ILO Beach

Ilo Beach is the most accessible nearest beach to Jeju city.
It is a popular place for family. We saw many families and group had picnic, making BBQ on the pavement.
There are 2 big horse statues, one is red and the other is white.
There was a concert when we were there.

Kim Kyung Sook Sunflower Farm

One of the disappointing point we visited is this farm.
It is much smaller than we expected from the picture.
Miss M said the tree is much smaller than the one in Japan.
The entrance ticket is KRW 3,000.

Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak 성산일출봉 城山日出岬

This unique peak, UNESCO World Heritage Site, might be the most popular site in Jeju Island.
It takes about 1 hour hiking, round trip to the top, the ridge of the crater.

Udo Island 우도(해양도립공원) 牛島

Udo Island is a small island, east of Jeju Island.
It takes about 15 minutes ferry ride, the ferry terminal is very close to Seongsan Ilchulong Peak, about 5 minutes by car.
To buy the ticket, we have to write on the order paper and show our ID (Passport).
There are two ferry terminals in Udo Island, so beware of the last ferry and the departure location.

As soon as the ferry arrives, there are a couple options to get around the island:
- Rent a motor scooter (required International Driving License with the Motor Bike tick, somehow they are very strict checking this, the rent is KRW 30,000 for 2 hours and you can negotiate with several renters there outside the ferry terminal)
- Rent a bicycle
- Using circular bus, departs every 15-20 minutes, KRW 15,000). English and limited and most drivers cannot speak English.
- Rent a car, I saw a bunch of electric car, but didn't see the car rental office in ferry terminal

Udo Island is my favorite, for its beautiful white sandy beaches, and nice cafes.
Since our driving license had no tick on the motor bike, we couldn't rent the bike, and took the circular bus. We stopped in the first stop of the circular bus, a nice white sandy beach. There are some shops and snorkeling shop and toilet and paid shower.
There are about 10 stops in the circular bus. A driver recommended us to must stop spots, since our time was limited.
After the first white sand beach, we stopped (by mistake) to the second ferry terminal, then took the next bus to the cliff. There are some shops and cafes there.
Down the cliff, we could watched the famous diving ladies working collecting sea urchin (beware slippery, Miss M actually slipped here).
After the cliff, we stopped by at a small cape with a nice small tower made from shell.
