It was nice to be able to meet people who came individually. While it''s hard to see Jeju''s detailed scenery by car, cycling—although strenuous—lets you see the beautiful coastline and get some exercise, so I liked it.
-Jeju Blue Bike trip riding with the wind and following dreams / Noh Min-su, gap-year traveler (gapper) |
I''m Noh Min-su, 26 years old, class of 2013 at Jungwon University. I normally like exercising, so I ride bikes a lot and have tried various sports. Since I started late, I wanted to try everything, and while searching online I found a program called ''gap year'' and felt this was exactly it. It was vacation, and I hadn''t been to Jeju in a while, so I applied to visit Jeju and get some exercise. When I told people I was going to travel around Jeju by bicycle, their reactions were that it would be tough and they asked why I would do it. I just thought I could go, but as the date approached I did wonder whether I could actually do it. Still, since I decided to do it, I figured I''d give it a try.With that mindset I boarded the plane to Jeju.
When I arrived in Jeju and picked up the bicycle I thought, ''Now it really begins.'' But right away something unexpected happened: I had forgotten to pick up a discount coupon... So from that point the bike trip truly began. I went back to the airport to get the coupon, and on the way back I got lost. The owner called and we almost met near the airport; after the owner left I set off toward Yongduam as my first stop.
Yongduam (Dragon Head Rock)It was close to the airport and crowded. I didn''t realize Jeju''s sea was so beautiful; even from above you could see into the water. I admired it quietly and rode on toward the next destination.Iho Tewoo BeachI reached Iho Tewoo Beach quickly following the coastal road. There weren''t many people there. I caught my breath for a moment and then headed to the next spot, Gwakji Gwameul Beach.
But in the hot weather I could feel my stamina dropping. I was so thirsty I stopped at a convenience store to buy a drink to replenish my energy and then rode on. It was hot and tough, but riding while smelling the sea of Jeju made me start singing. And then...Gwakji Gwameul BeachI arrived, rested again, and then headed to the next destination,Hyeopjae BeachIt took a bit of time to get to Hyeopjae Beach, and there were quite a few people there. I had a lot of indecision—whether to stay a bit or to keep going—but in the end I decided to stay briefly, put on my swimsuit, and sit on the beach to watch the sea. I didn''t go into the water because of my phone, so I just sat for a while and then headed to the next destination.
The next destination wasHallim Parkwhich was near Hyeopjae Beach. Time had been delayed, so I only went as far as the entrance of Hallim Park and then headed to the next destination, Bangnimwon, which really caused me a huge meltdown. I kept opening Naver Maps and asking people for directions, but I kept feeling like I was being routed to strange places. Earlier it said 2 km, then after going a bit it said 3 km, then 4 km, then 2 km again... On top of that the road was uphill and I was told I''d have to go back the way I came, which was really frustrating... Why did I come... After wandering for a long time I finally arrived at 5:30.
I went in and looked around quickly, and when I came out the staff said that if I didn''t have time I should come back tomorrow to see it properly. I said, ''It''s okay, I saw everything,'' and was about to leave, but they insisted on giving me a cold drink, so I cooled off for a bit and then set off for the accommodation. Getting to the lodging also involved asking for directions; I barely made it to an intersection, and the map didn''t show exactly where to turn, so I ended up calling the owner who came out to pick me up and I went in. As soon as I got in I washed up and rested well for the next day''s trip.

