Seopjikoji

It is actually located quite near from Seongsan Ilchulbong, about 10 minutes by car. This place is known for a filming location of All-In-House. However...me, myself, are not sure what kind of drama it is or who's the actors. Btw, I am not a K-drama fan at that time. From review I've made earlier, the best time to come here is during spring.

The entrance

From the entrance to the filming location is quite far, I guess. Due to some reason, I didn't went up to the site. Just here...at the entrance. Sedih tau! It's okay, Self...will be here again some day!

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.
