He boarded the boat at 1 AM and arrived in Jeju around 6 AM, just in time for the glorious Jeju sunrise to welcome this visitor.

Tips for renting a motorbike in Jeju
Renting a motorbike in Jeju is very simple. Trong Nghia rented one through an Instagram page of a Korean friend, near Jeju Airport, only about 1 km away.
Nghia said, "The rental price for a car ranges from 35,000 won to 50,000 won per day, depending on the type of car." He chose a car that cost 35,000 won, plus insurance of about 15,000 won, bringing the total rental cost to 50,000 won per day.
Jeju also boasts no shortage of magnificent landscapes.
To rent a car, tourists just need to contact them in advance and present their driver's license. "I have a Korean driver's license, so the car rental process was very convenient. Tourists should convert their driver's license to an international license for easier car rental and to ensure safety while traveling," he said.

"Plan your day's activities and return to your hotel before 6-7 pm, and avoid driving at night on deserted roads," he added.

Recalling the trip, he said: "Driving past mountain peaks with lush green trees on both sides and the deserted scenery on the way back to the hotel at night was a 'slightly eerie' experience for me. Besides that, the sunset in Jeju left a deep impression with its brilliant golden sunlight and cool sea breeze, creating a breathtaking scene that I can never forget. Even now, when I think of Jeju, that's the first image that comes to mind."
