Jeju

Jeju is a semi-tropical island found just off the coast of the southernmost point of South Korea’s mainland. It is the country’s largest island and is also home to the country’s tallest mountain, Hallasan, which is ideal for hiking and taking in views of the natural surroundings. At the top of the mountain is the crater of an extinct volcano, while the area is full of ‘lava tubes’, the rock formations left by receding lava from ancient eruptions. The Cheonjiyeon waterfall is another natural attraction, plus there are also plenty of beautiful and quiet beaches for those looking to simply relax.
