Which Korean City Should You Visit?
Korean city personality
Jeju
제주 Jeju
Slow wind, black stone, blue water.
Jeju (제주) is Korea's volcanic island, with black basalt walls, tangerine orchards, lava tubes and a mountain at its center. As a personality, it's calm, independent and happiest with the horizon in view.
It's you if…
- You recharge outdoors, preferably near water.
- You'd rather rent a car and get lost than follow a tour.
- Your plans change with the weather, and you're fine with that.
The surprise
Jeju people are tougher than they seem. The island calm comes with a lot of grit — just ask anyone who's walked into its wind.
