On my latest journey to Jeju, I spent a while in northwest Jeju\u2019s Aewol and Hallim<\/a> area, and whereas having lunch with my Korean good friend at a restaurant positioned at Hallim Port, I seen a picturesque island within the distance. This little island was Biyangdo \ube44\uc591\ub3c4<\/strong>, the identical island I\u2019d noticed at Hyeopjae and Geumneung Beach the evening earlier than, and it seems the ferry terminal to Biyangdo was a stone\u2019s throw from the place I used to be consuming.<\/p>\n

So naturally I bought curious and determined to go go to this tiny island and had a beautiful morning exploring this island that\u2019s so small, you may stroll round it in simply 1 hour. Here\u2019s my information on the right way to go to Jeju\u2019s Biyangdo with recommendations on the right way to get there by yourself and issues to do on the island.<\/p>\n

Slightly about Biyangdo<\/h2>\n

Biyangdo is the youngest of Jeju\u2019s volcanic islands, having exploded and appeared method again in 1002, which makes it about 1,000+ years previous. The island mainly consists of 1 giant hill within the center and black volcanic rock coast round it. To be fairly trustworthy by way of sights to see, there may be nothing significantly uncommon about Biyangdo that makes it a must-see, however you do get some beautiful views of Jeju island from it and it does make for a pleasant few hours of strolling and having fun with Jeju\u2019s nature.<\/p>\n

If you wish to take a look at extra islands in Korea, head to Oedo Island<\/a> if you happen to\u2019re within the south close to Busan, or perhaps Odongdo in case you are in Jeollanam\u2019s Yeosu<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Where is Biyangdo positioned?<\/h2>\n

Biyangdo is positioned off the northwest finish of Jeju near Hallim. It\u2019s a definite scenic characteristic alongside the Aewol and Hallim shoreline, significantly in case you are at Hyeopjae Beach or Geumneung Beach.<\/p>\n

A notice that there technically is a couple of Biyangdo in Jeju \u2013 if you happen to go to the offshore island of Udo on the east coast of Jeju, it’s linked to a different even smaller island that\u2019s additionally referred to as Biyangdo. More on that in my upcoming submit on Udo.<\/p>\n

How to get to Biyangdo<\/h2>\n

Biyangdo is a 15 minute ferry experience away from Hallim Harbour on the northwest facet of Jeju, about an hour away from Jeju City and a brief distance north of Hyeopjae Beach.<\/p>\n

Buy ferry tickets at Hallim Harbour<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re taking the bus in Jeju<\/a>, take blue bus 202 and cease at Hansuri \ud55c\uc218\ub9ac<\/strong> [Naver Maps<\/a>] \u2013 it\u2019s a reasonably small quiet village that makes you’re feeling such as you\u2019re in the course of nowhere. From there it\u2019s a 5 minute stroll in the direction of the water the place you could find Hallim Harbour \ud55c\ub9bc\ud56d\ub3c4\uc120\ub300\ud569\uc2e4 hanlim hangdoseondaehabsil [Naver Maps<\/a>]. Alternatively, you may drive and park at Hallim Harbour.<\/p>\n

There are two ferry firms promoting tickets to Biyangdo. The costs are the identical (9000 KRW for a round-trip ticket) and the counters are proper subsequent to one another. I recommend you simply choose whichever timing works finest for you. Regardless of the corporate you choose, you continue to must replenish the identical varieties within the ticket workplace, only a matter of the place you pay at.<\/p>\n

\"Jeju
I went with this firm and acquired the 9am boat to Biyangdo with the return journey at 1215pm, giving me 3 hours on the island, which I feel was simply good. 1 hour for the coast, 1 hour for the height, 1 hour to eat and chill. Later boat timings offers you both 2 or 4 hours, and except you\u2019re planning to remain in a single day I don\u2019t suppose you want greater than that.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Jeju
This firm\u2019s timings are barely later and at 2 hour intervals. If you stroll sooner than me, you may go for this to get again earlier (920am \u2013 1135am), or spend much more time mooching across the island<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You purchase your ferry tickets on the day itself. Bring alongside your passport to indicate on the window and replenish a passenger card indicating your private particulars and the ferry occasions that you just wish to ebook in your journey.<\/p>\n

Ferry from Hallim Port to Biyangdo<\/h3>\n

There are a few seats exterior the ticket workplace to attend round, or you may go chill on the eateries or cafes within the neighborhood, simply be again 20-Half-hour earlier than. They allow us to board the ship early, so I headed to the higher deck to snag a great seat. Sit on the correct facet of the boat if you need a pleasant view of Biyangdo as you method the island. The boat experience takes simply quarter-hour anyway\u2026<\/p>\n

