🌏Why Jeju Is My Top Recommendation

đŸ„‘I visited Jeju a while back—booked the flight on Tuesday and arrived Thursday night. Spending three full days there (Friday to Sunday) was perfect: staying longer would’ve felt boring, and shorter wouldn’t have let me experience it properly. This was my second trip to Jeju, and I’d definitely say spring is the way to go—the sea is truly stunning. I caught a glimpse of rapeseed flowers, but they were past their prime; the cherry blossoms had all fallen too, which was a small regret.🛝 Plus, South Korea đŸ‡°đŸ‡· is seriously a paradise for drinking and coffee. Prices are super affordable: soju for ~6 RMB a bottle, giant iced Americanos for ~10 RMB, and all kinds of delicious drinks.🛝 Compared to Japan (often hailed as a “top-tier” travel spot), Jeju has much more budget-friendly prices. Let’s break it down against Okinawa: 🚖 Taxis: 8 /km in Jeju vs. 25 RMB/km in Japan. 🚌 Buses: 6 per ride in Jeju (unlimited distance!) with free transfers within 30 minutes; in Okinawa, it’s 12 per ride with no free transfers. For a 40km trip from north to south, Jeju’s bus still costs 6 —Okinawa’s would be 90 . 🍚 Soup rice: 40-50 gets you a meal with a spread of side dishes that feel like a “state banquet.” Every restaurant has its own carefully prepared banchan (side dishes)—no boring, repetitive flavors, which I loved. 🏹 Hotels: Cheap but spotlessly clean. Great scenery, low costs, and a fantastic experience—flights are only an hour long, ticket prices are cheap, and most importantly, it’s visa-free. You can pack your bags and go on a whim. With flights and accommodation included, you can easily circle the island without breaking the bank. Why go to “Korean Streets” in cities later? If you want to experience Korean culture and eat authentic Korean food, just head to Jeju! 😄 #MyHiddenGemIsland #OffTheBeatenPathDestinations #IslandGetaway #UniqueVacationSpots #Jeju #WorldHeritageSite #LesserKnownRoutes
