Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak – Standing on the crater watching the sunrise

I am a person who likes to get up early. For me, waking up early when all my friends are sleeping, making a hot cup of tea and watching the sunrise go through each leaf is the best thing in the world. However, it is lonely in Jeju to watch the sunrise alone, because of surrounded by couples hugging all around. So, take note of the name Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak and invite your friends to come here in the early morning to watch the sweet sunrise but brilliant on this beautiful island.

Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak also known as Sunrise Peak, it is a crater that has been inactive for a long time and has the shape of a wok with lush green plants that are very typical. There are rocky cliffs right next to the sea that stimulates many adventurers to come to check-in.

Local people say Seongsan Ilchulbong is the peak of the sunrise, because this is the first sunrise place on Jeju Island. I highly recommend that you should spend an early morning waking up to conquer this mountain, which is worth a visit. Although you have to walk on a gentle slope of about 200 meters to reach the top, but once reach the top then nothing is more wonderful, a very reward worthy.

The entire view of Jeju will open before your eyes, beautiful beyond description, breathtaking, spectacular scenery. In the blazing sun, you will be watching the blue sea, white sand, fields of yellow mustard and maple forest turn yellow, red, characteristic of autumn. Moreover, the extremely clean atmosphere at the top of the mountain will help you increase your “mood” very much, very relaxing.

Cheon A Valley – The game of colors

If you’ve ever seen the beautiful Korean fall movies with thousands of yellow leaves, red leaves, chirping birds and winding art roads, that definitely is Cheon A valley!

It is possible that there are many other beautiful places as well, but Cheon A Valley is the place I accidentally “lost” to and must give 10 points! Because this place is extremely beautiful and I don’t know why it’s so deserted tourists?!? Coming here is not only have beautiful scenery but you can also calmly think about life.

Coming to Cheon A Valley, If you have a bicycle to strolling on the winding roads and take photos with the view of falling yellow leaves, oh my heart, very relaxing!

Hallasan Mountain – Typical maple leaves of Jeju autumn

No matter how many virtual live photos you post without the maple leaves on Hallasan Mountain, it’s as if you’ve never been to Jeju.

Hallasan is another volcano in Jeju but this crater is considered so hot because there are 360 satellite volcanoes surrounding it, LOL. Hallasan is a large UNESCO biosphere reserve. You will follow the trails to explore all of Hallasan. Some people like to conquer, they choose to climb. In addition to tourists, indigenous people also come here to climb (because it is so beautiful). So if you know how to speak Korean, people will tell you many interesting stories about Hallasan.
