So great! I love the TR and pictures.
I’m surprised about bulgogi with water! I prefer it with rice or alone.
I love korean food so much - we have very good korean so I’m less desperate to try it in korea.
I forgot that Jeju has a casino so I’ve been watching poker tv show by Triton Poker (Macau) that takes place at a casino in Jeju! Very fun to reconcile your Jeju with the poker fun.

DAY 4
It was our final day in Jeju. After breakfast, we packed our belongings and returned our room key at the reception for a group check-out. Then we met with another tour participants who stayed in the hotel next door and boarded our bus.
Spotted the grandeur Mount Hallasan from our bus.
The first attraction that we visited on our last day was "Jeju Folklore & Natural History Museum".
Garden at the museum.
Folklore & Natural History Museum, Jeju Island.
The museum provides visitors many interesting info of Jeju Island ranging from its history, wildlife and to the lifestyle, culture and tradition of the local people.
Some fossils, minerals and rocks found in the island thousand years ago.
Types of animals inhabited the island.
The customs and traditions of the locals.
There is also an outdoor exhibition as well.
From museum, the bus taken us to "Dongmun Traditional Market".
The Dongmun Traditional Market is the largest and oldest permanent market in the island where you can find various local goods and products.
Jeju Tangerines.
Chocolates, Candies, Crackers and other local snacks.
Live seafood.
Dried seafood.
You can even buy kitchenware and cooking utensils here.
There are also stalls selling local street foods and snacks in the market. We sampled the "Hotteok" (a Korean pancake with sweet filling such as Brown Sugar & Peanuts) and "Odeng" (Korean Fish Cake in a hot broth).
Odeng with its salty and spicy dipping sauce.
After the Dongmun Traditional Market, we were taken into another modern-looking store to shop gifts and souvenirs of Jeju Island for the very last time before we were sent to the airport for departure.
The return flight from Jeju to Kuala Lumpur will be covered in the next trip report. In the meantime, feel free to read my previous trip reports if you havent done so:
To The Paradise With Malindo Air
Discover Port Dickson-The Army Town of Malaysia
Discover Penang-The Pearl of the Orient
Discover Lumut-The Navy Town of Malaysia
A Year-End Family Trip to Krabi with Air Asia

Nice TR.
This sort of package is not for me, but when I was 10 years old my parents and I went to Jeju on almost exactly the same tour as you, though our starting point was Hong Kong. I'm pretty sure we did the same things in the same order, and even ate at the same restaurants including that Indian one.
I have been wondering about that road for many years as I couldn't understand why the guide said the bus was rolling uphill. It seemed that we were just moving forward from momentum, because the driver didn't stop the bus fully before turning off the engine. Thanks for reminding me about it and Google has all the answers now.
I still can't see how it appears to be uphill from other people's photos, but apparently there are many optical illusion hills like this all around the world so I'll try going to another one...

Thanks.
The road was not mysterious at all once we found out the reason behind it.
