We woke up bright and early to make the 30 minute trek to the top of Seongsan Ilchulbong (a.k.a. Sunrise Peak) to watch its famed sunrise. It was beautiful!
After the sunrise we went back to Jeju Lux Hotel to get a bit more sleep. We returned to Ilchulbong/Sunrise Peak for lunch and the 1:00 pm women divers' performance. Jeju Island's female divers are famous for free diving to catch octopus and shellfish. Due to the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, the performance was cancelled. We were still happy we made the second trip because the grounds are stunning. Tim also made friends with the women who run the small seafood stand on the beach where the women divers perform. They liked him so much they gave him some free abalone and two shots of soju from an abalone shell!
Our next stop was the stunning Seo-U-Bong Beach at Hamdeok! We were not expecting what we saw: clear blue water and white sand beaches! We want to go back and spend more time at that gorgeous beach!
Hamdeok is in northern Jeju, so we had to drive for about an hour south to the cliffs of Jusangjeolli near the International Convention Center. The tide was high during our visit. We were still able to see and admire the cliffs, but they're best viewed at low tide.
For our last night on Jeju Island, we stayed at H.Y. Palace Hotel in Seogwipo, which is just a five-minute walk from the A-Rang JoEul Food Streets. Despite lots of restaurants being closed due to the holiday, we found a delicious Jeju pork Korean BBQ restaurant and ate to our tummies' content. :)
Thank you for watching!!
