Jeju Island: Volcanoes, Orange Sea, and Slow Island

Jeju Island is Korea's vacation backyard. Four days and three nights, enjoy a slow island softened by the sea breeze between volcanoes, the Sea of Oranges, and the coast.

Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak, a volcanic crater city, is a must-do for Jeju to watch the sunrise from the summit. The green volcanic crater is bowl-shaped, with seawater foaming beneath your feet, making it a UNESCO Natural Heritage site for its beauty.

Taking a boat to Niudao and riding an electric bike around the island is the most pleasant. Peanut ice cream, seaside cafés, and filming locations for "Untouchable Lovers" take slow-paced life to the extreme.

The land is supportable, with volcanic rock capes and rapeseed fields (spring) in the same frame, and a white lighthouse standing on the cliff. The wind is strong, but the sea view is worth blowing your hair down.

The mountains are covered with citrus fields, and in autumn and winter, the oranges are abundant. Stay at a hanok guesthouse, soak in hot springs, eat black pork and seafood hot pot—Jeju people's hospitality is all served in the pot.

Jeju's softness is turning volcanoes into vacations. When you ride to the seaside on Udo Island and stop to watch the waves, you'll understand why Koreans come here every time they get off.
