When me and my colleague knew that we have to come for business trip in Jeju, we decided to extend the trip for a couple days traveling around this island. We hired a private transfer and local guide for our 2 days trip for saving a travelling time. The entrance fee and some meals was included in fee plus we didnot have to worry about getting lost (which happened to me a lot) so this trip was real easy and stress free for us.
Let's me introduce you on this destination, Jeju is South Korea's largest island. This has been a famous domestic vacation and honeymoon destination. This Island also known as "Island of God".

Our car picked up us early in the morning for our first destination which was 25 miles away from our hotel in Jeju city. We were not sure about hiking on this trip but we could not miss one of 7 wonders of nature which is also a Unesco site.
We have been told that on average people will take only 20 minutes for hiking up to the peak and we all would like to take a challenge. However, once we arrived and saw how steep of the Sunrise peak' slopes, we were a bit worried. Surprisingly, the hiking route was super easy and there were many resting point along the way. On the top of the peak was spectecular of crater and sea beyond it. |

Time for green tea dessert! We stopped at the O'Sulloc Exhibition center for the famous green tea cake and float. The exhibition divided into different sectors both indoor and outdoor. First part of exhibition was a green tea plantation which located on the opposite of the O'sulloc building. In this part, there were some nice photo backdrop at the entrance for us to take a group pictures. The second sector was a large museum hall inside the Exhibition center which was telling about a history of the Korean tea. Next to the museum hall was a shop and cafe which was crowded with tourist by the time we got there.
With that being said, green tea roll cakes here was amazing. Cake and float was not so sweet and flavor was so rich. |

Unique and Colourful Temple located directly at the coast of Mt. Hallasan.There were a lot of stairs that lead you to different a small temples and cave which located on the top of the hills.The stairs was so steep and it was not super easy to claim up (471 steps) but it was worth it. The view on the top was such a breath taking. Sitting and watching huge golden Buddha gave me a peaceful moment. We had a choice either donate rice for wealthy or candle for successful for these statue. After spending 40 minutes there I found myself a good spot at one of the coffee shop in front of the temple for watching beach and mountain view. |

We visited this place on the last day of our trip, and we could not leave Jeju without visiting beach. Woljeogri is one of top five beach on Jeju. The beach is known for its scenery, white sand and beautiful emerald ocean. Near the beach, there are beautiful cafes align the streets.
The beach was really nice and quieted. There was nothing better than a cup of coffee from minimart and the beach view for me. I was sitting down for a while before heading back to the craziness in Bangkok on the next day.
I would say I left Jeju with a good memories, this island had the activities for everyone.
