Jeju Island, South Korea | Money-saving guide for a self-guided bus tour in February

| Money-saving guide for a self-guided bus tour in February. I've been to Jeju Island 5 times and have visited almost all the attractions. For first-time visitors, I suggest about 4 days. 【Preparation before departure】: ①Ballpoint pen/, for filling out the entry card 2 Enable international roaming on your phone (for making and receiving calls, remember to turn off mobile data) 3 Pick up a Wifi egg at the domestic airport (recommended) / Purchase a data card online in advance. ④Conversion plug (not necessary, usually provided at the hotel front desk.) 5 Wear sports shoes, Jeju Island is hilly, leather shoes will be tiring. 【Preparation at the airport】: ①ATM on the left side of the exit on the first floor of the airport to withdraw Korean Won, shops also accept Visa, JCB cards. 2 Cu convenience store at the airport, get a T-MoneyCard for the bus. Top up 20,000 Korean Won per person. If it's not enough, you can top up at any convenience store. 【Preparation for return at the airport】: The customs opens at 5:50 in the morning, check in at the front row to see your city's counter, especially for the busiest Tianjin route, don't queue in the wrong line. ◎【Bus guide】: Must download these APPs in advance in China: 1 Baidu Map (search for the nearest bus stop by walking) Papago (translate bus stop names, dialogue translation) 3 KakaoMap (bus route inquiry, get off reminder) 4 KakaoT (Jeju Island has fewer taxis, equivalent to Didi) 〇【Bus riding guide, common place names see comments section】 ①Copy the place you want to go into \"Kakaomap\", click on the 2 bus icon, a route will appear, choose the nearest one. It shows the nearest departure time of the bus, such as: 201 route 8min, indicating that the bus will arrive in 8 minutes. 2 Open \"Baidu Map\", search for the bus stop, click on 201, and follow the navigation to walk there. 3 Open the route, screenshot and open \"papago\" to confirm the Chinese place name for the second time, and recognize the bus route map to make sure you are not going in the wrong direction. 4 Open \"Kakaomap\", choose a good route, must click on the bell icon, the phone will vibrate two stops before getting off, press the red Stop button on the bus in advance to get off. If you don't press it, the bus won't stop. Blue ticket 1150, red bus is a tourist line 2500~3000, segmented pricing, swipe the card once when you get on the bus, swipe again when you get off. If you take a taxi, the ones with the Vip sign are expensive. If you get the wrong one, just wait for the next one. ©The essence of the sea area is on the east line: Hamdeok Beach—Woljeongri—Seongsan Ilchulbong—Sogilcheon (not beautiful in winter, can be skipped). And the top must-visit spot in Jeju Island is Udo Island. For example, take bus 600 from the passenger station, swipe the card when you get on the bus, arrive at Seongsanpo hang Port, swipe the card again when you get off. Walk for 10 minutes to reach the ticket office.

