Jeju Island is the largest island in South Korea and falls under the jurisdiction of Jeju Special Self-Governing Province. It covers an area of nearly two thousand square kilometers and has a population of over one million, mostly concentrated in Jeju City.
As a typical volcanic island, Jeju enjoys a warm climate and beautiful scenery. Its volcanic landforms and lava tubes have been designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, and it is also recognized as one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature.
Jeju Island not only combines unique island scenery with the preserved folkloric culture of the ancient Tamna Kingdom, but it is also known as the "Hawaii of South Korea." The island's tourism and marine industries play a pivotal role in the country's economy.
