Jeju Island

Day Two- Part One


We did the tourist thing of hopping on and off the tour bus to snap a couple of photos, covering as many places as possible! HAHA..



Manjanggul Cave is a lava tunnel formed when the lava that was deep in the ground flows to the surface.

Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak is a huge crater located on the eastern end of Jejudo Island.

^ View from halfway up.

Seongeup Folk Village (plus lots of cherry blossoms!)



^ Roofs are tied down because of strong winds on the island.

^ Interior view of the roof.

^ Jeju Island is famous for its black pig. In the old days, the pigs would feed on human feces and are supposed to be very nutritious and famous for their great tasting meat.
^ These yellow flowers were in abundance all over the island. Seems like they're wild flowers.

Oedolgae Rock is a rock formation. Chinese pronounciation is "Jiang1Jun1Shi2"-- General Rock. There were soooooooooooooo many chinese tourists milling around, taking photos, shouting to each other how it's shown on Daejangguem. *roll eyes*