Jeju Island Free Travel Guide in South Korea

🇰🇷Jeju Island Free Travel Guide in South Korea Before coming to this island, the preparation was too exhausting, even more so than my previous trip to Europe. So here are some suggestions, hoping to help everyone ⏰Travel Time: 5 days and 4 nights 🎒Travel Preparation: Bus card, data SIM card, clothes, toiletries, medicines, disinfectants, adapter plug, charger, power bank, umbrella, 1 million in cash, cardless (be sure to bring sunscreen! Otherwise, you'll turn into a 'black egg' and get sunburned) 🛤️Visited Attractions: Udo Island, Seongsan Ilchulbong, Jeonnong-ro, Yongduam Rock, Baojian Road Pedestrian Street, Rainbow Road, Jeongbang Waterfall, Submarine Tour, Jusangjeolli Cliff, Cheonjiyeon Waterfall, Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market 🥯Food: bhc fried chicken, Matured Hanwoo Beef, zzz Jeju Black Pork, Memory House, Orange Cafe, Udo Island light coffee shop, Starbucks limited edition, Wooku Heaven (Seaside black pork buffet) 🤩Attraction Experience: Udo Island (worth visiting, very beautiful, photogenic), Seongsan Ilchulbong (worth a visit, nice scenery), Jeonnong-ro (not necessary), Yongduam Rock (just a rock, looks like a dragon's head) Baojian Road Pedestrian Street (sparse and empty), Rainbow Road (beautiful, photogenic), Jeongbang Waterfall (small), Submarine Tour (quite novel, diver attracts fish, short duration), Jusangjeolli Cliff (strange and interesting), Cheonjiyeon Waterfall (small), Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market (worth a visit, there's a shop selling orange daifuku that tastes good) 🥩Food Experience: bhc fried chicken (pretty good, but ordered too much, ended up feeling sick), Matured Hanwoo Beef (delicious, but personally prefer 😘), Jeju Black Pork (delicious), Memory House (very fresh, abalones wriggling in the pot, alive. The lady boss and waitress are nice and humorous), Orange Cafe (relaxing in the orange garden, but there are few oranges left), Udo Island light coffee shop (the scenery is amazing, absolutely amazing), Starbucks limited edition, Wooku Heaven (Seaside black pork buffet) (the scenery is amazing, very romantic, meat is normal) This trip was a pure free travel, all by bus and taxi, and you can feel that the attractions are very scattered. So whether to travel freely or join a tour depends on the person, and the island accepts cash payments. From Jeju to Seogwipo, take bus 600, and press stop in advance. For taxis, there is an option to pay cash in the app, some maps are very inaccurate, try to combine and see. ⚠️For two people, 5 days and 4 nights, excluding airfare, hotel, and other preparations. 1 million was just enough to spend, for your reference. The travel experience in Jeju Island is very good, and there's no need to worry about language issues. Upon returning to the country, you still need to do a nucleic acid test, which can be booked in advance or on-site (when arriving domestically, go straight from gate 3 to find the nucleic acid test site)

Reflections on my two trips to Jeju Island, and why I want to go again!

🤔How long should I stay? Looking at photos online, Jeju Island seems to be just some small houses by the sea that can be walked in a day. But in reality, it's quite large, about the size of three Seouls and one Xiamen. If you want to see all the beautiful places, a four-day trip is appropriate. 🗺How should I plan my itinerary? My itinerary was mainly about eating, drinking, and having fun, without visiting tourist spots or shopping, but it was still quite tight. Day1: East Line🎈 - Udo - Seongsan Ilchulbong - Sopjikoji; Day2: West Line🎈 - Jeju Yeoyeom Village Resort - East Line Woljeongri; Day3: Seogwipo🎈 - Tangerine Garden - Camellia - Hyeopjae Beach - Ollae Market; Day4: Jeju Island Old Area🎈 - New Area by the sea. 📸The places that are particularly photogenic in order are: Udo, Yeoyeom, Woljeongri, Seogwipo Hyeopjae. These are all seaside areas, with roads leading to the sea and windows with ocean views😍. 🚶How to avoid unnecessary detours? Arrange to visit places that are close to each other, and try not to miss any. Reading more travel guides can help avoid taking the long way🤗. For example, in Yeoyeom, BOMNAL, teamblow, and other stores are not far from each other, and you can arrange to visit them by chartered car on the same day🚗. Woljeongri's mou moon cafe, bagel miseum, and the small dog cafe are also close by, so you can visit them together🐶. 🙅Aren't all seaside roads and small houses the same? Actually, the color of the sea is different😜! The sea at Woljeongri and Yeoyeom is jelly-colored, while Seogwipo's is deep blue. Udo is not very convenient for watching the sunset, you can choose to watch it at Yeoyeom or Seogwipo's Hyeopjae🌇. 👀That's all for my sharing! Have I attracted you😁? Come to Jeju Island and experience it for yourself! 📷Photo order: 1. Ruddy's Seogwipo Hyeopjae; 2. Yeoyeom; 3. Udo; 4. Seongsan Ilchulbong; 5. Yeoyeom; 6. Seongsan Ilchulbong; 7. Udo; 8. Seogwipo Hyeopjae; 9. Udo; 10. Lazypump next to Yeoyeom; 11. Udo; 12. View of Hallasan's snowy peak from Jeju Island's old town; 13. Slowboat next to Yeoyeom; 14. Small dog cafe next to Woljeongri; 15. Yeoyeom; 16. Teamblow in Yeoyeom; 17. Tangerine Garden and Camellia in Seogwipo; 18. Seogwipo Ollae Market's Beltfish King and Tangerine Rice Cake.

