Hallam Park

This place is a botanical gardens that is located in Jeju Island. In addition to a large variety of trees, there is also a bonsai sculptural garden, a zoo, and a cave. The cave is one of the natural monuments in Korea, Ssaanyong Cave (this is the actual spelling when translated in English).

The entrance to Hallam Park.

 Considering the lack of lighting in this cave, I was able to get a decent shot.

This sculpture is obviously not part of the cave, but looks pretty cool for sure.

Here's a short video of us walking inside the cave.

Some animal plant sculptures - The dinosaur ones looked the best.

Views of Namhae

Here are some pictures of the beautiful landscape at the second area we stayed at Namhae Island. I made sure to take most of my pictures during the sunny days.

During the low tide, we can walk almost all the way to the boating dock.

  

The tide can dramatically change on the same day hours. Here is a picture of the same area during the high tide.

 This was one of my favorite photos of my Namhae trip.

 Here is a view of the second boat dock. Notice how the path on the left does not connect to rest of the dock.

I was surprise that many people did not recommend Namhae Island as a nice vacation destination. Not that I was complaining since we were able to relax without having to fight through crowds of people!

Namhae Island Activities

 During the low tide, we can catch fish using our hands and a net.

 This was the first time I ever experienced kayaking.

 We went kayaking for about three hours. I was a little tired after that, but I had a wonderful time and the scenery was amazing.

This was probably the best group of people that I've ever traveled with. It was great that I ended up exchanging contact info with many of them after our trip.
