Recognized as the
best-preserved area in the nation, Jeju-do is Korea's only island
province. The island is Korea's most popular honeymoon destination.
Known as "Little Hawaii" for its volcanic landscape, picturesque
subtropical scenery, sandy beaches, waterfalls and hiking trails,
it is one of the world's great tourist attractions with over four
million visitors a year. Jeju-do enjoys a semitropical climate,
with its plants and landscape being remarkably different from those
of the mainland. Lava flows from this volcano (last active in 1007)
created many tunnels, pillars and other unusual features formed
by the quickly-cooled basalt. Favorite destinations include the
Jeju Folkcraft and Natural History Museum,
Jungmun Resort and Jeju
Fantasy Gardens.
