Jeju Island has been designated by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organizations as a world natural heritage site. Every year, about 130 million tourists visited Jeju Island. Last week, I also traveled to Jeju Island for three days and was surprised because the island looked very similar with my expectation. Jeju Island has a beautiful natural landscape, provides various and exciting activities – taking a submarine and riding a horse. After this journey, I totally understand why millions of people visit Jeju Island as a vacation.

I also visited and experienced various programs. Among my experiences, taking a submarine was the most impressive. At the second day of my trip, I took a submarine for the first time. My family reserved the submarine program and wrote the consent forms for our safety. After few minute, following the crew, we got on a big ferry not a submarine. I was surprised that I thought I took the wrong one because, before boarding, I did not know that passengers transfer to submarine from ferry on the ocean. I transferred to submarine successfully at near the little uninhabited island. The submarine submerged slowly under the water until depth of water reached 40 meters. It was darker under the water than the outside of ocean. Because of the darkness I was scared, but the beautiful site which consists of small fish and coral reef relieve my mind. The most beautiful site was wrecked ship. Although it completely rust, looked gloomy even looked like a house for ghosts, it became house for tens of fish and other ocean lives perfectly.

However, there are few exercises – expensive, rare and difficult - which I really want to experiences. One of them is riding a horse. To ride a horse is too expensive and rare to do it in everyday life. Before the trip, riding a horse in Jeju Island is the priority plan during the trip. At the first day of the trip, my family visited the largest horse farm in Korea to participate in horse riding course. This farm has over 30 million square meters. My family and I applied 30 minutes course which people can look around the Hallasan Mountain and beaches. At first, I was scared because the seat was moving. But after 5 minutes I gained confidence, rode the horse and run without manager. Thought the weather was cloudy and the view was not clear, riding a horse was wonderful experience. If I have a chance to learn riding a horse, I would learn it diligently. The only one flaw was back pain which often arise to beginners. The experience of riding horse, the feeling of horse’s hair and the view of the farm will not be forgotten
