With its beautiful landscape and relaxed demeanor, Jeju Island is South Korea’s most popular holiday destination and sees millions of tourists from neighbouring countries too.
There are also some great activities to do while you’re enjoying your vacation. If you enjoy working up a sweat and being greeted with the great reward of knowing that you’ve climbed the highest peak in all of South Korea, then a hike up Halla-san is a must!
Jeju Island also has its own ‘mermaids’, as has been carefully documented in famous documentaries and travel shows. These are the older women of the island community who fish for a living, and are as agile as ever, having done deep-sea diving for most of their lives! Make sure to spot them on the coast in their wetsuits and diving goggles.
Lovers of cute and strange things will absolutely adore the number of museums that the island has to offer. Visit the teddy bear museum, paper doll museum, and then end it off by walking through the very erotic LoveLand sculpture park.
