Private Tour in Jeju - Day 3

Finally onto the last day of the private tour in Jeju! We stayed overnight on this day and flew to Seoul the next day! Here's the itinerary.

Day 3: 
1. Hallim Park
Halim park is a pretty big park. It's more like a botanical garden that provides insight to different plants around the world. What's unique is there are two caves in the park where you can learn about cave formation and structures.

Parrot that says an-yeo-ha-sae-yo!


Maple tree!


Waterfall in the park, I think it's man-made

And a peacock! There's also a bird sanctuary in the park

2. Hyupjae Beach
Hyupjae beach is just another beach near Hallim Park - nothing much to do there, I'm not sure why we went there. It was windy and we didn't spend time at the beach, so no photos here!

3. Mount Sabang & Suweolbong
This is the place where we had nice seafood lunch, and then watch the hanyeo show and climbed the sunrise peak. It's a pity that it was cloudy and foggy that day, however, the peak proved to be worth the climb nonetheless.

At the sunrise peak - it's actually a caldera, and despite the fog, we could still see the base of the caldera! It was super windy and thought we like to stay up there a while we decided to descend.

And the descend is literally down a flight of steps!

4. O’sulloc Green tea Museum
Being a fan of green tea, we went to the green tea museum!

Here's the green tea field!


And so this concludes the Jeju tour! When in Jeju, remember to take the seafood, pork BBQ and try their local restaurants (without the tour guide). We had 4 days (including the first day when we landed mid-day), and it was a little too much, so you can consider having three full days to cover Jeju! Nonetheless we appreciated the relaxing pace :)

Day 9 - another sunny day

It's mid-week! And the skies are clear blue. Lovely day. The number of new cases hit 300+ yesterday, and we need to wear masks when we...
