D4: Jeju Island - Nanjing

Accommodation: Given this was our first visit to Jeju Island, we opted for the Grand Hyatt Hotel in the city center.

Transportation: ✈️ Remember to print your hotel booking confirmations prior to departure, and ensure you bring a pen ❕❕, as you will need to fill out an entry card on the plane. Failure to do so may result in a lengthy delay. For transportation on the island, we chartered a private car at a cost of 170,000 KRW per day, which was convenient, and all communication was conducted in Mandarin Chinese. Transportation on Udo Island was rather inconvenient. Without an international driving permit, one can only rent an electric bicycle (do take precautions). The owner of the rental shop was originally from Northeast China, and was very accommodating. Due to a minor incident, he even drove me back to the shop.

Dining: Our culinary experience in Jeju Island was generally positive. The only disappointment was the Aged Black Pork, which was not exceptional. If you are keen on sampling black pork, I suggest choosing a restaurant that does not have a long queue; the taste will be largely similar. I highly recommend the seafood ramen near Aewol-eup (incredibly fresh), the Hahahaho Burger on Udo Island (abundant sauce), and the marinated crab near Dongmun Market (a must for those who enjoy pickled dishes). As for coffee shops, the flavors are relatively uniform; lattes tasted like a very standard latte. It is thus advisable to select coffee shops with scenic views.

Communication: Purchasing a Korean SIM card is very convenient, and we brought our own power adapters.
