Wanderluster Senior Member 2,169 posts Joined: Jan 2009 From: PJ \| Seoul	QUOTE(momijigari @ Nov 7 2012, 09:43 AM) Click HERE to read more about Alive Museum. I was told that this place has more things to see. We were there for 2 hours plus, if it wasn't for my splitting headache we would have stayed longer. Go in daytime if you're interested, we missed the outdoor scuplture park because it was all dark. It's not far from to the Teddy Bear Museum in Jeju, plan your schedule wisely (and be less ambitious ) because we didn't cover alot of attraction as we'd hoped. My personal suggestion is to visit those natural sceneries first then a couple of museum. how many days u in jeju?? i heard there is 2 trick eye museum in jeju. so it's alive museum is the same as the trick eye museum (greek mythology) or it's 2 different one? is both their location actually is in the same area? kinda confuse.. search on9 bt nt much info about that. jz found out that both oso near teddy bear museum any1 can clarify? thx

Alive Museum is very near to Teddy Bear Museum (near Jungmun area), Trick Art Museum is not the same as Alive Museum but they share similarity (and is situated in Southeast Jeju). Please google the map. I think probably takes 45 minutes~1 hour from one to another (estimation). There's not much information on the internet probably because it's still new. You can get the pamphlet in Jeju Airport (I got mine there). When are you going? i search on9 n gt their website.. although both website url is different bt both point to the same site?? tat's y i wonder it's the same http://www.trickart.co.kr/main.php http://www.alivemuseum.co.kr i will be goin on apr 2013 (spring season) This post has been edited by yvonnesoo: Nov 7 2012, 11:52 AM

Alive Museum 2629 Saekdal-dong, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do, Korea Trick Art Museum 2381 Seongeup-ri, Pyoseon-myeon, Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do, South Korea Teddy Bear Museum 2889 Saekdal-dong Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do, South Korea Now key those addresses to Google map to roughly get the idea of where they are located. They are not the same or next to each other. thanks alot.. all museum is located quite near since it's in Seogwipo region. oh btw, do u know bout the Greek Mythology Museum?? it's located nearby?

I don't know where is the Greek Mythology Museum. You have plenty of time to do planning, don't worry, just work out what you want to do/see the most. oh ok.. thx.. btw, u r driving or hired a taxi during tat time?

Wanderluster Senior Member 2,169 posts Joined: Jan 2009 From: PJ \| Seoul	QUOTE(momijigari @ Nov 7 2012, 04:00 PM) To answer your question, they have GPS navigation in English. It's relatively easy to use and we didn't get lost, not even once . Drive slow, drive safe, drive leisurely and enjoy the magnificent scenery Jeju has got to offer. I don't know what is their formula, we picked up the car at 1:40pm and returned it at 6:30pm (flight at 8:50pm). This is rather long so I will use spoiler instead. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Our flight arrived in Jeju at 1pm, sorted out with car rental and started our journey at 2pm to get to our accomodation (Tae Gong Gak - which is highly recommended for its cleanliness, hospitality and every other things, like too good to be true, seriously). Drove through 5.16 Road's Forest Tunnel, marvelled at its beauty (too difficult to snap any pictures, though), and arrived in TGG at 3plus. Checked in, sorted out our luggage and spoke to the person in charge Sylvia which is overloaded with friendliness. She recommended us Jungsik Meal, it was delicious. Then we drove all the way to Alive Museum, arrived at 6ish and had to leave at 9pm because of my headache was acting up (strong wind and rained the whole day!). The next day, we headed out to Seopjikoji via Shore Road (Sylvia told us we could try and we didn't regret eventhough it was just a short stretch), after we have done sightseeing in Seopjikoji, we dropped by at the nearby Sinyang Beach for a couple of photos. Then continue to the nearby Seongsan Ilchulbong or Sunrise Peak, climbed all the way up with heaps of Pocari Sweat. Amazing view all the way up with few "rests" in between. Heading down hill is much more easier and we covered this at 2plus. Our lunch was take-away burgers and fries and continue our journey to Sangumburi Crater, we passed by Bijarim Forest (I believe) on our way there. It was what I have expected and wished it to be, so glad we've included this place. Euralia flowers covering the whole place- a silvery autumn!! After this we have decided to make our way to Teddy Bear Museum..... when we got there, we decided not to get it because left an hour only. Disappointed. Had dinner at Kraze Burgers (Yes, I love burgers). Went to Cheonjiyeon Waterfall before calling it a day. Last day at Jeju- reached Sanbangsan at 9am, it's huge but we didn't go in, proceed to Yongmeori Coast furtherdown (5 minutes drive). Sun was blazing, windy, chilling, we are done at this place at 11am. Spent a fortune at O'sulloc Museum and our last attraction is Glass Museum (this is one of the 2 attractions that I feel doesn't worth the time and money). u only mention glass museum nt worth to go.. so is there any places beside tis? wow itinerary oso quite tight.. jz like mine i think.. ahha btw, from gimpo airport (where u took ur rented car) to the TGG it's far? can we pull over to snap any pic at the road's forest tunnel?

Wanderluster Senior Member 2,169 posts Joined: Jan 2009 From: PJ \| Seoul	QUOTE(momijigari @ Nov 7 2012, 05:01 PM) There are plenty of museums as attractions in Jeju really, we drove past many!! I am not very into these kinds of museums because it's not anything showcasing the past or anything. If we have more time we would try other oreums (sp?!) and olle trails. You take the plane from Gimpo Airport, Seoul to Jeju International Airport then from there go to the car rental company in the arrival hall, they will ask to look at your passport and international license, then you will get instruction from them. The pick-up place is just a stone throw away from the airport. No idea whether you can pull over to snap pictures since it was raining and if I remember correctly it was a one-lane road. How many days will you be in Jeju? Where you want to visit? Is it too cramp for too many attractions? the guesthouse TGG is far away from the Gimpo airport?? will be in Jeju for 3D2N as well.. i plan to visit some attractions n the 3D museum (nt sure yet wanna choose the one in hongdae or jeju) jeju is consider quite big n i'm afraid if travel from one place to another definitely take some times.. cz there r few selected attractions tat i choose is jumping from tis place to another.. lolz.. jz like hopping round d island

From Jeju International Airport to TGG guesthouse is around 1 hour give or take. We had 1 day in Seoul before flying into Jeju, and 6 more days in Seoul after Jeju. Didn't manage much in that 6 days, we slept in/took our time. lolz.. sorry typo error.. is jeju airport wah 1 hr away? tat is nt near..

Wanderluster Senior Member 2,169 posts Joined: Jan 2009 From: PJ \| Seoul	QUOTE(Listiani @ Nov 7 2012, 11:15 PM) Yes dear not near. Jeju as big as Singapore. From West Jeju to East Jeju takes about 1 hour drive more or less. So u must pla your visit properly. Otherwise you will be spending your time in the car zigzagging west to east Jeju. QUOTE(momijigari @ Nov 8 2012, 10:25 AM) Yes. So when we have 3D2N, it only translated to 2 full days. What we did was 1 day southeast, another day southwest. Would have planned differently if given a chance but still somewhat satisfied with our trip. spend 1 day each on West to East enough to cover or nt? (will select few attractions).. hw bout another side of the island? eg.. if i stay in seogwipo n wanna visit jeju (near airport) haf to turn a big round over to another side? i saw frm the map it gt route to go to d North (Jeju) frm Seogwipo bt is around Hallasan area.. nt sure the road will be easy or nt
