Beautiful Spring in South Korea - Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak (Day 5, 08 Apr 2013)

Jeju Island is famous for 3 significant things - A lot of women, a lot of rocks and a lot of wind! Therefore, during the journey, we can see a lot of wind turbines along the roadside. It's is a very environmentally friendly way of power generation :)

After we enjoyed a fun photo session at 3D Trick Art Museum 3D 奥妙艺术馆, we headed to our next stop - Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak 城山日出峰. This is a beautiful volcano mountain where its peak rose from under the sea in a volcanic eruption over 100,000 years ago! However, due to our tight schedule again, we decided not to climb up the mountain (Actually I wish to take a walk on a warm and bright sunny day...). Although our driver-guide told us that it only needs 25 minutes of walking journey to reach the peak and walk down from the peak. But, I guess only his speed can achieve that! Haha...

Before we were taking some photos at Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak 城山日出峰, we were hungry, so we asked our driver guide to recommend a Chinese restaurant for lunch. So he brought us to a Chinese restaurant nearby the Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak 城山日出峰. We had our late lunch (3 pm) at this restaurant named Guo Feng restaurant 国风饭店. I was eager to try the Zhajiangmian 炸酱面 which I always saw in Korean dramas. After I tried it, I personally feel that the taste was just OK. Maybe I'm used to eating with the Malaysian style of fried noodles!
