Jeju Island
 
 
Jeju-Nature’s paradise in the north pacific

An Eden of recreation and leisure
Jeju Island is a world-class island-resort situated off the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula where the North Pacific Ocean meets the Yellow Sea. Gifted with a mild subtropical climate, this scenic island is uniquely blessed by nature. Its gentle-tempered, friendly people heartily welcome you at every turn.


A world-acclaimed attraction, and a favorite of domestic guests
The eruption of Mt. Halla that took place approximately 25 thousand years ago created the crater lake, Baekrok-dam, at the summit of the mountain. Mt. Halla rises at the center of Jeju island, 1,950 m above sea level. The rest of the island slopes down from its summit and is covered with dark gray volcanic rocks and volcanic ash soil.


An "International Free City" looking brightly into the future
Jeju Island has been officially designated as “International Free City” where the exchange of human and material resources and culture is given extensive freedom, and provided veritable wings to this island. It is situated in its unparalleled geopolitical location at the center of Northeast Asia, and endowed with bountiful natural environment and tourist resource assets. With this exceptional potential, supported by a solid infrastructure, Jeju Island is well endowed to accept the challenge as a nucleus of tourism and logistics for the Northeast Asian and Pacific region in the 21st century.
