A visit to Cosmos Ulleungdo, featured on the Earth Marble Tour!
#Domestic travel #Cosmos Ulleungdo #Ulleungdo travel #Cafe Ulla #Ulleungdo travel course #The most expensive hotel in Korea
I visited Cosmos Resort, located a little bit away from Cheonbu, Ulleungdo!
I visited to commemorate the broadcast of the Earth Marble winning trip, and Ulleungdo mascot 'Ula' posed nicely and greeted us :)
There was a walking trail around the accommodation, so it was nice to run around lightly, and there were many photo zones, so I was able to take a lot of great photos!
Pros 👍
1. The building itself is so pretty.
2. There are many photo zones where you can take great photos.
3. Ulleungdo mascot 'Ula' is there.
If you come to Ulleungdo, how about staying for a night at Cosmos Resort, a must-visit?

Why not go to Dokdo this year?!
#Let's go on a trip #Dokdo #Ulleungdo #Travel destination recommendation
Dokdo!! You just say you want to go, but when are you going to go?
Don't worry anymore and let's go!!!!!
I went to Pohang Station and took a boat from Pohang Station
You can also go from Gangneung!
You can park in the free parking lot in Gangneung and take a boat to get there~
The boat from Gangneung is a bit faster!
Dokdo, which is said to require 3 generations of virtue,
I went in one go ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
If the weather is bad, the boat won't even sail,
but even if the boat sails, there are fewer days when you can get off at Dokdo and step on land!
Hurry up and do a lot of good deeds and go to Dokdo~~~~!

Cafe Ulla, the best ocean view cafe in Ulleungdo ☕️💙
#CafeWithAGoodView #Ulleungdo #CafeUla #OceanViewCafe
Ulleungdo CafeUla is a cafe that I would highly recommend to those traveling to Ulleungdo. The view is great because the East Sea is cool and looks down. And if you look at the sculptures throughout the cafe, you won't know how time flies. The coffee tastes good, and CafeUla's mascot, the gorilla, is so cute.

Ulleungdo, the island of the primitive
#SpringTravel #Ullakafe #DokdoTravel #Gwaneumdo
Ulleungdo is the best when it comes to views from Korea
I was really surprised as soon as I arrived. .
What should I say? . A place with the beauty of the beginning?
I personally think Ulleungdo is much prettier than Jeju Island
The water is also so so clean..
It was hard to get there by boat, but I want to go again.

Places to visit in Ulleungdo, Gwaneumdo
This is Gwaneumdo.
It's the place we went to when we traveled to Ulleungdo last time!
Unfortunately, we couldn't go to the observatory across the bridge due to time constraints ㅜㅜㅜ But the front was still so pretty! It feels like being in nature ^p^
Gwaneumdo is a natural environment conservation area, so you can see various aquatic creatures (8 species of coastal invertebrates, bullet snails dominate the upper part of the rocky intertidal zone, and black-tailed snails dominate the lower part) that we don't usually see in 'that' environment, and you can see a lot of black-tailed gulls!
As you can see, the sea is really clear 👍 👍 It was a place where you could practice taking pictures using black-tailed gulls as models(?).
📌 Gwaneumdo
Address | Cheonburi, Buk-myeon, Ulleung-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do
Admission | Adults 4,000 won Youths 3,000 won Children 2,000 won

The only underwater observatory in Korea where you can see the underwater scenery
There's an observatory in the ocean?!
One of my favorite spots in Ulleungdo, Cheonjungbu Observatory. Even if you can't scuba dive, you can still see all the fish in the water of Ulleungdo.
📍Location: Ulleungdo Underwater Observatory
- Admission: 4,000 won
- 50% discount for those who have completed the vaccination, so get certified and get a discount!
🔼 There are so many fish in the water. Surprise surprise..😮
🔼 There are no good night view restaurants in Ulleungdo?! The underwater observatory is a great place to see the night view in Ulleungdo with rainbow-colored lights at night.

You and I can take a picture of our lives 📸 It's possible! Winter Ulleungdo Nari Basin ❄️
There is no better place to take a life shot!
How to get there:
No matter where you are in Ulleungdo, you have to go to 'Cheonbu' and transfer to a bus to Nari Basin! You can use the bus schedule captured at Ulleung County Office to get the bus ticket!
Tip 🤫 : You can't transfer to Ulleungdo buses 🙅🏻♀️
Attraction: Ulleungdo Nari Basin in winter
Recommended food & restaurant: Nari Basin Sanmaeul Restaurant _ Recommended wild vegetable bibimbap!
Nari Basin boasts its beauty even in summer, but its real charm is in winter!
Maybe because of the high altitude, the snow doesn't melt even in the warm climate, so it piles up all winter and reaches up to your knees. It's a snow that sticks together well, so there are many snowmen everywhere ⛄

Ulleungdo travel course, old military governor's residence, stamp tour location
Ulleungdo travel course was chosen based on the stamp tour location.
We stayed near Jeodong Port, so we chose Dodong Port as our first travel course,
and we took a bus that went straight to the old county governor's office,
but it had an open atmosphere like a regular home,
and the inside was like a Japanese-style house.

