Lotsa kdramas always shoot in Jeju...The latest & almost 80% at jeju - Paradise ranch.

The terrain is full of ancient died volcnoes & lotsa volcanic rims & also high cliff like those in Uluwatu (Bali) or Southern Australia -Melbourne)...nice view lor..

The domestic flight from Seoul to Jeju takes abt 1 hour...
Stay at least 3D2N or 4D3N, there are lots of beautiful places to explore in Jeju...
As for accommodation, I would recommend YEHA Guesthouse, it's a very cozy guesthouse which provide free breakfast (need to cook by urself though), free WiFi, free international call to homeline, free PC to use at lobby, free laundry (but need to pay for drying machine), free beer/drinks for every guest (1 bottle per guest) during happy hour (7pm-9.30pm), and the staff there are really helpful too...

Just come back from the Auraji railbike today!! It was awesome! Best ever experience!! Plus there are some cherry blossoms around.. Yeoryang town is very beautiful with the white cherry blossoms! Glad i went during spring!!

On a side note: the road from Gangneung - Yeoryang - Jeongseon is full of corners.. Those who have weak stomach is advisable to eat the travel sickness pill before proceeding the journey..

The auraji rail bike is so special thus i include in my trip for my 1st stop.hehee..Is still cold when the time u when? By the way thank you your advice,i think i might taking pills for this jouney..^^.

It's still about 13 Celcius here.. For a malaysian female who have never being exposed to cold, it's quite cold.. I wore 2 layers of clothes & 1 sweater.. The wind when railbiking is cold but very refreshing.. The day is quite bearable compared to the nights, really freezing at night in Jeju & Busan.. Brrr.. However, Gyeongju was worse.. We nearly died because of the cold wind.. Even the locals are not used to the cold in Gyeongju..

I saw you're going for the sea train too.. I like that ride though even we only went from Gangneung to Jeongdojin. (it's all because we're rushing to mt sorak on the same day)..

Added on April 26, 2011, 6:33 pmJust came back from Nami Island today.. Thanks for the guide thru subway, it was very informative.. However, the 1 hour plus ride was quite tiring coz we didn't manage to get a seat on the way back.. ㅠㅠ

Shanshan87 - In the subway today, i saw an advert of Samcheok ocean railbike. Looks pretty similar to Auraji railbike, except that this railbike is along the beach.. Do check it out since u will be in that area..

13C is OK wth normal jacket when you went up Genting..On certian nite, temp can also reach 14C in Genting & CH.

nice pics... cannot wait to go there in September!!

anyone went in a group of four? any good & budget hotel to recommend? want to pack four in a room. my favourite hostel has increased its price tremendously... so gotta look elsewhere

i think 13C is just nice this weather as u dowan it to be too hot like MSIA rite.

Although 13 degree is normal, if got wind then is another story...=< .. i can tahan 16 degree like aircorn de la..haha.

Ya, it is very cold when the wind is strong. I still can tahan temp like 10C for a person that scare cold, but when wind blow then is another diff story, lol

yeah when wind blow and your jacket not thick enough bone also will pain.

lol very true,that time i went was -10C plus the wind blow the whole street of dongdaemun ppl all round inside the building to seek shelter

I have just come back from Korea today.. a mixed feeling..
Anyhow, for your info, the cherry blossoms is in full bloom in Namsan Park.. Went there yesterday, & the view is awesome! I advise to travel to Namsan Tower (N Seoul Tower) via bus instead of cable car in order to enjoy this beautiful view. Take bus no 02 or 05 from Chungmuro station (accessible by line 3 or line 4)..

I was able to see cherry blossoms around Yeouido Hangang Park, Yeoryang, Nami Island and Namsan Park.. Love it so much..

In addition, while we was at Mt Sorak, small white particles came down with the raindrop.. Yeah, it's snow.. Many people was surprised even the Koreans there.. But the snow quickly melt down, couldn't capture it with camera.. There were lots of Malaysians and Thais there - with gleeful expressions on our face (some of us do not have any experience with snow in view of our country's nature).. I was really blessed in this trip..

what is wrong with the world.

you can get snow in spring?! oh mai. next thing you know summer also got snow D:

lol zstan,the end is near,repent. eh rsralf post some pics up man,make us feel jealous abit,i can imagine how nice is it in nami island when the whole line of trees all with colourful leaves.

wad i found mostly from internet they suggest Autumn is the best season to visit Korea..is it true? in terms of scenery!

Yesss... not so cold and filled with colorful leaves and blue skies...

I think it is normal for snow or even hailstorm during early spring. Been through a few hailstorm the size of golf balls. Thank god car window didn't break.

Anyways, I will be going to Korea tommorow. Hope the weather maintains cool, I really hate the hot and humid weather in KL nowadays. How can live with no aircond?
