[Review] Jeju island (in South Korea)

  Last year, I went to Jeju island with my family.

  Jeju Island, known as the "Island of the Gods," is a popular vacation spot for Koreans. yeah, when I went there, it was best and wonderful place as well:)

 If you read this blog continuously, you can figure out why I feel so.



  [Hotel]  
 my family and I went to "Haevich Hotel". we could see a great park and swimming pool. a wide panorama spreads out before me. not only nice outside, but also beautiful inside was there!
 somtimes we ate buffet meal. there were lots of delicious food that 'all-I-can-eat'. I cannot forget tha buffet until now.

 [Breathtaking Natural Beauty]    

 Jeju Island has a lots of beautiful places. we couldn't see all of the scene, but visited some beautiful places.

 one of the three most famous waterfalls on Jeju Island, Cheonjiyeon (meaning a waterfall connecting the sky (Cheon) and land (ji)) received a large number of tourists to get their picture taken with the falls in the background.  paused to look at the view , we were about to take a picture too! yeah~ It was great!! at that time, I thought how great is our GOD:)

  Jeju island is volcanic. that means that the soil is very good for growing things, all sorts of things.Jeju is particularly famous for citrus fruits like halla-bong and other tangrines. the richness of the soil is not wasted at all.

  And, as it turns out, the soil as well as the weather conditions make the island an optimal environment for growing tea. So during our vacation we went to go to a "Green tea farm" .  

  I enjoyed drinking tea, ice cream, cake (all of these are made of green tea!) at "O’Sulloc Green Tea museum"  Before entering the museum itself, we tramped through the green tea fields for a little while. The fields were beautiful (even though it was winter) and  with rocky volcanic soil, and we could  smell the manure of the green tea field.

  Situated just outside of Seogwipo City is a citrus wonderland in Jeju island, there are  mandarin orange farms that operated by farmers. I' ve heard Winter is the best time to harvest mandarins, so these farmers are busiest at this time of the year. Jeju Island is known for its delicious mandarin oranges. so we decided to go to "Mandarin Orange farms".

  We could not only enjoy fruits but also pick fruits by ourselves:) It was interesting experience.

  If you have never seen under the sea, I recommend that this is a great way to see the beautiful underwater flora and fauna around the island without scuba diving. 

  You can travel underwater in a "Submarine". I saw the wonderful world under the sea by submarine. I was beeeaaauuutiful beyond any possibility of expression in words...

  The last thing that I want to mention is "Riding a hores"!!!! there was a feeling of freedom, of breaking the shackles and surging forward when I am riding a horse.
  My family and I sought out all feelings like thrill, romanticism, and fear(?) while horse riding in Jeju. (actually my father was afraid of horse riding..haha..his face took on a set expression while horse riding. besides, my mom declined to ride...hh)
  Anyway, horse riding in Jeju, I swear It's going to be also your chance to be one with nature and in absolute tranquility!
