They Say Jeju Feels Like a Tier 3-4 County Town in China—Here’s My Tak

​ 💫When I landed early in the morning, I noticed there weren’t many people around—and most shops only opened at 10 or 10:30 AM! I wandered around the whole day and still found the area pretty quiet, though other districts had a bit more foot traffic. Honestly, that “small-town vibe” isn’t a bad thing—it makes the trip feel more relaxed, no pushing through crowds like in big cities! 🚶♀️​ 💫200-Word Practical Guide for First-Timers & Students​🙂 1. Morning Rhythm Tip: Since shops open late, use early mornings to visit less-crowded spots! Head to Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak around 8 AM—you’ll have the sunrise views (if you wake up early enough 🌅) and fewer tourists. Grab a quick breakfast at 7-Eleven (open 24/7) near your accommodation—try their kimbap or tteokbokki!​🙂 2. Crowd Avoidance Hack: Stick to “local areas” like Aewol-eup’s small coastal villages or Seogwipo’s rural trails if you prefer quiet. If you want more buzz, head to downtown Jeju City (Bokjeong-ro) or Dongmun Market in the afternoon—shops are fully open, and street food stalls are lively 🥟.​ 3. Student Budget Bonus: Many cafes offer small discounts with student IDs (just show your card!). For transport, T-Money cards save you 10% on bus fares—top up 10,000 KRW (≈50 RMB) at a time, which is enough for 8-10 bus rides.​🙂 4. First-Time Travel Ease: Even with the “small-town” feel, English signs are common at airports, stations, and major attractions. Use Papago for simple conversations (like asking shop opening times)—locals are happy to help!​🙂 #JejuIsland #JejuTravel #FirstTimeAbroad #JejuTravelGuide #CollegeStudentAbroad #SouthKorea​