A sturdy lighthouse protecting Ulleungdo ⛵️
Today, I'm going to introduce you to the reliable Taeha Lighthouse that protects Ulleungdo residents who travel a lot by boat. 🤗
Taeha Lighthouse is located on the top of a mountain, so it's good to walk along the beach in front and then hike up to the lighthouse. 🤩 I thought hiking was too hard, so I took the monorail up to the lighthouse. 🤣 The monorail was also fun. 🤭
I thought the lighthouse wouldn't be anything special, but it was bigger than I thought! Plus, when I looked at the cliff, the sunrise and sunset felt like art. 🥺✨
I recommend visiting Taeha Lighthouse in the morning or evening. 👍🏻

Ulleungdo, Dokdo National Geopark 💚
Bongrae Falls, part of Ulleungdo Dokdo National Geopark, is a must-see course for Ulleungdo travel ⛰
Since it preserves nature as it is, you can feel the mountains and nature as they are in the middle of going to the waterfall 💚
You can set aside 1 hour for the round trip, but the path is a bit rough, so if you are not confident in hiking, it might be a bit difficult 💦 I also had a hard time while hiking 🥲
However, the waterfall you see at the top of the mountain made you forget all the hardships 😇

Ulleungdo Food Jeodong Port Food Alley
What is the most delicious food in Ulleungdo?
On the first day, as soon as I arrived, I ran to the Jeodong Port food alley and visited a famous restaurant that a sikgaek had visited.
I ordered Osam Bulgogi and Tadak Kalguksu, and it was definitely worth a sikgaek.
That evening, I visited Dokdo Restaurant and had Jajangmyeon and Jjambbong.
The Jjajang was a bit salty, but the Jjambbong was really delicious. The seafood was incredibly fresh.
The next day, while driving along the coastal road, I went to Daepung Restaurant near Hyeonpo Port.
This place was famous for its local cuisine. As expected, I ordered Osam Bulgogi and Galbitang, and the Galbitang was really delicious.
And for my last dinner, I chose Makchang and Samgyeopsal!
The meat was just okay, but the Doenjang Jjigae was truly a work of art.
And lastly, the bare-faced squid sold at the Jeodong Port street stall is a must~
It's so delicious

The best memory of my trip to Ulleungdo
I think there are many people who are planning a trip to Ulleungdo.
Ulleungdo, which I arrived at after overcoming severe seasickness, was so beautiful that it was worth the effort.
After arriving at Jeodong Port and passing a hectic time, Jeodong Port, where people had all disappeared, was truly the epitome of leisure.
A place that boasts beautiful scenery wherever you go.
A place that makes you exclaim in admiration.
A place where you were happy just by being on the island itself.
Traveling leaves many memories,
but since Ulleungdo was difficult to get to, there were many things I remember.

Heart-shaped waterfall, Bongnae Falls, Ulleungdo
I finally visited Bongrae Falls, which became a bucket list item for my Ulleungdo trip after seeing the heart-shaped falls!
The admission fee is 2,000 won for adults, but if you reserve online in advance, you can get a 40% discount, so make sure to get it in advance.
The path to the falls is a flat course with a slight uphill slope + stairs, but it is easy enough for young children.
You can't go up close to Bongrae Falls, so you have to see it from the observatory about 300m away, but it is so big that you can see it well from the observatory. You can see the falls at the same eye level from the wooden deck, which is a great photo spot.
After coming down, be sure to have a glass of refreshing pumpkin sikhye at the store across from the parking lot. The heat will quickly subside. At that moment, it's truly a heavenly taste!

Ulleungdo free travel, Gwaneumdo trekking
Gwaneumdo, which is considered one of the three most beautiful places in Ulleungdo along with Samseonam and Jukdo, can be reached by walking through the Yeondogyo Bridge connecting Ulleungdo.
The trekking course takes about an hour, and while walking the 350~500m course,
you can enjoy the wonderful 360-degree panoramic view.
However, it is very windy and the sunlight is hot,
so I recommend applying sunscreen and wearing sneakers with pants.

Hot sunset seen from Ulleungdo The sun melts into the sea
#ThailandFlightEvent
The end of the day in Ulleungdo,
The moment the sun slowly sets into the sea under the red sky
The scene was literally breathtakingly beautiful
The sunset seen from the high hill observatory
It was as if the intense and hot sun was setting down toward the sea
It seemed to burn the day of Ulleungdo
The sky was red and the sea was orange
I was proud to see this scene in South Korea
I took dozens of pictures,
But the emotion I felt when I saw it in person can never be captured in pictures
Ulleungdo is beautiful during the day,
But Ulleungdo at sunset is truly a work of art
Location: Ulleungdo Sunset Viewpoint, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea
Recommended time: Arrive 1 hour before sunset and take your time
South Korea is the best, Ulleungdo's sun is the best.
You really have to go there to know.

