Blog notice

Hi Everyone!

I'm Jinny, the creator of this blog. I've been recommending tour sights for the past year, and thank you all for visiting my blog! I made this blog on my own from scratch, so faced many hardships at the beginning, but learned many lessons through the process.

I tried to recommend tour sights and hotels that not many foreigners/Korean American tourists know. I hope some tour sights that I posted in this blog helped you. I visited most of them and only recommended those that I felt satisfied and had good reviews.

I am writing this notice because I wanted to tell everyone an exciting news! Now on, I am planning to not only recommend tour sights + hotels, but also make a course for backpacking trips. I will try my best to plan a course that shows Jeju thoroughly in a relatively cheap price. This may take a while (probably about 2weeks or so), but please stay tuned!


Again, thank you for supporting my blog. I am truly grateful for it.

Sudgurak Jekkarak

<Special post / Collaboration>












Website: https://www.facebook.com/jejurestraunt



Sudgurak Jekkarak is a face book page that recommends great restaurant/cafe in Jeju Island. My blog usually deals more on tour sights, so I thought this will help for people who need restaurants as well.

Sudgurak Jekkarak is a student run website and the restaurants they recommend are highly reliable - students actually visit the restaurant and when they like the food, they upload their posts on Facebook with their reviews.

The photo on the right side is one of the posts they wrote. The posts are written in both Korean and English.

Yongmeori Coast/Shore is a great place to walk. You can view the beautiful sea shore and the layers of rocks (sandstone bed) that were formed during the past one thousand years. I visited here with my school friends to do a science project and it was truly amazing! You can also spot the haenyeos, the female divers in Jeju Island and the sibling island

The Legend on Yongmeori shore
This place is called Yongmeori (dragon head) because the hill near this shore looks like a dragon's
head going inside the ocean. According to the legend, king Jinshi sent his soldiers to cut off the dragon's tail and its body. This made the dragon scream with pain and fall into the ocean.

One of the best museums in Jeju Island. Although I post places in Jeju Island that I liked, this museum is one of the top museum wise. World Automobile Museum may sound unfamiliar because it seems there is absolutely no relation with Jeju Island, this museum is worthwhile visiting and I loved it.

In World Automobile Museum, you can view various cars outside and inside the museum. First of all, inside the museum, there are cars displayed, raging from the first automobile in Korea to sport cars such as lamborghini.

Outside the museum, there is a park with animals like rabbits and roe dears. Cars are also exhibited here. I personally loved the outer part of the museum because I was able to see rabbits walking around near us (they were not afraid of humans) and digging holes like they do in nature. For this reason, I strongly recommend families with children here.

The World Automobile Jeju Museum also provides free mini car ride for adults and children. You are able to choose the car that you want to ride and drive through miniature buildings (Adults or teens are allowed to drive with children sitting next to them). When I visited here, the path was longer than I thought and it didn't just go around in circles, but went around the museum. Children will love this part!

ZEN Hihhway Cafe was one of the best restaurant view wise. When you go out the balcony, you can view the a small island and the dragon head shore + the beautiful seashore. This cafe is where you can really relax and enjoy your meal! Though, the food was moderate. If you are planning to visit Segwipo, this restaurant is
highly recommended.

Mazeland is great for family trips! When I visited here, the facilities were all clean and new. I went here with my dog and the employees were all kind to her. This was the part that I was very impressed.  Most tour sights in the island don't permit dogs, but this place was different. I herd that the founder of maze land fed stray cats here in Mazeland and loved animals (one reason why I think all the employees were nice my dog). If you have a dog, I enthusiastically recommend here. 

Apart form dogs, the mazes are very well made. It takes at least 1 ~ 2 hours to finish all mazes (there are two in total). If you don't have enough time, I recommend you to walk the stone maze. There is also a museum that has various puzzle games, which is also quite good.

Songaksan Mountain

<Jeju Tour sights /  Tracking>
















Image source: jejuguree.com

Open hours: All year around
Contact info: 064 - 760 - 2912, 064 - 760 - 4022
Adress: 421-1, Songakgwangwang-ro, Daejeong-eup, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do 
Admission Fee: Free
Parking Facilities: Available



Songaksan Mountain is a great place to have a long and refreshing walk. Near the mountain, there is a trail, which I think is part of the Olle trail. This trail leads you around the cliff and to the crater, where you can see the overview of the island. If you can, I recommend you to walk to the end of the trail because the view is amazing. Also, as Songaksan Mountain is close to the ocean, this place is better to visit when it's less windy.
