The most romantic destinations in Jeju, Korea

Each Asian country has its own must-visit off-shore island, Singapore has Sentosa, Thailand has Phuket, and Indonesia has Bali. For South Korea, the top island destination is undoubtedly the picturesque Jeju Island.

Manjanggul Cave

Manjanggul Cave is one of the top ten lava tubes to visit that was formed about 200,000-300,000 years ago. It is one of 7 Geomunoreum lava tubes of Jeju Island and located in the North East area. These lava tunnels have a unique and interesting shape, and the whole cave complex is 13,422 metres, making it one of the largest of its type in the world. The cave is softly lit and filled with rock pillars and stalactites.

Seongsan Ilchulbong

Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak rose from the sea in a series of volcanic eruptions beginning over 100,000 years ago. The site resembles an old fortress on a coastal cliff and is originally a volcanic island but is later connected as sand and gravel accumulated in between. The sunrise from the peak is considered as one of the most fascinated views in Jeju.

O’Sulloc Museum

Korea is famous for tea culture. ‘O’ in O’Sulloc means to appreciate and enjoy, while ‘Sulloc’ refers to a type of green tea. The museum takes the shape of a tea cup, and is separated into at least 6 different exhibitions. Here, you can view the different types of tea cups of Korea and around the world and spruce up your knowledge of tea history. Moreover, you can learn how to categorise tea leaves based on various factors, and especially, enjoy a hot cup of tea by the lotus pond in the indoorgarden, or on the observatory deck, where you can look out into the expanse of greentea fields in the near distance.

Woljeongri Beach

One of Jeju’s main attractions is the clear, emerald-blue sea which laps round its shores. This is set off to great effect by Woljeongri Beach’s white sands and surrounding landscape, making the beach a perfect spot for walks along the waterfront. Woljeongri is also surrounded by a number of very good cafes.

Jusangjeolli Cliffs

Jusangjeolli Cliffs refer to the set of blackish, rock pillars of rectangular or hexagonal shapes on the east coast of Jungmun Tourist Resort. As if carved by stonemasons, the pillars are evidence of nature’s awesome power. They commonly expressed as vertical columnar jointing, the formations are created via sudden cooling of lava that shrinks in mass. The sight of waves crashing against the columns is both serene and beautiful.
