Ilchulbong 일출봉 at Jejudo

Finally, I got to the top of the crater. I never expected to have the steps designed like the arrangement at the theater for the visitors to enjoy the peak at ilchulbong. Well, to some extent it does serve as a convenient resting area for the visitors, but ..to some extent...it also poses another setback from natural point of view. Well, just saying...^^

On my way to the top. a vast sea and the surrounding neighborhood was visible from afar.

On our way down...... 

i could not stop admiring the blend of nature and the city below. Well, the vast (what should I call this? grass field?, savanna(?) No...!, meadow? Hmm, I am not sure, ok..let's just call it a green plain field....where Jeju horses used to roam^^(or so I heard)

Why not just take a minute and start once again admiring the nature (read: being narcissistic a bit^^) (chuckles)

As I was going down the plain, more and more different-looking scenery kept on rolling into my camera...
the cloudy skies did not hamper my spirit to have them kept secured into my second eyes (camera, I mean)

See the white tents over there? Some people were having a fiesta or party or something. And..some areas were secured for those waiting in line before riding on horses.

 Simply irresistible and temptingly serene plain...for our eyes to behold.

Out of some courses or paths that we could take, this was one of them. paved stones covered most of the walking trails so as to ease visitors who want to enjoy the natural phenomenon there.


Even at this tourist site, 우측보행 or a policy to walk on the right side of the street or paths was also applicable. So, we need to make sure that we walk on the right path so as not to bump into the descending or ascending waves of people who usually throng the area on weekend or holidays. 

A stray of stones signifying the fact that this site is world's natural heritage.

JEJUDO's amazing sunset

I was so perplexed by this picture...Well, I did not take the picture. But this is the very picture that more than often relive and visualize the characteristic of what Jeju offers to its visitors.
I was lucky enough to be able to visit this Ilchulbong or the very place where the majestic sunrise was visible from this famous seaside dormant volcano.
(More about my other Jejudo's stories....later on)^^

JEJUDO

On board the Eaststar Airlines, along with other fellow members of Korea Brand Communicator, we had a field trip to Jeju (Sept. 6-8, 2012). 
I did not know why I always sit right next to my Indian fellow, Bushan Kumar^^. Guess, we'd been together along everywhere we go on the trip organized by Korea Brand Communicator. 
We were so excited to have what we were going to experience in Jeju. Surely, it would be a great time for all of us. Okey, let's start...with......

Jeju Island...here we come..... What a beautiful island, Jeju is...
Ok, the first picture...comes from a sky captured by my friend, lee byul hyun, who was keen enough to seize the moment over the sky in Jeju. 

Another picture taken on board the Eaststar Airlnies. We were taking the 11.30 
 plane heading to Jeju International Airport, scheduled to arrive at 12.35.

Surely, I would'nt miss the chance to capture the boarding pass we got on our hand before boarding the plane...^^  

Ok, a little flash back of the commotion we made right in front of the ticket counter and some snack bar in Kimpo International Airport...

We took a pic but this time, with my not-that-smart smartphone camera....^^ it's dark. Or, the user is not smart since I did not know how to adjust the setting on the camera? (Chuckles^^^^^^.^.^)

OH, just to make it brief, after a 55 minute flight, we landed safely at Jeju International Airport where I noticed an exhibition on Indonesia at the arrival hall of the airport. Too bad, I did not have a chance to see what's being displayed.

The first notion that I got as soon as I stepped outside of the airport was....the palm trees that dotted the landscape and the surroundings...."WOW". I think I felt like not being in Korea...I was in a subtropical country..

A snapshot pic we took with my group. I think it was taken in Tamna Kingdom ruins where the legend of Jeju's first ancestors came from...


It was taken on the top of Ilchulbung, one of the wonders of Jeju. (more about JEJUDO on my other posts^^)
