Seong Mountain (성산)

another place that i went in Jeju was Seong mountain. from the top of this mountain, you can see the sun rise and sun set so beautifully. however, i didn’t have chance to see it. in the gate of this mountain, there is a schedule for sun rise and sun set everyday. the time is change every month. so, if we want to go there, we can check first.

this mountain isn’t too high but the scenery is nice. this is the first time to hike again after 10 years ago. i never go hiking again because i always stay in Jakarta. in Jakarta, there isn’t any mountain. i felt so exited to reach the top of the mountain. at first time, i didn’t want to go up. but my friend said that i had to try to go there. he encouraged me much, then i tried to reach the top.

while walking, we were taking pictures and talking about this mountain. many tourist came here at that time. also, we got a new Korean friend. they came with their family. furthermore, we went down to the gate. in the bottom, there is small beach. we played there for a while before we ate lunch. you can imagine right, how was my feeling at that time? went to the beach and also mountain was a great exprience. i really enjoyed my time there. ^^

things that you have to know:
1. we need to pay 2000 won before we come inside.
2. bring water, in the top of the mountain there isn’t any shop
3. bring small tower, maybe you’ll sweating
4. use your sneackers, it makes you easy to walk
5. CAMERA!!!

O’sulloc (Tea Museum)

the first time i arrived in Jeju island, i went to this museum with all my exchange student friends since at that time we had 3 days field trip to Jeju-do. we got off the bus and directly can breath the fresh air. there is many tea trees, all the scenery is green, only some parts of it is yellow because there is a little bit of sun flower. then we dicided to come inside the museum. by the way, o’sulloc has a meaning. o means enjoy and appreciate. sulloc is just a name.

in this museum, we can see many traditional korean teas. however, the famous one is the green tea which is very healthy. also, we can learn how Korean usually drink tea. korean believes that if they drink a drink/tea from natural plants, it can helps them to maintain their health.

in here, they also sell many kinds of tea, cosmetics made from green tea, food and drink. at that time, i tried green tea milk shake, it costed me about 7000 won. it’s expensive, but the taste is so unbelievable. the smell and taste of green tea is so deep. i also tried the green tea ice cream; my friend bought it. it’s very delicious. the ice cream price is 2500 won. moreover, they also sell cake and cookies made from green tea. well, everything is made from green tea.
when we enjoy our food/drink, we can sit outside the cafe while enjoying the fresh air and beautiful green scenery. the garden interior is very artistic. uppss…i forget. even if the toilet, they make it very artistic and unique.

so, don’t forget to visit O’SULLOC when you go to Jeju Island.
