Things to be aware of in Jeju, Korea

#Southeast Asia Strategy

Transportation on Jeju Island, Korea, and two things to be especially careful of from the mistakes I made📝❗⁡


【Transportation🚗🚕🚌】⁡
Rental cars, taxi charter, long-distance and short-distance buses. ⁡

🚗I looked for the most flexible rental car in New Jeju City, where the hotel is, but surprisingly I could only find it near the airport. ⁡

The airport is close to the city, so I took a taxi to the rental car store. ⁡

International driver's license required (it's fairly easy to get, but left-hand drive and right-hand traffic)⁡

The land is spacious, so parking wasn't a problem. The roads are often relatively easy to drive on. (Photo of the road: The streetlights are shaped like the famous citrus🍊)⁡


🚕Taxis are almost never available outside of urban areas. ⁡

According to people who have chartered a bus, they may take you to unexpected places due to goodwill recommendations, so be sure to clearly communicate your wishes. ⁡

It seems that they also provide guides. Some people say that this made the trip even more enjoyable. ⁡

🚌Most buses run every 10-20 minutes, which is more frequent than you might think♪⁡The price is quite cheap. ⁡

For large hotels, the bus stop for long-distance buses may be right in front of the hotel. ⁡

However, when I made my plan, the number of places I could go to due to time and location was greatly reduced, so it depends on what I want to do.


[Things to be careful of]⁡
①Jeju is an island, so when I plan it by looking at a map, it looks small somehow, so I tend to underestimate the time. ⁡

This is something that is often said. ⁡
But it's actually big, and it takes longer to get around than I thought! ⁡

Because we had a short preparation time this time, we did our research and planning in a shorter time than usual using only one guidebook and the internet.⁡

The two free highways that run vertically are fast, but the roads along the coast are great for driving, but they take time😖💦⁡

②And! It happened to me in Busan, Korea too, but the information on opening hours seems vague or changes all the time 😫⁡

I wanted to go to Cheonjeyeon Falls, which has a mysterious and beautiful waterfall basin and a huge bridge with a goddess carved into it ⁡

The book said it was open until 18:30, and the internet said it was open until 18:00 or 19:00, so I spent almost two hours from where I was before and somehow managed to get there at 17:30 ⁡

The reception closed at 17:20 😱😱😱😱😱⁡
But I was in a daze 🐤⁡

I showed the website to the staff, and they said this? I said, "Yes, this is definitely the place!", and he said without any surprise. I later looked it up and it seems that this is the largest of the three major waterfalls in Jeju. I should have taken more time to come here, but I was disappointed that I couldn't go in! I was disappointed, but since it was sunset time, I drove to a nearby place with a view of the ocean. And it was a big hit. The open space that you can enter for free is The Cliff, a bar with a large outdoor seating area in Jungmun, the No. 1 resort area in Jeju. ⁡

The fun of being in a tropical country is to listen to music on the beach, watch the sunset, and feel the night breeze...⁡

Unfortunately, I couldn't relax here for 2 nights and 3 days, but I got a little bit of a feel💕⁡

So, about Jeju's transportation⁡
①The island is big! ⁡
② Call to confirm opening hours or go early😂⁡
And that was the information about a nice lounge bar⁡

If you think it's good, I'd be happy if you could give it a like😊⁡❣⁡
