    Because I only stayed in Jeju Island for more than six hours, I can't talk about it, but I went to three places and gave me a good impression. We came from the port. We didn't know Korean and didn't have a taxi software, but we still packaged a car (must go forward and walk more so cheaper) The driver is very enthusiastic but will not speak Korean 🤭 The weather was not very good when we arrived, but it was not hot. The street was very clean and there were flowers and smells everywhere. Every attraction we went to was not big. I think the ticket was 10 yuan. It was a bit expensive. 🙄 (they have discounts) because of time. After going to the Occasion Market, the seafood is fresh, and the orange series is very atmospheric.😃 I bought a bottle of pure-pressed juice and special rice cakes and returned to the boat.🚢

    The view during the journey was stunning. Clear skies, ocean waves and vibrant greens. An absolute masterpiece of nature. As a downside for 30 minutes this costs a pretty penny so, although I really liked the experience, if you are traveling on a budget I'd skip this attraction completely. Walk the trail below the rails as an alternative, same views but for free. Now, if you don't mind spending that money, it's a 100% worth it.

    This is a free event I saw on a Seoul website for N Seoul Tower. The event includes posting a listing in the back garden side hustle. The event is quite interesting and attractive. N Seoul Tower has beautiful views and you can even lock the "Love Tower." The autumn scenery is picturesque.

    Everland, a must-visit theme park near Seoul, combines thrilling rides, animal adventures, and a seasonal garden, suitable for all ages! **1. Thrilling Rides:** The "T-Express" wooden roller coaster is a highlight, offering an adrenaline-pumping experience with speeds up to 104 km/h and a 77-degree incline – a must-try for challenge enthusiasts! **Close Encounters with Animals:** Ride an amphibious vehicle in the "Wildlife World" to observe lions, bears, and giraffes up close, as if you're on the African savanna. You can also visit the panda enclosure and meet the adorable panda family, including "Fu Bao." **Seasonal Gardens and Themed Festivals:** The "Seasonal Gardens" change with the seasons, creating different themed flower fields. At night, there are romantic scenes like a illuminated rose garden. Summer water parties and Halloween zombie parades add to the festive atmosphere. **Family-Friendly:** The children's area features gentle rides and animal exhibits with penguins, meerkats, and more, ensuring kids can play all day long! Whether you're looking for thrills, love animals, or want to take beautiful photos, Everland has something for everyone!

    you can climb up on foot in about 1.5 - 2 hours, from the side of Myeongdong there is a nice village, which is worth a walk. If you have a hard time climbing, it is better to use the funicular. Also, there are almost no kiosks selling water along the way

    The performance was great, and the café inside was fantastic. It's highly interactive, perfect for kids and adults alike, as well as Instagrammers for taking photos or solo travelers. Tickets are cheaper if purchased online.

    Be sure to check the weather before you go, otherwise you will get a pair of muddy shoes. There are relatively few staff in the outdoor area, and it is difficult to find the exit. It happens to be cloudy and rainy, and the ground is full of mud and water, and there are many mosquitoes and insects.