I took the photo of my life on Jeju Island

The jelly sea of Udo Island is too piu bright Make sure to check the weather in advance before you go! It's very likely that you won't be able to get on the island on rainy and windy days Our East Line day tour was not bad💰158 🚗Shiji Kezhi👉Udo Island👉Sunrise Peak👉Sun Moon Beach ✔️Shiji Kezhi Free🆓, there is a black reef sand beach that is very photogenic, very similar to the black sand beach in Iceland! ✔️Udo Island: 1⃣️Take the boat directly: you need a boat ticket💰10000➕Korean won/person, you can take the bus🚌/rent a bicycle🚲/rent a small electric car (more freedom) on the island 2⃣️The tour guide drives the boat: a total of 💰30000 Korean won/person (we chose to drive) ✔️Sunrise Peak The route on the left is free, you need a ticket💰5000 Korean won/person to go up the mountain, if you want to climb the mountain, you can go up and take a look, I personally think it is unnecessary ✔️Sun Moon Beach It is also a beautiful beach, compared to Udo Island, it is more gentle and calm, there are large windmills around, very photogenic! The large floor-to-ceiling window cafe is opened here~ The East Line is really good for taking pictures! I took hundreds of photos in one day

Hamdeok beach in Jeju

#wheretogo we rented a car and drove to ham deok beach for breakfast. there is a cafe delmundo there which oversees the sea. it’s a very calming. can do water sports around the beach, like para sailing etc. Address - 1008 Hamdeok-ri Jocheon-eup, Jeju (제주 특별 자치도 제주시 조천읍 함덕리 1008) Ambiance/Facilities - relaxing and clean. can kayak as well. Avg. Price per Person - depends on the activities you do, 20-30k won! Rating - 4/5

Hamdeok Beach

Hamdeok beach is a northern Jeju Island beach and is truly beautiful. Built up with volcanic rock, the islands layout is unique. Walk out to the bridge which allows you to access the singular picnic bench overlooking the water. The water and its various shades of blue is spectacular, the rocks stick out creating new shapes in the beach area. Activities can be taken on here - such as kayaking, jet ski or paddle board as well as scuba diving. #hamdeokbeach #jejuisland #watersports

Cocotero - Jeju Island

Located opposite Hamdeok Beach, there’s so many choices of Korean BBQ and other food. Mixed in you can find Cocotero, they have a small menu but the pizzas are huge! Definitely a meal you will have to share. Prices here are a little higher than some of the chicken places - 29000won for the large pizza but you won’t need to buy more than one between two. Drinks are standard - beers served cold and small other selection. Ordering is completely tableside - the iPad screen attached to your table is the order. Atmosphere - funky, could almost become a party. #foodie #hamdeokbeach

Peak Adventures: Unwind and Conquer

#cherryblossom2024 The hike was truly remarkable, albeit somewhat taxing. I highly recommend embarking before 10 am to prevent the need for hurried ascent, as we experienced. The summit boasted awe-inspiring vistas, and it's advisable to pack some provisions to savor alongside the scenery. Consider reserving this itinerary for the final day of your journey, as it promises to be quite exhausting and necessitate ample recovery time.

