Korea Day 3: Jeju

After breakfast, we went to check out mysterious road (Dokkaebi Road), it is located right opposite Love land. After 10 mins of walking up and down and placing a bottle on the road (failed), we finally saw that the rain water on the road was slowly streaming up hill! It is actually quite tough to notice as compared to feeling it while sitting in the car and putting it into neutral gear.

I read that walking through the woods helps to enhance cardiovascular functions and to prevent asthma and other respiratory issues. It is known to be Jeju's most famous forest and the spring is said to relieve gastro problems and muscle aches.

 

 

 

 

We love this place a lot and surprisingly the entrance fee is really cheap. The air is super clean and fresh especially after the rain and the place is very pretty and well-maintained. Plus the wooden sculptures are very well-craved and interesting. Felt very relaxed after walking through the forest for an hour :) I promise you wouldn't regret coming here! Great place for an outdoor date haha..

We walked around and had our lunch at one of their "restaurants". Upon reaching the restaurant, we noticed that the menu shows different western meals but when we wanted to order, the ahjumma said that they only sell mandu (dumplings) and instant noodles!! Geez! We were starving, so didn't want to head somewhere else to eat thus we ordered 1 portion of mandu and an instant noodle for each of us. Total Cost: 13500won.

If you do not have much time (less than 4D 3N) on Jeju-do, I would advise to give this place a miss.

Dropped by Seongsan Ilchubong (Seongsan sunrise peak) before dinner. Actually, we wanted to hike up to see the sunrise in the morning but it was raining since we arrived yesterday, thus we just walk around the area. Very dissappointed, I will definitely be back for the hike, heard that it's an awesome experience.

 

But the night view around the peak was also very pretty and romantic :)

 

Opening Hours: 1 hour before sunrise - 8PM

Admission: 2000won

Managed to rush to Dongmun traditional market to purchase some souvenirs before it closes. We bought some jeju orange sweet, jelly and chocolate as souvenirs. While I bought a medium size dol hareubang couple figurine for myself, which cost only 2000won (S$2.40)! I love it! It's so cute :)

 

Had late dinner at Manse Noodles Samseonghyeol located in noodle street (guksu geori). Was too hungry and tired to take any photo. But the noodle prices starts from 6000won.
