Day 5 : Jeju Island Part II

Location : Seongsan Ilchulbong (성산일출봉)
Date : 28th October 2014

안녕...

Today we are going to southern part of Jeju Island which is Seogwipo. It takes about 1 1/2 hours - 2 hours from Jeju City depends on your driving skill. Our first destination is Seongsan Ilchulbong, another UNESCO World Heritage site.

Also called ‘Sunrise Peak’, is an archetypal tuff cone formed by hydrovolcanic eruptions upon a shallow seabed about 5 thousand years ago
Since the main purpose is to watch sunrise, we go out at 4.00am and arrive there around 5.15am. It still dark and quiet when we arrive there. But a few people start to go up to be at the peak before sunrise. We start hike around 5.30am and reach the peak at 6.15am. Huarghhh...penat!!! 

Hiking dalam gelap. Masing2 tak terfikir nak bawak torchlight. Nasib baik trek ok...
드디오...했어요 우리!
The best view can be captured! Sun shy shy nak rise. Nak kata mendung, tak pun...

View di awal pagi

Masa ni kami dipaksa turun beramai-ramai. Riuh Ahjussi tu suruh kitorang turun. Aisehhh...tak sempat aku nak menikmati alam la Ahjussi ni. Tak lama pun kat puncak sebab kerja-kerja baikpulih sedang dilakukan di atas puncak. Salute jugaklah kat Ahjussi tu semua sebab leh buat kerja kat tempat macam tu.


Inilah helikopter yang menyebabkan kami 'diusir' turun :(
Kerja2 ubahsuai sedang dijalankan di belakang (update : The renovation work is over. The place become more beautiful and organize. Huhuhuuu...jealous!)
Haaaaa...kalau pagi tadi tak nampak jalan, sekarang inilah sedikit tangga-tangga yang kami panjat dalam kegelapan pagi tadi. Tinggi beb!! Tangga kat Batu Caves pun aku tak pernah panjat....


Ada women diver performance juga. Sayangnya lama lagi nak tunggu. Since there are many other places to go, we decide to skip this performance. Next time may be!



On the way turun ke bawah

Actually, there are charges for parking (KRW1,000-2,000) and admission (KRW2,000). However, since we arrive early in the morning, the counter still close and we plan to pay when we go down. Again...the counter still close. Heheeee...Jadi anggaplah itu rezeki.
