, matcha soft serve and matcha slushie (also topped with soft serve). The drink was smooth, matcha taste was strong and not diluted, best off the menu! As for the roll cake, preferred the hallabong flavoured one! (give this a try too! the hint of tangerine brings out the flavour of the cake) After having your desserts, head over to the store to stock up on some matcha snacks, green tea AND DONT MISS THE GREEN TEA MILK SPREAD.

Shinhwa Theme Park is unique in many ways. First, it tries to make its own characters seems as popular as Mickey Mouse and Spider Man - it doesn’t work but it’s great fun just trying to figure out who is who. Second, everything seems brand new - so it’s spotless and at the same standards as a Disneyland or Universal Studios. Third - the rides are small but oh so knock out fun. And there is rarely anyone there. #GiveThanks

Jeju Island, South Korea: Step into the Time Tunnel at Myth World Theme Park 신화테마파크

Address: 98 Sinhwayeoksa-ro 304beon-gil, Andeok-myeon, 특별자치도, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do, South Korea Atmosphere/Facilities: Cinema, food trucks, amusement rides, installation art, large park Features: Hilarious insects, Dancing Oscar, and seven other major story areas. Average Price: 18,000 Korean Won Rating: The theme park integrates the humorous worldview of the globally popular Korean local animation 'Hilarious Insects' into an authentic Korean theme park experience. Including Jeju's only roller coaster 'Dancing Oscar' among various thrilling amusement rides, the park showcases the humorous and witty design of TUBAn animation company... With realistic environments, magical amusement facilities and attractions, cultural exhibitions, and exciting live performances, it offers an immersive experience of the world's most beautiful mythological stories. By the way, the park currently mainly features 'Hilarious Insects' and 'Dancing Oscar'.

Shinhwa Theme Park

#koreatrip A small theme park, good bundle tickets if you stay at the hotel. Was not crowded when we went. Most of the attractions were the spinning sort so fair warning if you are susceptible to dizzy rides. There were some VR rides and plenty of food. Even a fun little make-your-own pizza for the kids. Some attractions require us to share the theme park on social media, I guess to attract more tourists or friends.

Shinhwa Theme Park

Shinhwa Theme Park is filled with characters from a Korean animated show. It is beside the water park a nearby a hotel. Families will definitely have a great time here but as a 21 year old, I enjoyed it too. Entrance to walk in the park is completely FREE but there are tickets to be purchased if you want to ride on the rides. A single ride costs 6000won, 3 rides costs 17,000won and unlimited rides costs 30,000won. In my opinion, it was definitely a fun experience as there are rides more for adults like the Flying Wheel and Oscar’s Spin’n Bump. There are also more chill rides for the kids if they cant take the fast rides. For some rides, the staff will sing a song with the music that is playing which I found it quite cute.

Teddy Bear Museum

#wheretogo Visiting the Teddy Bear Museum was my childhood dreams and now that I am a big kid, it felt great to finally earn some money and checked it off my list. Though I would say times and interest has changed, but I will never regretted coming to Jeju to see it. Teddy Bear Museum as the name says, is a museum full of unique teddy bears from different countries and age. It was quite fun to see so many teddy bears gathered and dressed up for different occasions. At the end of the journey there is a souvenir store, which shockingly still sells the same merchandise my aunt bought for me as a kid.

Teddies everywhere
