Jeju Island – Korea Day 5
The last and final day of touring around Korea, we explored the Eastern part of Jeju Island!
We woke up around 9am where our driver pick us up to our first location, Manjanggul Lava Tube! It’s a cave formed by the flow of lava..
The insides of the cave is filled with chilly-cold air… Should have brought a jacket.. the cave is 7.4km long and is one of the largest lava tubes in the world with a height of up to 23m!
^ A very blurry pic of the cave cause it was super dark..
After the lava tube, we went to Seongsan Ilchulbong, also known as Sunrise Peak! 
It’s a 20-min climb to the peak but due to time-constraint, we only took pictures outside which has a very nice view as well.
This is a place where they have famous female divers as well.
And of course, we camwhored a bit there..
And we skipped off happily
Our next stop, is lunch!! Black Pig BBQ!!
Oohh.. such a tasty dish.. We bbq the pork and wrap it in a leaf together with kimchi, taugeh, onion, etc.
And why do we call it black pig? Cause the pig is really black!
It’s like Indian PIg.. haha
We went opposite our lunch place to visit the Seongeup Folklore Village. It is an authentic traditional Jeju village.
There is a English-speaking tour guide who explains most of the things to us.. But basically, what they are trying to do is to sell us some health drink traditionally made in the village.
And again, more camwhore..
Our next stop is Seopjikoji, the place where they filmed the Korean drama, ‘All In’. But just about driving into the pathway towards Seopjikoji, we took a pit stop to a peculiar scene by the shore.
It’s filled with seaweed!!
And being the ‘boys’ that we are, we tried to eat some of them…
It’s really quite peculiar seeing so much seaweed at the shore at one place… Walking on it gives a tingly feeling.
Eventually, we reached Seopjokoki, the supposed highlight of the day. Upon reaching, our driver took us to the rocky terrain to take pictures, a place where tourists normally wouldn’t go. So, we had to climb our way through the rocks to take pictures.
Of course, all is worth it.. There is no crowd, and it’s very windy with beautiful scenes.
And finally, we reached the famous ‘church scene’ in the All In show.
And once again, more camwhore.
The place has a very nice scenic view.
With horses,
Statue of Mother Mary,
Trail to the lighthouse,
The lighthouse itself,
The scene from the lighthouse.
And the famous rock…
Oh, one thing I must comment. A lot of couples in Korea has matching outfits! A lot of couple-tee and some, like this, have matching dresses and pants!
And since it’s the place of the All In drama, we tried to act out some of the scenes from the show!
Yee Weng and I tried to integrate the scene from IP Man 2 into it….
And that’s the last of it.. Right after Seopjokoji, we headed straight to the Jeju Airport to fly back to Seoul. We had some light dinner at the airport and the fried chicken again back at Yvonne’s place. Our flight was early next morning heading back to Singapore.
And that’s all for the Korea trip. I’d say it’s a short and sweet trip. Didn’t know that I’d like Korea and its food. I think the Korean food in Singapore is really bad as compared to those found in Korea.
Anyway, will look forward to the next holiday trip!
Till then…
