Jeju Island, known as "Jeju-do" in Korean, is the largest island off the coast of the Korean Peninsula, renowned for its unique natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and mild, temperate climate. Often referred to as the "Island of the Gods," Jeju is a popular tourist destination both for domestic and international travelers.
Geography and Climate
Jeju Island is located in the Korea Strait, southwest of South Jeolla Province. The island is of volcanic origin, dominated by Hallasan, a dormant volcano and the highest mountain in South Korea, which rises 1,947 meters above sea level. The island's landscape features stunning volcanic formations, lush forests, waterfalls, and beautiful beaches. The climate is mild year-round, with cooler winters and warm, humid summers, making it an ideal destination for visitors seeking both adventure and relaxation.
Cultural Significance
Jeju is rich in cultural heritage, with a history that includes its own distinct language and traditions. The island is home to many ancient myths and legends, which are reflected in its cultural festivals, local customs, and numerous historical sites. One of the island's unique features is the "haenyeo," or "sea women," who are renowned for their freediving skills and their role in Jeju's cultural identity.
Tourist Attractions
Jeju offers a variety of attractions that cater to different interests. Some of the most popular sites include:
Hallasan National Park: A UNESCO World Heritage site, perfect for hiking and exploring the diverse flora and fauna.
Seongsan Ilchulbong: Also known as Sunrise Peak, this tuff cone crater is famous for its breathtaking sunrise views.
Manjanggul Cave: One of the longest lava tubes in the world, offering a unique underground adventure.
Jeju Loveland: An outdoor sculpture park dedicated to themes of sensuality and eroticism, providing a quirky and unconventional tourist experience.
Beaches: Hyeopjae and Hamdeok are among the most beautiful, offering clear blue waters and white sandy shores.
Cuisine
Jeju's cuisine is another highlight, featuring fresh seafood, distinctive local dishes such as "black pork" and "jeonbokjuk" (abalone porridge), and traditional Korean fare with a Jeju twist. The island's markets and restaurants offer a culinary journey that complements the natural and cultural experience of Jeju.