On the second day, first I went toMoseulpo Portand went to a place at Moseulpo Port famous forSanbang Restaurant to try Jeju-style milmyeon (wheat noodles).I arrived around 10:35 and when I asked they said they opened at 11, so I decided to wait. People began to gather one by one and about seven groups formed. I decided to eat, waited, and when I did the noodles were thicker than the noodles in naengmyeon.
After eating milmyeon, I headed toSongaksan (Mount Songak)The way to Songaksan wasn''t that difficult. When I arrived and climbed a bit and looked down, I couldn''t help but admire the view. After climbing a little and coming back down, I went toYongmeori Coastheaded there. At Yongmeori Coast you had to pay an admission fee of 2,000 won to enter. The waves were hitting strongly and it felt like they might come up to where I was. After circling around like that and the thing I had been waiting for...Sanbangsan Carbonated Hot Springsheaded there. The hot spring didn''t seem very large. When I first went in I saw a milky-colored pool, and there was a sign next to it explaining how to enjoy the hot spring, so I read it and followed the instructions. The carbonation really felt like it was clinging to my body, which was fascinating. After leaving the hot spring, now...Jeju World Cup StadiumI rode toward it, but this was a really tough course. Cars and scooters were zooming by, and an uphill stretch lay ahead, so it was really hard.
After struggling to reach Jeju World Cup Stadium, I saw that it had a sort of dome, like a foreign stadium. After watching briefly, I rode toward Oedolgae and Cheonjiyeon Waterfall. When I arrived at Oedolgae, there were many Chinese tourists. By the end I was exhausted and didn''t really sightsee properly; I was busy getting to the accommodation. Then...Cheonjiyeon WaterfallI went toward it. There were many people at Cheonjiyeon Waterfall, mostly Koreans. After viewing the refreshing waterfall, I headed to the accommodation. The guesthouse seemed to offer scuba diving, so there were many people who came for scuba diving.
Spent the second night there, and the next day...NamwonI headed in that direction.Namwon Keuneong Scenic AreaI went there and the coastal scenery was beautiful. But it was very windy on the cliffs and it was scary, so I moved on quickly. And thenShin Young Film MuseumI passed it and headed to Jeju Folk Village.Jeju Folk VillageI arrived; it drizzled lightly as if it were raining, then it stopped. So I toured quickly and went to the nearby...Pyoseon BeachI went there. The coast there felt unusually shallow. On the way out I stopped at a popular restaurant and ate abalone stew in a stone pot. It had many kinds of seafood and was spicy and delicious.

DärefterSeopjikojiJag begav mig dit. Det blåste väldigt mycket även mot Seopjikoji, så det gick trögt att cykla. Jag kämpade mot vinden …
Jag begav mig dit. Även vid Seongsan Ilchulbong fanns det många kinesiska turister; jag hörde mycket kinesiska. Jag besökte Seongsan Ilchulbong som sista stopp och gick sedan till Seongsan Guesthouse i närheten. När jag kom dit fanns det två personer i rummet som berättade att de också hade kommit dit med cykel. Vi pratade en stund och gick sedan ut för att äta middag. Efter middagen småpratade vi en stund vid stranden, gick sedan in och lade oss.
Nästa morgon regnade det redan tidigt. De två andra och jag svepte in våra väskor i regnöverdrag, spände fast dem baktill och begav oss mot vindkraftsparken. Men en av dem fick punktering, så jag cyklade i förväg till …Maze LandJag stannade till vid Maze Land och planerade att träffa dem senare. Där tog jag mig igenom labyrinten och kom ut. Jag gick helt vilse i stengångarna och hittade inte ut förrän efter lång tid. När jag kom ut ringde de, och vi kom överens om att träffas nära museet mot den japanska ockupationen. Efter ungefär 40 minuter träffades vi och …området vid den svarta sandstrandenVi begav oss dit. Först gick vi till platsen där källvatten rinner fram och doppade fötterna. Vattnet var verkligen iskallt, som isvatten. Efter att ha upplevt det kalla vattnet gick vi för att äta. Vi åt bräserad makrill och en måltid med hårstjärt, och gick sedan till den svarta sandstranden. Sanden där var verkligen svart. Det var första gången jag såg den, så det kändes fascinerande. Efter att ha sett det sista resmålet begav vi oss till Jeju flygplats. Därmed …min första cykelresa på fyra dagar och tre nätter.Den är över. På flyget till Jeju kände jag mig lite besviken och det var jobbigt, men det blev ändå en fin upplevelse.
Genom lägerprogrammet under sabbatsåret deltog jag i: vad jag tyckte om, vad som berörde mig, vad jag lärde mig, vad jag insåg och så vidare.
Under sabbatsårsprogrammet var det trevligt att träffa personer som deltog på egen hand, även om vi inte gick exakt samma program. När man åker bil är det svårt att se Jejus detaljerade landskap, men även om cykling är ansträngande kan man se den vackra kusten och få motion, vilket jag tyckte om. Jag tog vägen inåt land i stället för kustvägen, och vägarna var mycket svåra. Därför frågade jag folk, och alla var vänliga och förklarade utförligt. Trots att jag gick vilse eftersom vägarna var svåra blev jag rörd av Jejubornas vänlighet.

I went on a 3-night, 4-day trip, and I think the coastal road is better for cycling. The inland areas are car roads, so there are uphill sections and it''s harder to find your way. If you plan a bicycle trip, making it about 4 nights and 5 days will let you leisurely follow the coastal road and visit nearby attractions.Jag följde rutten som rekommenderades av sabbatsårsprogrammet, och det fungerade bra.
