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!

Day 4 : Jeju Island

Location : Gimnyeong Maze Park, Manjanggul Cave, Mysterious Road & Samnyang Black Sand   Beach
Date : 26th November 2014

안녕...

While searching the information on the attraction at Jeju Island prior my departure to Korea, I've found that it is necessary for travelers to get the right direction on how to go to one place and the right phone number of the place or nearby attraction. It is because if you are driving and had GPS in your car, it is very much helpful to you. The GPS require us to key in the phone number of the place, then it will guide us there. However, it might be inconvenient if the information or phone number you have is wrong. We get lose few times due to the information we had is not accurate.

 Gimnyeong Maze Park

There are actually have two maze in Jeju Island. The biggest one is Maze Land (where Running Man filmed one of their episode) and the other one is Gimnyeong Maze Park. Since we don't have much time, we go to the nearest one from the city which is Gimnyeong Maze Park. The entrance fee is only KRW3,300.

HOW TO GO AROUND JEJU ISLAND?

There are 4 options that can be considered to go around Jeju Island :

1. By public transport - Public bus/taxi
2. By tour bus - For example is Yeha Bus Tour. A discount will be given to the guests of their guesthouse >> More Info
3. By rental car - I booked a car with KT Kumho
4. Rent a motorcycle

During my visit, I use rental car to explore Jeju Island. I only have 2 full days to cover attractions at Jeju Island. Of course...it won't be enough to cover all the places with a limited times. Then, I have a reason to come again right!!

Day 3 - Busan Part IV

Location : Heundae Beach
Date : 26th November 2014

안녕...

Nampak tak how long I take to write the next entry??? 미안해...to myself ㅋㅋㅋ. Class has start and I need to pay more attention...to be more focus on my study since the subjects are getting harder and harder. Plus, I need to concentrate on my job. Arghhh...so many things to do as sometimes I don't even know which one to be my priority. Never mind, no matter what...life must go on. 힘!!!화이팅!!! 

This entry is actually a continuation from here

Direction to Heundae Beach :

As I come from Nurimaru Apec, I choose to just walk and it takes about 15-20 minutes. Or else, you may refer here. There is Heundae Station if you prefer to go by subway. However, from my experience it is quite far to walk from the station to the beach.

Heundae beach is a famous beach in Busan and South Korea. Personally, I'd love to spend more time if I come here again in the future. Just to enjoy the night view, of course to see the sunset and to muhasabah diri! (Gedik tol muhasabah diri sampai Korea. Hahahaaa...) The beach is so beautiful with the white sand and blue ocean. The other reasons are due to 아버님 어머님 is staying here at one of those apartments perhaps 히히히히 (tak dapat jumpa anak, dapat merasa sipi-sipi kat mana PIL tinggal pun takpela. Dushhhh! Senget!...Huntong2 terserempak. Who knows~~ mode : gedik!).

Mungkinkah bangunan yang tinggi itu???