A Relaxing Day at Ulleungdo: Enjoying the Ocean View from the Observatory and Leisure Time at Cafe Ulla
A day in Ulleungdo began with the breathtaking beauty of nature. From the Samseonam Rocks Observatory, the ocean view was indescribably deep and blue. The three towering rock formations of Samseonam are one of Ulleungdo's iconic scenic spots, and the surrounding ocean landscape was truly awe-inspiring.
Carrying the emotions from the observatory, I headed to 'Cafe Ulla,' located nearby. This cafe harmoniously blends into Ulleungdo's natural surroundings, offering a panoramic ocean view through its windows. The cafe's signature menu item, the 'Ulla Cube Latte,' stood out with its unique visual appeal and taste, providing a refreshing break from the journey.
As I wrapped up my time at Cafe Ulla, the tranquil moments spent in a space that complements Ulleungdo's nature became one of the highlights of the trip.
Location Information:
• Samseonam Rocks Observatory: Samseonam Rocks, Ulleung-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea
• Cafe Ulla: Cafe Ulla, Ulleung-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea

Ulleungdo is love
#ThailandFlightEvent Ulleungdo Travel – East Sea Emotions on a Cruise
I boarded a cruise from Hupo Port to Ulleungdo
Leaving the distant land behind and heading to the middle of the East Sea
The sea that unfolded before my eyes was much deeper and bluer than I had thought
The waves that seemed calm yet powerful,
The waves that sparkled in the sunlight, it was a work of art in itself
The moment I stood on the cruise and looked at the sea
I felt an incredible sense of liberation
And all the distracting thoughts in my head disappeared
It was a time when I could truly feel the charm of the East Sea, which is much prettier in real life than in pictures
About 3 and a half hours later, Ulleungdo
was more beautiful than I had expected,
And the fact that I arrived across the sea added meaning to the trip
The atmosphere was different from the mainland, and even the air was different
I didn't know that a trip on a boat could be this wonderful
Departure: Hupo Ferry Terminal, Uljin
Arrival: Dodong Port, Ulleungdo

Ulleungdo Sea + Dokdo Shrimp + Sunset, a travel story full of emotions
#ThailandFlightEvent
Ulleungdo is different from the sea
As soon as I arrived, what caught my eye was
the incredibly deep and dark blue sea
It was a real impression that could not be captured in a photo
I ate the famous Dokdo shrimp near Dodong Port
I was surprised by the sweet and chewy texture the moment I took a bite
I wondered if shrimp could be this sweet
I even scraped the crispy shell that was just fried
It is a food that you definitely have to eat when you come to Ulleungdo
And the real highlight is the sunset
The sunset seen from a cafe on a high hill
was literally crazy
The red sun slowly falling into the sea
I think I will never forget that scene
I took a lot of pictures, but the scenery engraved in my heart is clearer
Ulleungdo is not just a pretty island
It is an island that you remember with all five senses
A travel destination that you see with your eyes, enjoy with your mouth, and feel with your heart

From Ulleungdo to Dokdo, even though I couldn't set foot on the land
The highlight of my Ulleungdo trip was undoubtedly the 'Dokdo Tour.'
We departed early in the morning from Dodong Port and took a boat ride for about an hour and a half.
As we approached, the silhouette of Dokdo began to emerge beyond the horizon.
It was much larger and more majestic than I had imagined,
and just seeing it from afar was deeply moving.
Unfortunately, due to strong winds and waves, we couldn't land on Dokdo.
However, even just circling around it on the boat and taking in the view was meaningful enough.
It felt special to confirm with my own eyes that 'this land is undoubtedly part of Korea.'
On the way back to Ulleungdo, near Dodong Port,
I tried the famous barnacle kalguksu (knife-cut noodles).
The warm broth was infused with the essence of the sea,
and the chewy noodles paired perfectly with the tender barnacle meat.
It was a meal that warmed both my body and soul.
Although I couldn't physically step onto Dokdo,
the journey from Ulleungdo to Dokdo itself was an experience
that every Korean should have at least once in their lifetime.
Departure: Dodong Port, Ulleungdo

Cruise Trip to Ulleungdo
Setting sail from Hupo Ferry Terminal, the journey to Ulleungdo begins with growing excitement as the mainland fades into the distance. Arriving early in the morning at the terminal, travelers gradually gathered, and once aboard, the long voyage across the sea commenced.
The cruise interior was clean and the seats were comfortable. Stepping outside, the refreshing sea breeze greeted us, and the panoramic view of the East Sea was far more majestic and expansive than any photograph could capture. On the gently swaying ship, I found moments to nap, gaze blankly at the ocean, and experience a sense of relaxation that is impossible to find on land.
After about three and a half hours, the dock at Ulleungdo came into view. Towering cliffs and emerald waters welcomed us warmly, making the arrival feel truly special. Despite initial concerns about seasickness, the journey was far more pleasant than expected, and the adventure felt like it had already begun even before reaching Ulleungdo.
