i am staying 4 days 3 nights at jeju, i wonder what they have at night? reason for staying so many days coz wanna get cheap flight.

Day 1 - reach evening, myeondong at nite
Day 2 - visit around seoul, see palace, uwa university, nseoul tower ,etc
Day 3 - go to lotte theme park whole day
Day 4 - nami and french village in the morning.
Day 5 - Mount Seorak
Day 6-9 - Jeju isLand .

Few Questions :-
1. Hows the itinerary above?
2. What to do at Seoul, Jeju at night?
3. At jeju, ive heard of udo island, is it possible to go there in this arrangement ?

manjanggul cave
Gimnyeong maze park
Udo Island
Seongsan ilchulbong sunrise peak

I went to udo island when i went to jeju. since the key places you intend to visit are not that many, i think you will have ample time for each attraction.

i'm not sure what time you will arrive in jeju. if you arrive in the evening, you can consider making your way to seongsan ilchulbong when u arrive in jeju. that's what i did. i stayed just a short walk away from seongsan ilchulbong and the next morning i woke up relatively early to catch the sunrise.

after breakfast, i made my way to udo island and spent half the day there.

would suggest your itinerary to be as follows:

day 1 - dinner in jeju town. go to the fish market and eat fresh sashimi. make your way to seongsan. stay in seongsan.
day 2 - sunrise in seongsan, after breakfast go to udo (the jetty is just 5 mins drive from seongsan), after udo (say 3pm), make your way back to seongsan and go to seopjikoji. hang around seongsan area. have the famous seafood noodle.
day 3 - make your way to jeju town passing through manjanggul cave and maze park, you can even stop by dragon head. if you are early, go to sunset point. check out if there are any night markets around (different days different locations). and stay in the city. you can consider having bbq for dinner (jeju is famous for black pork)
day 4 - depending on your flight time, you can go to mysterious road before u go to the airport.
btw, you plan to do day trip to mount seorak? from seoul?

it is possible to do seorak 1 day, but i think you'll be going through the same route twice because nami is between seoul and seorak. so your itinerary will look something like this:

day 1 - seoul - nami - seoul
day 2 - seoul - (pass by nami) - seorak - seoul

when i went to seoraksan, i went to nami island, and petite france, (supposed to stay in sokcho but missed the last bus to sokcho at 8pm so i stayed in chuncheon) and made my way to sokcho early next morning (first bus 6.30am, second bus 8am). then went to seoraksan. if you follow this plan, your itinerary will look something like this:

day 1 - seoul - nami - sokcho
day 2 - sokcho (seoraksan) - seoul

it's possible to do day trip to mt sorak but it's quite rush and very tiring unless you no plan to slowly stroll.. reach there, take some pic and take cable car up and view some places.. it's better to stay a night there or at sokcho. else you need to be very on time if not you will miss the bus.. which season you go?

Hi guys, am still reading the posts , need abit of time. Meantime, please comment on my itinerary. Going on October 14 (Friday). So far, only booked Jeju flight ticket. Apologies for obvious need for spoon feed.

Day 1. (friday)

Reach Incheon airport at 4pm. Not sure bus or train to city. Plan to stay at dongdaemun coz friday night is happening. Not sure where to stay. Recommend me pls. (2pax, budget around RM150 a night)

Day 2 (saturday)

Taking shuttle bus to Everland (i know the crowd will be crazy on weekend) from Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station. Will miss the fireworks coz need to catch the bus back. Bus departs at 6pm. Will i be able to go N'Seoul Tower, or shall i just go to Dongdaemun Deisgn Plaza. Shall i continue staying at Dongdemun or move to other place to stay like Myeongdung (bring all my stuff to everland)


Day 3 (sunday)

Going to Nami Island . Dont know what to do at night

Day 4 (monday)

Planning to take Seoul City Tour from Gwanghwamun. Plan to go the stream/river (walk or use this bus?) . How about .Noryangjin Fish Market , is it nearby?
The route is as follows. Pls comment on the route. I really dont know where to just skip (hotels i know). Dont know what to do at night. Is nanta show worth it?

Attached Image

Day 5 (tuesday )

Ehwa Woman Universtity, Yonsei University and then Hongdae? Ive no idea what to do on this day

Day 6 (wed)

Go to JEju. Reach around 5pm. Should i rent car this day or wait nx day to rent for whole day(more worth it). We only have 2 person, perhaps tour bus more worth it? Places to go include ShinjejuBaozen Street and Cityhall. Food to try : Black pork, okdumgui (tile fish), porridge, raw seafood, tangerines.

Day 7 (thurs)

visits to Yongduam Rock,Udo Island,Seongsanilchulbong sunrise peak,seopjikoji

day 8 (friday)

Day 9

Back to Incheon (reach 12.30om). Flight to KL at 4.30pm

Hi yvonne, u didnt comment on my jeju itinerary. back to the city tour, it is preferable to walk and take subway rather than take the bus? Do we really need wifi there ie to use translation or what not
