Jeju Travel story

Travel to Jeju Island, South Korea.

01 Local Customs and Traditions of Jeju Island Jeju Island holds a similar status in South Korea as Hainan Island does in China. In 2007, Jeju Island was designated as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site. It is an island full of attractions, delicious food, and fun, and is also a popular tourist destination for Koreans. In ancient times, Jeju Island was home to an independent kingdom called 'Tamna,' which has preserved unique customs, dialects, and culture. Since ancient times, the island has been famous for its 'Three Abundances, Three Lacks, and Three Beauties.' 'Three Abundances' refers to the abundance of stones, wind, and women, hence Jeju Island is also known as the Island of Three Abundances. 'Three Lacks' refers to the lack of thieves, gates, and beggars. 'Three Beauties,' also known as the 'Three Treasures,' refers to Jeju's beautiful nature, folklore, and traditional crafts; it also refers to the three major resources of agriculture, seafood, and tourism; and it signifies Jeju's rich human touch, beautiful nature, and unique local products. 02 Visa-Free Policy 1. Hold a valid Chinese passport. (at least six months of validity, and no record of visa refusal by the Korean embassy) 2. Round-trip direct flight tickets, hotel reservations, and itinerary 3. Entry card, customs declaration form, and health status form (distributed on the plane) PS: The visa-free policy only applies to direct flights to Jeju Island. If you plan to visit other cities, you need to apply for a separate visa. 03 Communication Tips WIFI Many guesthouses, restaurants, cafes, attractions, and public areas in Jeju Island offer wifi, but for safety reasons, it is best to enable network access. To be safe, you can rent a portable WIFI device, which can be rented directly at the airport before departure, and the rental fee is not expensive. SIM Card There are many unlimited data SIM cards available on Taobao for different durations. You can choose between mail delivery and airport pickup. The network and call quality are smooth, and it is highly recommended. International Roaming You can generally activate your carrier's international roaming service while still in your home country. 04 Navigation Tips The commonly used Baidu, Gaode, or Google Maps on your phone may not work well in South Korea... To avoid confusion, you can download the 'NAVER Map' app before departure. 05 Translation Software Tips The biggest fear when traveling abroad is the language barrier, so having a reliable translation app on your phone is very important. Recommended translation apps include Youdao Translator or NAVER Dictionary, which handle full-sentence translation, voice translation, and photo translation without any issues. Even if you don't know Korean or English, these apps are sufficient. 06 Charging Equipment Tips South Korea uses German standard plugs, and hotels generally do not provide adapter plugs, so be sure to bring the appropriate adapter plug. Also, South Korea does not have the widespread shared power banks like in China, so to avoid running out of battery on your phone, remember to bring your charging cable and power bank.