Hallasan in Autumn

Fancy a one-day hiking challenge? Try hiking Hallasan on Jeju Island. The round trip will take around 10 hours if you are a non-hiker, so start early and wear a pair of good shoes that protect your ankle. The path is mostly rocky and steps can be very steep. The views at the summit are breathtaking, but be prepared to queue for a proof-shot for the certificate of completion. Remember to book your slot if you plan to reach the summit!#hallasan #bucketlistreboot

Magical Winter Wonderland at Hallasan Mount

Experience Narnia world at Hallasan Mount. It’s located at Jeju Island, Southern tip of Korean Peninsular. Getting There - If you’re tourist coming to Korea, you need to take flight to Seoul and take a domestic flight to Jeju.

🇰🇷 Egg Drop at Jeju Airport

I came a bit earlier to Jeju airport because I wanted to have Egg Drop for lunch. This is a popular sandwich shop as there are seatings area for the Jeju airport branch. You will use the self service kiosk to order and collect it when the staff page for your number. They are poplar for their scrambled eggs style sandwich. I ordered a set meal and an extra sandwich. Their bacon and turkey versions are also popular if you are a meat lover. Their eggs are fluffy and they added sugar to the toast too. It is great for a quick meal. #wheretogo #southkorea #seoul #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

🇰🇷 Check in Air Busan

There are 2 terminals at Jeju airport, international and domestic. But for tourists, you will have to enter using the foreigner lane. The Jeju airport departure hall is so pretty and there is a large whale with many LED lights. My check in counter for Air Busan is just right here. This whale will also change colours. Jeju airport is very efficient and you can use the self check in counter to check in or proceed to counter for manual check in. My $50 Air Busan one way from Jeju to Seoul includes 15kg check in luggage. It was a deal I got from Trip app. #wheretogo #southkorea #seoul #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

When I went there, I didnt feel very crowded. I will be there soon, and the customs clearance is very smooth. However, when you return to the city, you will faint, because you have to refund the tax, so first queue up to go to the tax rebate, and then go to get the ticket and line up, people are too many, I feel that at least 3 hours in advance may not have time. Feeling surrounded by purchasing, huh, huh. The security check is still ok. After entering, the tax refund is arranged on the opposite side of the 16th door, and the payment is directly paid to the account. The convenience is convenient. Then go to the duty-free shop, in fact, is to bring cosmetics to friends, the mask is very cheap, dead, almost overweight, the next time is not happy to bring. There are not many places to visit, plus dinner is full, so there is nothing to go shopping, while the tax-free extradition field is shocking, blue plastic bags are flying all over, people can buy cosmetics can use sacks Come and install, everyone is fascinated and interesting. There are snacks in the queue, and the airport is still too small. However, the introduction is the third largest airport in Korea, second only to Gimpo and Incheon in Seoul.

Jeju Island's favorite hotel, without a doubt

❣️Visa-free! ✔️Super cheap flights! Cost-effective crushing a host of domestic tourist destinations, Jeju has once again become the choice of many people for short-term travel. ✈️It takes only about 1.5 hours to fly to Jeju Island from various places in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and the ticket price is seven or eight hundred yuan, which is really suitable for weekend or New Year's Day short-term travel. 📌Travel strategy ✔️Because public transportation on Jeju Island is not very convenient, it is a bit difficult for everyone to take the bus by themselves. There is only Korean, and the waiting time is longer. It is recommended to choose chartered cars, taxis or join a day tour. The day tour is the most economical, but it is not so free to arrange your own preferences; taking a taxi requires you to make a detailed strategy to save some money; the cost of a chartered car is the highest, but it is the most comfortable and the best travel experience. ✔️The best arrangement for attractions is to connect in the same direction. If you go to Jeju for the first time, Seongsan Ilchulbong must be arranged. On the same day, it is recommended to play in the east, and you can also arrange Udo, Sogeumgang, and Hamdeok Beach. 🇰🇷Accommodation: Jeju Grand Hyatt Hotel The Grand Hyatt Hotel opened in 2020, located in Jeju City, only 10 minutes drive from the airport, there are many restaurants, convenience stores, large supermarket Emart, Shinsegae Duty Free Shop, and Yeondong Pedestrian Street nearby, within walking distance. 📸The hotel has a unique sea and sky skyline.
