Jeju Island in South Korea The Fantastic Place for Vaction

mnn.com: Jeju Island is not on many Western tourists’ radar. This speck of land off the southern coast of South Korea is hugely popular amongst domestic tourists and is the honeymoon destination of choice for Korean newlyweds. Large parts of Jeju remain stunningly natural, with windswept coastlines, green forests, waterfalls and volcanic mountains creating an almost-perfect atmosphere for nature viewing. Hiking and bicycling are as popular among Jeju’s visitors as beach-going and theme-park visiting.

To East Asian tourists, Jeju is probably best known for its whimsical (sometimes bizarre) themed attractions. These sites range from Jeju Loveland, a sex-themed garden with explicit statues and phallic sculptures, to the Teddy Bear Museum, which includes a wide array of indoor and outdoor exhibits featuring the globally popular stuffed animals. Jeju’s other buzzed-about attraction is its annual fire festival, which draws curious tourists and culture aficionados from around Asia and the world.

With locally sourced food widely available and public buses and bicycles the most convenient forms of transport, this Korean paradise would be an interesting and exotic addition to anyone’s East Asian eco-tourism itinerary. Despite its exotic aura, the island is quite accessible to Western tourists. There is even an English language magazine called Jeju Life that gives would-be visitors the lowdown on goings-on on the island.
