Jeju Island, a picturesque gem located off the southern coast of South Korea, is renowned for its stunning natural beauty. This volcanic island is home to the magnificent Hallasan Mountain, a dormant volcano and South Korea's highest peak. It boasts a range of unique geological attractions like lava tubes and volcanic craters, earning it the nickname "Island of the Gods". Jeju Island is also famous for its pristine white beaches, tranquil waterfalls, vibrant coral reefs, and lush green tea gardens. Enriched by diverse culture, the island is known for its traditional women divers, called "Haenyeo", and the 'Tamna' culture, offering a unique experience to its visitors. This UNESCO World Heritage site, with its idyllic landscapes and rich heritage, makes it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking a serene getaway.

This dynamic country is famous for its sprawling mega-city, Seoul, a bustling metropolis blending skyscrapers, high-tech subways, poignant royal palaces, serene Buddhist temples, vibrant night markets, and the iconic N Seoul Tower. Outside the urban landscapes, South Korea unfolds in a canvas of serene countryside dotted with cherry trees, tranquil rice fields, traditional thatch-roofed houses, and remote Buddhist monasteries, as well as subtropical islands and hiker-friendly mountains. Integral elements of South Korea's appeal include its rich history, the enticing Korean cuisine featuring famed dishes like kimchi and bibimbap, and the global cultural phenomenon known as the Korean Wave, which encompasses K-pop music, K-drama, and cinema.

Jeju was beautiful! I stayed for 6 days and it was defi2noz enough to see it all. Beware of the heat in summer though. It's really difficult to go Sightseeing without a car in summer.
There's lots of waterfalls and beautiful scenery. Trails for hiking, delicious sea food and friendly people. I felt safe traveling alone.

An amazing place with gorgeous sightseeing of sea, mountain and cliffs.
Kind people, cool air
But it’s a little bit hard for you if you can’t speak Korean 
Bus is so convenient that you can reach almost everywhere, however, I still recommend you to rent a car, especially you wanna live in seogwipo-si, a less modern place rather than jeju-si, but it’s a better choice if you wanna experience local life in a village.
