We went to SunCheon (순천) in the morning. The first station was SunCheon Drama
Film Set (순천 소도읍 드라마 세트장), is advertised as the largest in the
country, consisting of three interconnecting villages each representing a
different era from the 1950s to the 1970s with approximately 200 houses in all.
From a cinema theatre to Jeil Brewery, there’s a fire station and even a
recreated daldongne (residential towns for poor families in uphill areas of
Seoul) and shopping streets from the city’s outskirts.
We explored entire villages without missing any
building! It was a Awesome place!
The next station was SunCheon Bay Eco Park (순천만 자연생태공원). It is widely known for attracting
the largest number of rare birds. Such internationally rare birds as the hooded
crane, white-naped crane, white stork, black-faced spoonbill, and the Eurasian
Oystercatcher, as well as birds designated as natural treasures, are spotted
here. There are about 140 species of birds including the snipe, wild duck,
shelduck, and wild goose. To reach Suncheon, visitors can fly to Yeosu Airport
from Gimpo or Jeju and then take an airport bus to Suncheon.
Enjoying the natural phenomenon, playing with the
small crabs, and experience the strong wind.

Went to Jeju, the first
station was Cheonjiyeon Falls (천지연 폭포). Also known as "God’s pond,"
derives its name from the legend that the seven fairies serving the King of
Heaven came down to the pond on stairs of cloud and bathed in its clean waters.
Apart from the wild Dampalsu trees, designated as natural monument No. 163, the
wooded area also contains a great variety of rare plants such as brambles,
Songyeopnan as well as Gusiljappam trees, Sanyuja trees (Chinese lemon trees),
and camellias which are all specified as natural monument No. 379. Take a walk
along the subtropical path towards the Cheonjiyeon Falls for a kilometer and
you will be able to hear the magnificent sound of waterfalls. The waterfall is
22m high, 12m wide and 20m in depth. The clear and deep water of Cheonjiyeon
Falls is designated as natural monument No. 27 and is renowned as a habitat for
Mutae eels (natural monument No. 258). Also, the annual Seven Fairies Festival
is held every May.
Before that, we were lost
and unable to find the guesthouse that we booked. However, we accidentally
found a huge sport centre.

Hallasan Mt. Climbing (한라산국립공원), rises up proudly from the center of Jeju Island and is perhaps one of the
island’s most memorable landmarks. Also called Mt. Yeongjusan, meaning
‘mountain high enough to pull the galaxy,’ Mt. Hallasan is widely acknowledged
by scholars for its research value. Designated as a National Park in 1970,
there are 368 parasitic mountains called ‘Oreums’ (peaks) around Halla Mountain.
Jusangjeolli Cliffs (주상절리), are stone pillars piled up along the coast and is a
designated cultural monument of Jejudo Island. The Jusangjeolli was formed when
the lava from Mt.Hallasan erupted into the sea of Jungmun. They are rock
pillars shaped like cubes or hexagons of various sizes and almost seem as if
stonemasons had carved them out. The administration of the district named them
'Jisatgae Rocks' from their old name 'Jisatgae'. Its 20 m cliff makes it a
popular spot for high tide, sea angling. The waves of the high tides crashing
into the side of the cliff provide a breathtaking view of the ocean surrounding
the pillars.

SeongSanIlChulBong Mt. Climbing
(성산일출봉), rose from under the sea in a volcanic eruption over
100,000 years ago. Located on the eastern end of Jejudo Island, there is a huge
crater at the top of Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak. The crater is about 600m in
diameter and 90m high. With the 99 sharp rocks surrounding the crater, it looks
like a gigantic crown. While the southeast and north sides are cliffs, the
northwest side is a verdant grassy hill that is connected to the Seongsan
Village. The ridge provides an ideal spot for walks and for horse riding as
well.
The sunrise from the
crater is magnificent. Also the Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak surrounded by bright
yellow colored rapeseed flowers in the spring is truly a sight to behold.
(Forget another place call what name already)

Udo Island (우도해양도립공원), situated on the eastern end of Jeju Island, Udo
Island was named because it resembles a lying cow. It boasts fertile soils,
abundant schools of fish, and scenic sights; local heritage (female divers,
stone walls, and stone tombs) as well as natural attractions abound on the
island, making it a miniature of Jeju Island. The island is also full of
amenities and tourism outlets: fishing, bike trails, sand massaging, tour
submarines and cruises.
We tempted to explore half
of the Udo Island. Due to the time constraint & bad weather, we decided to
leave earlier. One excited thing was that, I learnt how to ride bicycle!

Yongmeori Beach (용머리해안), is a place where Mt. Sanbangsan stretches into the
ocean and it looks as if a dragon’s head is going underwater. This area is made
of Sa-am stacks, built up over millions of years. There are Gulbangs here which
are depressed into the shape of rooms, and wide rocks stacking up on one
another along the seashore cliffs which create a majestic scenery by the sea.
Along the road down to the seashore, there is the Hamel Castaway Memorial, in
remembrance of Hamel who drifted to this place in 1653. Just off to the right
of the beach is a soft and dark sandy beach. You can meet the women sea-divers
of Jeju who sell sea cucumbers and stroll on the road that spreads along the
seashore.
Glass Castle (제주유리의성), is a glass art theme park featuring an exhibition
hall, garden and models all made entirely out of glass. There are six themed
model parks, in which over two hundred and fifty models are exhibited. These
include the world’s very first all-glass labyrinth, the world’s largest glass
ball and largest glass diamond, a glass stonewall, a mirror lake, and a glass
bridge. There are also glass art masterpieces by internationally famous artists
from Italy, the Czech Republic, Japan, and more.
Visitors to ‘Jeju Glass
Castle’ can even experience making glass artwork. In the main hall of the Glass
Castle they can try making glass ornaments, glass balloons, and glass

Yongduam Rock (Dragon Head
Rock) (용두암), was created by
strong winds and waves over thousands of years. However, there are plenty of
other stories of how it came to be. One legend has it that a dragon stealing precious
jade from Mt. Halla was shot down by an arrow from the mountain deity. When he
fell down on Yongduam, his body immediately sank into the ocean and his head
rapidly froze looking at the sky. Another legend has it that a white horse, who
dreamed of being a dragon and ascending to the sky, came to be caught by a
soldier and froze into the rock.
Dongmun Traditional Market
(동문재래시장), was a nice place
to buy Korea souvenir. We tempted to get cheaper price from one of a local
shop. After we had done our time in Jeju, we backed to Gwangju for the next
plan.
