Province of South Korea

Jeju province encompasses the South Korean island of Jeju in the Korea Strait. It’s known for its beach resorts and volcanic landscape of craters and cavelike lava tubes. Hallasan Mountain, a dormant volcano, features hiking trails, a crater lake at the 1,950m summit and nearby Gwaneumsa Temple. The Geomunoreum Lava Tube System includes 7km-long Manjanggul Cave, created centuries ago when Hallasan was still active.
The island is a honeymoon destination for South Koreans, thanks to its many beachside resorts and theme parks such as the infamous Loveland erotic sculpture park. Hyeopjae Beach offers shallow, turquoise waters; Hamdeok Beach is an expansive stretch of white sand; and Samyang Beach, near capital Jeju City, features black sands. Outdoor activities include hiking the Olle Trail, a series of coastal routes; surfing at Jungmun Beach; and scuba diving at sites such as Udo Island, off the east coast. The city of Seogwipo contains the 3-tier Cheonjeyeon Waterfall, while nearby Seongeup Folk Village showcases traditional island culture.
