Cheju island Travel Guide

If you are in Korea for your honeymoon, Cheju is where you should be heading for. Cheju island (Chejudo) known as a place of fantasy or mystery is the largest island in Korea and is located in the southwest sea of the Korean peninsula and is highlighted for its uniqueness. This large island 60 mi/100 km off the coast of the mainland has a unique history dress architecture language and tradition. Millions of dollars have been pumped into the island to build deluxe hotels and modernize the island’s infrastructure.

Nevertheless the island has not lost its charm. Chenju seems a world away from the mainland even though it’s relatively easy to reach—it’s an hour’s flight south of Seoul or an overnight ferry ride from Pusan, Mokpo or Wando. The island itself has a good traffic infrastructure thanks to the many roads. The population of the island is about 535,000. A major highlight is Halla mountain, which was a volcano once rising 1,950 metres above the sea level.
