Jeju Island always in Korean Dramas.So, I will tell you about Jeju Island!Jejudo or Jeju Island is the biggest island in South Korea. The island lies in Korea Strait, southwest of South Jeolla Province. The island was formed about 2 million years ago by volcano activity. Jeju island has a nickname, the island of no three kinds, and many three kinds. This means it was originally labeled the island of triple abundance: Wind, stones, and women, added to its reputation the fact it doesn't have beggars, thieves, or locked gates. Many places in Jeju Island can make you interest. The interesting places in Jeju Island like Manjaggul Lava Tube, Seongsan Ilchulbong or "Sunrise Peak", a volcanic tuff cone and crater, Mount Hallasan, Jeju Teddy Bear Museum, Cheonjeyeon Waterfalls and Jeju Loveland.
Mount Hallasan.

Hallasan is a shield volcano on Jeju Island of South Korea. Hallasan is the highest mountain in South Korea. 

Cheonjeyeon Waterfalls.

Cheonjeyeon Waterfall is a three-tier waterfall located on Jeju Island. Cold water flows out of the ceiling of a cave to make the waterfall. Between the precipice of the waterfall and the lower clay layer, water springs out. In first cascade, the cliff is 22 m (72 ft) high and the water falls into Cheonjeyeon pond which is 21 m (69 ft) deep. From there, the water goes to the second waterfall and falls 30 m (98 ft) and continues to the third waterfall. Eventually, the water reaches the ocean. Cheonjeyeon means Pond of the Emperor of Heaven.

Teddy Bear Museum.

The Teddy Bear Museum lives up to its name, boasting quite an impressive variety of stuffed bears that have been loved for more than a hundred years the world over. Inside the two galleries you can view teddy bears from various countries. You can also enjoy yourself at the museum shop, café, restaurant or the outdoor park offering views of the spectacular Jungmun Sea.

The gallery is grouped into three sections: the History Hall, the Art Hall and the Project Exhibition Hall. In the History Hall, you can witness the 100-year history of teddy bears including famous scenes, popular teddy bears of different eras, and antique teddy bears. The Mona Lisa teddy bear and the teddy bears of “The Last Supper” (Leonardo Da Vinci) will especially catch your eyes. The Art Hall features the latest artwork of world famous designers, and you will also find animation characters beloved by children.

Manjanggul Lava Tube.

Manjanggul Cave is one of the finest lava tunnels in the world, and is a designated natural monument. A lava tunnel is formed when the lava that was deep in the ground spouts from the peak and flows to the surface. Manjanggul Cave has a variety of interesting structures inside including 70cm lava stalagmites and the lava tube tunnels.

Only 1km of the 13,422m Manjanggul Cave is open to tourists. The inside of the tunnel sustains a temperature of 11~21℃, creating a comfortable atmosphere. There are rare animals such as bats living in the tunnel, which makes this tunnel valuable for researchers as well. The stone pillars and stalactites are widely spread and the tunnels shows off the cave’s topographical features. "Stone Turtle" is especially eye-catching because it is shaped like Jeju-do Island.
