The bus that go to these islands are come once an hour, so I was not able to get off from the bus often to take the pictures.  I only got off from the bus in two locations.

The first area that I got off was where there were many shops and stores.  The picture shows the street where I got off, and it was the largest shopping area on all four islands.

But the main reason why I got off at this location was that I saw this ‘gaetbbeol,’ the massive mudflat in low tide.  I have not seen anything like this in the US.

In high tide time, this area will fill with ocean water.

The mud was soft, but I was able to walk on it.

The rest of the bus ride provided nothing unusual about the islands.  It had a similar landscape to the bus ride on the mainland.

I got off at the last bus stop and took a few pictures.
