Day 4: From Seoul to Jeju Island 第四天:从首尔到济州岛


Left our apartment at about 7:30am to catch a flight at Gimpo Airport (김포국제공항) to Jeju (제주도). It is really convenient, took about 30mins to reach the airport from Yongsan where we departed, via subway. Check-in and immigration were really quick as well, took just 5-10mins! We ended up with too much time to idle around. Had breakfast and coffee before we catch our flight to Jeju at 10am via Eastar Jet.

早上 7:30 离开了住宿,前往金浦机场 (김포국제공항) 到济州岛 (제주도)。从我们的住宿前往机场非常方便,只需 30 分钟。机场手续也非常快,5 到 10 分钟就搞定,结果太多空闲时间。到了咖啡厅坐坐,喝咖啡,用早餐。到济州岛乘搭的飞机是 Eastar Jet。

112 Haneul-gil, Gangseo-gu, Seoul

Gimpo Airport Station (line 5, 9 or Airport Railroad) An hour flight to Jeju. Our first destination was to catch the cherry blossoms that had their first bloom just a few days back! Took the Jeju City Bus to Jeju Bus Terminal (제주시외버스터미널). It is KRW3,000 per trip, and KRW12,000 for a one day pass. We took the single trip option. Lots of cherry trees around this terminal!

1 小时的飞行,抵达济州岛,第一个景点是看樱花。济州岛的樱花几天前才刚开花,首尔的就要等多 1 到 2 星期后。搭了济州城市巴士 (Jeju City Bus) 到济州巴士终站 (제주시외버스터미널)。1 天行程费用是韩币 12,000,1 趟行程费用是韩币 3,000。巴士站附近就有很多樱花了!

After which, from Jeju Bus Terminal, we took bus 182 to Donggwang Transit Centre (동광환승정류장 - 서귀방면), about 40mins ride. Then the 820 Tourist Shuttle Bus to Hello Kitty Island (헬로키티아일랜드). This place is great for little ones and fans of Hello Kitty! Otherwise nothing much~ Not as impressive as the Minion and Pixar Exhibition that I went before.

接着返回巴士站,搭了 182 号巴士到东望转车站 - 西谷地区 (동광환승정류장 - 서귀방면),大越 40 分钟行程。然后转搭 820 号旅客小巴到凯蒂猫世界 (헬로키티아일랜드)。这个地方适合小朋友和凯蒂猫粉丝!不然其实没什么~ 和我去过的神偷奶爸和皮克斯展览相比,这个真的算没什么。

It was about 4pm when we left the Hello Kitty Place, so we decided Soingook Theme Park (소인국테마파크) shall be the last place. This place exhibits landmarks around the world in miniature form. It is really impressive to see all the works and many are very perfect. Little did I know the Gyeongbok Palace (경복궁) actually takes up so much land! White House of America is really huge as well.

离开凯蒂猫世界时已经大约是下午 4 点了,所以只能选去多一个地方,而就是小人国主题公园 (소인국테마파크)。这里展出来自世界各地著名地标的微缩模型。模型各个们多做得非常逼真,真是令人目瞪口呆!没想到韩国的景福宮 (경복궁) 和美国的白宫,其实占用这么多土地空间!
