Jeju Island, also known
as the "Island of the Gods," is a popular vacation spot for Koreans and many Japanese. It
remains one of the top honeymoon destinations for Korean newlyweds. The island's mixture
of volcanic rock, frequent rains, and temperate climate, make it very similar to the Hawaiian
Islands in the U.S. The island offers visitors a wide range of activities: hiking on Halla-san
(South Korea's highest peak), catching sunrises and sunsets over the ocean, viewing
majestic waterfalls, riding horses, or just lying around on the sandy beaches. Although
tourism is one of the main industries on the island, many of the hotels and other tourist areas
are run by mainland companies, so much of the income never gets put back into the local
economy. Also, since the attractions are geared towards tourists, many of the entrance fees
can be hefty (although the locally owned and operated ones tend to be cheaper). Similar to
Gyeongju and some other areas, local residents can enter most places for free or for a
steeply discounted price.
