Marvelous cafes in Jeju
#100waysoftravel
Kick off my day, breakfast at paik’s bakery and their puffs pastries are thumbs up, I even take-away in a cooler bag and flew them back home. Took a bus (able to get bus card from any convenience store) towards Tapdong Plaza where there’s a lovely path way by the seaside with statues along the path, great for pictures. Took a slow stroll towards YongDam area and head towards Antoinette Cafe & Bistro which suited at a hill-slope. The cafe has great ocean views and varieties of pastries and bakery to choose from, lovely place to chill indoors as well as outdoor. Also try to spot Haenyeo (women divers) in the ocean waters as well. After that head down the hill-slope and travel back to city centre for some shopping. (Lotte Mart and three multi story daiso building) For dinner, in Korea must try their chicken and beer combination trend, any fried chicken store is good enough for the craves.
Lastly, had my sweet tooth at cafe ChaCha coffee where they got cute looking tasty desserts which I can’t miss it, ended my sweet day.
Snoopy Garden, Jeju Island, South Korea
The Snoopy Garden in Jeju Island has indoor exhibitions and outdoor gardens. Most of the spaces are outdoor-oriented. I happened to experience a typhoon in Jeju Island in September this year. Walking around the outdoor garden on a rainy day was really fun. It was a bit troublesome because the floor was a lot muddy.
But for people who like Snoopy, I think this place is great. You will find a lot of surprises in the Snoopy Garden. There are photo spots every few steps, and there are also small puzzle games that are very special.
Finally, before leaving, be sure to go to the cafe to buy something to eat and drink, and then go to the souvenir shop to buy peripheral products. If I have a chance to come back next time, I hope it will be sunny!
Enjoying the serendipity at Halla Aboretum near Jeju Airport
#parksandgardens #100waysoftravel
I had a 3 days 2 nights travel at Jeju and during my last day there, I visited the Halla Aboretum before heading back to Seoul, due to its close proximity from Jeju Airport. Entrance is free so this is definitely a good bargain, as you can see all the faunas there. What attracts me the most is the enchanting bamboo forest which leads to the healing forest, where there is a trail along the heavy bushes and trees, and there are nice benches for you to rest while breathing the nice and fresh air. There are also nice flowers like hydrangeas blooming, which you get to enjoy but the main theme here are the trees. It is a very nice park to visit before heading to the airport.
Hwajowon / Flower Bird Park

Wolyeong Beach, a secluded hidden spot on the west side of Jeju Island
#JejuTravel
Wolyeong Beach is a hidden beach in Jeju that is great for water play.
This year, the hot weather lasted longer, so I was able to enjoy water play even in the fall!
Jeju is warm, so people enjoy water play even in the fall.
They say it's a hidden spot, but there were really no people and it was quiet.
There were big rocks, so it was nice to sit in a shady spot.
If you move a little further in from Wolyeong Port, you'll come across a beach.
The port side is good for snorkeling,
and the beach side is good for playing in the waves.
The waves at Jeju's famous beaches are all relatively calm,
but this one isn't exactly dangerous,
but the high waves were so much fun.
The cactus colony right next to it is a walking course that I really liked,
so it's the perfect way to end a day of water play while enjoying the scenery!

If you're going to Jeju, you have to stay at the Grand Hyatt!
It was my first time in Jeju and I chose to stay at the Grand Hyatt in the city center. It's convenient to get anywhere from here. The smallest room is 65 square meters and the double bed is 1.5 meters. It's the tallest hotel in Jeju and you can see the whole city from here. It has all the facilities you need, including an international buffet, Chinese food, Korean BBQ, Japanese food, hot pot, and more!
There's a shopping center on the 3rd and 4th floors, so you can stay in for 2 days. It's only a few hundred meters from the Shilla Duty Free and Lotte Duty Free, so you can enjoy shopping.
If you're going to Jeju, especially for the first time, I highly recommend staying at the Grand Hyatt!

The waters at Handam Beach are relatively calm, especially during good weather, which makes it a perfect location for kayaking. The beach is sheltered by natural rock formations, providing a safe and tranquil environment for paddlers.

Best Bingsu @ Jeju
The city hall location of Alice cafe was barely 2 minutes walk from where we stayed. We travelled as a family and all of us have a sweet tooth. Besides, we are Bingsu fans and it is one of our favourite desserts when visiting south Korea.
During a week long stay in Jeju. We visited this place thrice. Alice cafe does a very high quality bingsu. No wonder they are so popular. The texture of the ice was soft, yet was able to maintain its distinct stringy shape without melting quickly.
The matcha bingsoo came with a scoop of ice cream and a slice of cheesecake, and there was an additional option with more toppings. Another occasion we also tried their strawberry bingsu and the mango and apple bingsu. It is a minimalist menu so you can try most of their items during a few days of stay. It's absolutely recommended

Jeju's Western Fairy Tale Village: A Place Where Forest Fairies Live
Under the clear blue sky, there stands a 100-year-old tangerine tree in 'Today Jeoji,' a private accommodation nestled in a quiet corner of a serene village. It was the perfect place for us to enjoy a private and peaceful retreat. The outdoor jacuzzi in the yard and the swing hanging from the tangerine tree gave us a warm, fairy-tale-like feeling, making us feel like forest fairies for the day. 🍀
The interior of the accommodation is a studio type, but the space is well-separated, and the cute decorations and interior design were exactly to our taste. 🧡 It felt like a small villa in Jeju that I wanted to call my own, so I will definitely book it a hundred times over.
