Mountain Market Vibes🌄

Ulleung-gun is one of South Korea’s most underrated getaways, and I loved just soaking in the vibes here 🏝️. Mountains, harbors, and the freshest ocean air — seriously, perfect combo! 😍 Top Spots to Visit: 1. Ulleungdo JD Hostel (164-2, Ulleungsunhwan-ro, Ulleung-eup) — This place nails it for location: big panoramic windows with sunrise views over Jeodong Harbor (waking up early is a must!). If you want a mix of modern comfort and hanok-style charm, book here. Convenience is next level — you’re minutes from Jeodong Port, bus stops, and CU stores. My tip: pack some extra amenities just in case; staff service was okay, but could use a boost. 2. Ssangdungi Restaurant (139-4 Dodong-ri, Ulleung-eup) — When hunger calls, this local hotspot is super handy. Grab classic Korean island fare and don’t rush — it's perfect for post-hike refueling. I recommend trying their seafood dishes; super fresh thanks to the harbor’s proximity. How to Get Around: Buses hop between Dodong and Jeodong, or you can simply stroll the scenic seaside streets. Bring a raincoat — mountain weather shifts quickly (sunny, then rain, then sun again!). Renting a car also makes sense for full island freedom, especially for chasing remote sea views. What to Eat: Snack at CU for quick bites, but treat yourself at local restaurants for real island flavor. Ssangdungi's seafood is my top pick. Destination Tips: No visa required for most visitors. Cash is king at small shops, and don’t forget layers — the weather flips from sunny to cloudy and back in hours! #ulleungdotrip #koreaislandvibes #seasideviews #localeats #hellochristmas
