Day 3 - Seoul, "Dai Cheong Gam" movie set & Nami island

I'm sure most of us have watched this famous korean series 'Da Cheong Gam'. I visited the place where they filmed it. The place is a bit run down because it has been there for many years. I heard that they are going to tear down the place soon.


My handsome... hahahah


Shooshhh... I'm busy preparing meals for the king.. ;)



After that, we went to another famous place called 'Nami Island'. This island was made popular by another famous korean series 'Winter Sonata'. I haven't watched this series before though. :P

Not sure why is there a mermaid in front of the entrance of the island.

I think this is the main actor & Actress of Winter Sonata. aww.. so deeply in love eh..



The weather was freaking cold when I was there.. Shiverring most of the time but the scenery is good. Check out the pictures I took below. You can come here 4 times a year. Reason for that is because the scenery is different in every season. When I was there, it was Spring. So all the leaves are all Green. If you go few months later, the leaves will turn red. Then during autumn, everything will be brown. Not too sure how it looks like during winter. I think you'll just see branches without leaves? :)

Great Grandfather of Jeju

In Jeju island, you'll be able to find plenty of "Tolharubang" or the great grandfather statue. This big statue is actually a black lava rock and it is regarded as guardian deities of Jeju island.

Day 1 : Seoul / Jeju-do

"AnnYoung" means Hello in Korean. I just got back from Korea few days back. :) I was there for 6 nights with my mum, dad and uncle.


We reached Incheon International Airport at 8am in the morning. We were supposed to take a flight to Jeju-do at 2pm in the afternoon. In between this time, we went to the famous 'Ladies street' for shopping. There were plenty of clothes and shoes for sale. Didn't buy anything though. It's only my first day in Korea. :D

For lunch, we had the famous Ginseng Chicken.
We boarded a fokker plane to Jeju island. This is a small aircraft with only 4 seats a row. Cute uh.. :)

In Jeju-do, we visited 'Tamla Mok Sok Won' which is a rock garden. There's a huge collection of of natural rock and wood sculptures. All sculptures on display are natural lava rocks and basalt stone.