Things to do on Biyangdo<\/h2>\n

Very shortly I discovered myself disembarking at Biyangdo port on the southern finish of the island. You mainly have 3 choices on issues to do on Biyangdo. I\u2019ve marked a few of them out on the map however right here\u2019s a run down and my suggestions.<\/p>\n

\"Jeju
Biyangdo port! Come again right here to catch the ferry again to Hallim Harbour. The most important village of Biyangdo is positioned right here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"Jeju
Here\u2019s a map. The coastal route is Course A (orange), whereas the hike to the height is Course B (inexperienced)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Walk across the island by the Coastal Trail<\/h3>\n

Most folks made a beeline in the direction of the height path (likely to keep away from the warmth later within the morning), so I made a decision to take a stroll across the island first. There is a well-paved street that circles the island which is generally flat and provides beautiful coastal views. If you might be fortunate, you would possibly spot some haenyeo (Jeju\u2019s well-known ladies divers) at work off the coast, or fishermen reeling of their traces.<\/p>\n

This coastal path ought to take you about an hour to stroll at a snug tempo. There are outlets the place you may hire bicycles from outlets across the port if you happen to actually wish to zip across the island.<\/p>\n

There can be an inventory of \u2018significant rocks\u2019 that may be discovered round Biyangdo. I personally don\u2019t suppose any of them have been that convincing, however in case you have an interest, this specific hornito (hole chimney-like rock buildings fashioned when escaping lava cools shortly) within the northeast that appears like a mom with a child on her again has been designated a nationwide treaure: Natural Monument No. 439.<\/p>\n

Climb to the highest of Biyangbong \ube44\uc591\ubd09<\/h3>\n

Biyangbong is 114m tall and you’ll scale as much as its peak to benefit from the view of the volcanic crater and the encircling coast. There are 2 entrances to the height path \u2013 1 from close to the port within the south, and one other on the southwest facet of the island. They each result in the identical stairway that you could climb to get to the height. It took me just below half an hour to get to the lighthouse proper on the high, and that concerned a reasonably sluggish climb and many picture taking alongside the way in which.<\/p>\n

The viewing platform isn\u2019t fairly the highest of Biyangbong. There remains to be one final stretch to climb to get to the Biyangdo Lighthouse (\ube44\uc591\ub3c4 \ub4f1\ub300 biyangdo deungdae). This path is unpaved however strengthened for some tread as a result of that incline is fairly rattling steep \u2013 I’ve determined from all of the slopes I\u2019ve climbed in Korea that the locals simply don\u2019t consider in switchbacks.<\/p>\n

Eat at Biyangdo village<\/h2>\n

After all that strolling and climbing, I used to be undoubtedly within the temper for one thing to eat. There is a small village space within the south of the island close to the port the place there are a handful of eateries and cafes. Apparently Biyangdo was recognized to have simply 2 eating places up to now, however now they’ve extra choices.<\/p>\n

Bomal Iyagi \ubcf4\ub9d0\uc774\uc57c\uae30<\/h3>\n

Jeju is legendary for contemporary seafood, in order that\u2019s what you get right here. Bomal Iyagi specialises in Bomal or conch, one of many must-eat meals in Jeju. You can order it in numerous varieties right here \u2013 bomal kalguksu \ubcf4\ub9d0\uce7c\uad6d\uc218 (with noodles), bomal jeon \ubcf4\ub9d0\uc804 (fried in a pancake), bomal barley bibimbab \ubcf4\ub9d0\ubcf4\ub9ac\ube44\ube54\ubc25 (blended with barley rice) \u2013 I selected to get mine in rice porridge aka bomal juk \ubcf4\ub9d0\uc8fd aka conch porridge. It\u2019s fairly much like Jeonbokjuk (abalone porridge), but it surely was heat, hearty and felt like a pleasant house cooked meal.<\/p>\n

\"Jeju
I ate this at one other restaurant, however if you happen to\u2019re curious as to what bomal appears to be like like inside. It\u2019s kinda chewy! And the greenish bit inside is a tad bitter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I nonetheless had time to kill after lunch, so I walked again to this newish cafe that I noticed alongside the coastal path to get a drink. The identify of the cafe interprets to one thing like \u2018Stay Still Cafe<\/strong>\u2018 and it was great because it was air-conditioned so I could get out of the sun for a bit and enjoy a fancy drink. The signature dessert here is mugwort which isn\u2019t my factor so I had a refreshing grapefruit ade as a substitute for six,000 KRW.<\/p>\n
