The next
day we head over to Jejudo (Jeju Island) and stayed at YEHA Guesthouse. They
provide online reservation for Guesthouse and Day Tours. If you guys are
interested, I will be including their website and directions below. All their
staff speaks English so do not worry about any language barrier. YEHA Guesthouse is located 5 to 10 minutes from Jeju Airport.

At YEHA Guesthouse! A affordable and clean guesthouse perfect for backpackers! I highly recommend staying there if you are visiting Jeju Island.
Loads of
pictures of previous guests and lovely messages written by them.

I also took a photo of cab fares to different destinations, hoping to benefit those who are traveling around Jeju Island through taxi.
At Jejudo,
I went to Trick Art Museum where there are 3D art pieces showing optical
illusion art. Exhibitions consist of seven themed sections: Parody Zone
(showing famous paintings and sculptures), Animal Zone, Jurassic Zone, Aquarium
Zone, Egypt Zone, Magic Zone, and Illusion Zone. All the pictures look like they are popping out of the walls but they are actually... 2 dimensional. *Facepalming at my explanation.
The website states that each work looks differently when
seen from different angles or spots. Its magic magnifies when seen from camera
lenses. There is also a make believe zoo outside the Museum.

At Seongeup Folk Village, I was able to see how traditional
Jeju villagers live as well as trying out some of their delicacies such as the
barbeque pork of Black Pig and also Omija Tea, which is extremely famous in
Jejudo. The pork and Omija Tea are extremely mouth watering and delicious, definitely a must try when visiting Jejudo.

beautiful flower field.

Next
destination was Hallasan National Park. Hallasan is located in the middle of
Jeju Island and commonly considered to be one of the three main
mountains of South Korea
Extremely chilly and the uncooperative wind was blowing us off tracks.
Took random pictures from our car, photo below is their traditional way of drying squids.

Villagers stack stones on top of other stones which is believed to give good luck. And yes I tried it too!

Afterwards we went to Gimnyeong Maze Park. Remember to take
a map of the maze park before entering the maze as it will greatly benefit in
case if you happened to get lost.
These cabbage-looking bouquets of flowers are all over Jejudo!

We went to Hallim Park which is almost 100 thousand square
meters, has a variety of gardens that can be enjoyed in any season. Hallim Park
consists of Palm Tree Road, Jeju Stone and Bonsai Garden, Water Garden,
Subtropical Botanic Garden and much more.
The most famous tourist sites in Hallim Park are Hyeopjaegul and Ssangyonggul Caves known to be the only two-dimensional caves in the world (I have no idea what this means but the caves are beautiful). I tried taking pictures but it was too dark for anything to show up.

Jejudo is most famous for their tangerines!
There are also various birds and reptiles

Tulips!

We also went to some Aquarium (which I have absolutely no recollection of what it was called) where there are dolphins and other sea creatures. The wind was mind blowing, I literally have to run into the building and then run into the car because the wind was so strong! Therefore I didn't have the chance to take a picture of the building.
Our Shabu-Shabu lunch!
There was also some 3D art at the Aquarium.
That is all for this part, the next part will be the last part and I think will be a short one so please look out for that. Thank you so much for reading! Please do not hesitate to email me or ask me in the comments section and I will be sure to reply as soon as possible.
