Which ever area you stay, travelling time to the places of interest will takes at least 45 minutes to 1 hour drive.

tat's y deciding which area to stay haha.. tat's y wanna ask those tat been b4 jeju gif me some guidance.. let say if i stay in Seogwipo, 1st day visit West n 2nd day visit East or either way round better? thn hw bout visitation to Jeju-si area?? haf to drive all d way from East/West (after visitation of the places of interest) to Jeju-si and thn only bek to Seongwipo for overnite stay??

as i kno Jeju-si is near to the airport.. definitely more convenient if return the car bek to the car rental co..

Do you have Jeju map?? If you have, you will have an idea how to move around which ever area you stay. I stay in Seogwipo and drive around to the places of interest. Seogwipo basically is in the middle. It doesn't matter West or East, the duration still the same.

Another question, what do you want to see in Jeju?? West & East. Is difficult for us to guide you if you don't know what to do and what to see.

i refer to Jeju travel website for guideline. have list out a few attractions tat plan to visit. bt nt sure enough time or nt la.. haha

Jeongbang Waterfall / Cheonjiyeon Waterfall/ Cheonjeyeon Waterfalls which one better?
Seongsan Ilchulbong
Yeong-guchunhwa
Ilchul Land
Seopjikoji
Daepo Jusangjeolli
Oedolgae
3D art museum - dunno where it's located
Road's Forest

mayb will add in more as my itinerary haven't fix yet..

I stayed in Jeju-Si
went all this place in 1 days and 1/2days (Own self driving)

- Stayed in Yeha (North)
- Seongsan Ilchulbo (East)
- Mysterious Road (North)
- Osloc tea muzium(West)
- Glass Castle (West)
- Teddy Bear muzium (south)
- Trick art Muzium (East)
- E-Mart Shopping (North)

1 day can go all of tis places?? will nt rush? as u r going north, east, west, south

oh ya.. where is the exact place for trick art museum? i can't manage to locate it..

Art Trick Museum is near to Mini Land.

I don't think you are able to visit all those places in 1 day unless you do touch n go tour.

is jeju as small as perlis ??
or smaller ??

Jeju is bigger than Singapore and Melaka. Perlis is the smallest state in Malaysia.

Jeju - 714 sq mi
Melaka - 642 sq mi
Singapore - 274 sq mi

Day 02
Visit Seopjikoji, Majanggul Caves, Art Trick Museum, Seoryani Rain Forest Path, Jeju Folk Village, Cheongjiyeong Waterfall. Back to Jeju Hiking Inn around 1900hrs.

Day 03

How long is your journey from Seongsan Ilchubong to Yeha?

Around 45 minute (using small road) - most of their small road no car one, but all our luggage edi pre-pack so just bac yeha take luggage direct go airport (kinda rush la)

I use small road also because GPS will takes us longer route. But it was very quiet and creepy especially at nite.

Yeah, they sell chocolate. Bought tons of Jeju tangerine Harubang chocolate for friends and family. They have this buy 4 pack free 1 pack. Bought the fat tangerine at Seongsan Ilchubong. Cost us KRW5000 for 1 fat tangerine.

Seoryani Forest is actually same direction from Mini Land and on the way to Trick Museum. But we missed on the 1st day because we have to catch the Fantastik Show. We need to be at the theatre 30 minutes before the show. So we decided to go Seoryani Rainforest Path on the 2nd day.

I think Free and Easy in South Korea is okey la..i tink free and easy much better

We probably went to the same stall The ahjumma I bought tangerine from can speak mandarin. I can understand but I can't speak Mandarin.

I think you bought the same chocolate like the one we bought from Chocolate Museum. Yeah, their orange chocolate are very nice. But do you notice they have 2 different type of orange chocolate??

I'm planning to go Korea by my own this August. Anybody know roughly how much does it need?
I check about the flight already, it's around RM700. Hotel RM150 per night.. but what about others(food, transport)?
Maybe taking tour package will be cheaper

Cost is depending on how many days you stay, what type of accommodation you take. Shopping money is vary depending what you plan to buy. If you are Muslim, you must prepare to spend a little bit on food. If not, you can bring your own canned food/maggie mee and eat out occasionally. Like us (me and my sisters), we only eat out twice because food is too expensive. 1 set of meal in Murri Restaurant cos us KRW15 thousand per person.

In my opinion, the only thing worth to buy in Korea is cosmetic and K Pop stuff beside souvenir. The rest, too expensive.

Don't go with tour package. THey only bring you to shopping places. Go by yourself is better. You can do what ever you wan, where to go at your pace of time.
