I'm going to introduce the Southwest part of Jeju.
Places I visited in the southwest of Jeju were Moseul-phohang (Moseul harbor and port), Andeok-gyegok (Andeok valley), and world automobile Jeju museum.
Moseul-phohang 모슬포항
Moseul-phohang is located in the southwest of Jeju, and it's 42km away from Jeju international airport by car.
You can take an intercity bus for "Seo-ilju" route or "Pyenghwaro" route to get here from Jeju city.

Actually, the reason why I visited Moseul-phohang was to taste mackerel sashimi. Moseul-phohang is famous for its delicious mackerel dishes.
The restaurant I visited was Manseon restaurant which is known for its mackerel sashimi.
Walk through Moseul-phohang, Manseon restaurant is located at the seaside.

The main dish here is mackerel sashimi. The small size costs 40,000won and it's good for two persons.

It's mackerel sashimi in the picture above. They serve rice with sesame and sesame oil, side dishes, sauce with onions and chives, seaweed, abalone, and spicy fish cake soup.

Abalone is alive and if you like abalone sashimi, you can eat it without repulsion. If you are unfamiliar with separating it from its shell when it's alive, you may ask the restaurant employee to separate it or boil it.

It's mackerel sashimi. It looks delicious to the point that I want to eat it again by just looking at this picture.

Get a seaweed with mackerel sashimi, and put the sauce, and depending on your preference, you can put red pepper or ssamjang. It's more delicious when you eat it with seaweed rather than eating mackerel sashimi itself only.
If you like sashimi, I suggest you try mackerel sashimi.
Andeok valley 안덕계곡
Next place I visited was Andeok valley.
Andeok valley is 12km away from Moseul-phohang. It has a beautiful scenery and rugged precipice with rocks of fantastic shape.
Recently, it became famous for filming place of "Gugawei Seo" which is a Korean drama casted by Lee Seung Gi and Bae Su Ji.

From Moseul-phohang, ride intercity bus for "Seoilju" route and when you get down, you can see the sign going to Andeok valley.

When you go inside of the valley, you can see the beautiful scenery with lots of rocks.

The amount of water in the valley depends on how much rain fell on that day, but normally, there is not that much water.

The environment around the valley with the lights and rocks is more beautiful than what you see in the picture.

The amount of water is not that much, but it has clean and cold water so it's good for trips during summer.

If you have much time, it would be a good experience to do tracking.
World Automobile Jeju Museum 세계자동차박물관
The next place I visited was world automobile Jeju museum.
World automobile Jeju museum is 4km away from Andeok valley. It's relatively near, but I don't suggest you walk to get there because it's an uphill road.

I walked going there, but it resulted into regrets.

This museum is literally about history of cars and display of famous cars per its period.
Ticket price is at 8,000won. It might be a little bit expensive, but if you love cars, it's good to visit.

I wanted to have one.

It's DeLorean from the movie "Back to the Future." Well, that mannequin inside the car was kinda weird though.

You can also take a look at the history of domestic cars including Si-Bal car.

Of course, I like this car better.
Moreover, at the end of the museum, there's something waiting for you.

Right! They sell car models.
Fortunately, it was easy for me to give up buying because they sell high-price products.
