Come out from mind, gain in set and achieve it in real life is a miracle. Happiness is the biggest thing that everyone wishing to have and grown for it. I have my dreams' place which is Korea. Korea have many interactive places that me as a tourists should know and will not miss out from visiting and enjoying the place very much. There is one special beach and very popular among all tourists especially for those who are Korea's drama seekers.

I am Korea's seekers,was to be when I was in secondary school but now I have not enough time to make it anymore because of lots of assignments that need me more. Haha.. Jeju Island is the best and the most beautiful island in Korea. Most of Korean drama have used this place as part of the screen shooting place for the drama. The place have it own taste and feeling when anyone have arrive there. With nice sightseeing and romantic moments can be create there. Romance place for those who has just married. It is very suit for honeymoon.

I have no experience with Korea so I really hope that one day that I will make it real and enjoy it for the whole on my trip soon. I also wish that I may go there with my future husband. Who that be? Me neither don't know who. :)

Jeju Province (officially the Jeju Special Autonomous Province), is one of the nine provinces of South Korea. The province is situated on and coterminous with the nation’s largest island of Jeju, formerly transliterated as Cheju, Cheju Do, etc., or known as Quelpart to Europeans. The island lies in the Korea Strait, southwest of South Jeolla Province, of which it was a part before it became a separate province in 1946. Its capital is Jeju City.

The island contains the natural World Heritage Site jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes. Jeju Island has a temperature climate and even in winter, the temperature rarely falls below freezing point.

Because of the relative isolation of the island, the people of Jeju have developed a culture ad language that are distinct from those of mainland Korea. Jeju is home to thousands of local legends. Perhaps the most distinct cultural artefact is the ubiquitous dol hareubang (“stone grandfather”) carved from a block of basalt.

Another distinct aspect of Jeju is the matriarchal family structure, found especially in Udo and Mara, but also present in the rest of the province. The best-known example of this is found among the haenyeo (“sea women”) , who were often the heads of families, because they controlled the income. They earned their living from free diving, often all year round in quite cold water, without scuba gear, in order to harvest abalones, conchs, and a myriad of other marine products. It is thought that women are better at spending all day deep-water diving because they resist cold better. However, because of rapid economic development and modernization, few haenyeo are still actively working today.

Tourism commands a large fraction of Jeju’s economy. Jeju’s temperature climate, natural scenery, and beaches make it a popular tourist destination for South Koreans as well as visitors from other parts of East Asia. The most popular tourist spots on the island are Cheonjeyeon and Cheonjiyeon waterfalls, Mount Halla, Hyeobje cave, and Hyeongje island. There is a variety of leisure sports that tourists can take part in Jeju including golf, horse riding, hunting, fishing, mountain climbing, etc. Depending on the season, Jeju hosts many festivals for tourists including a penguin swimming contest in winter, cherry blossom festival in spring, the midsummer night beach festival in summer, and Jeju horse festival in autumn, among others. Jeju International Airport and transport within the island by rental cars. Some local products are popular with tourists, including Jeju’s special tile fish and mandarin oranges, as well as souvenirs and duty-free shopping.
