International Travel Map – Jeju Island, South Korea

International Travel Map – Jeju Island, South KoreaToday, let's learn about Jeju Island in South Korea.

Jeju Island, also known as Jeju-do is the only self-governing province in South Korea. This means that local natives instead of those from the mainland run the province.
 	The island has three UNESCO World Heritage sites and a moderate (pleasant)climate.

Famous for its pristine (clean) nature and beautiful beaches, many local and international tourists visit Jeju Island. It is sometimes called "South Korea’s Hawaii" because so many tourists come throughout the year!

Tourists can cycle around the beautiful island, go hiking, eat abalone (a type of seafood) and see many beautiful sights.

Jeju Island is also famous for its divers called Haenyeo. They dive deep into the sea to collect oysters, abalone, etc and consist only of women.

Indian tourists do not need a visa to visit Jeju-do. Other tourists from many other countries, like China, also do not require a visa. However, all tourists need a visa to visit the rest of South Korea.

Unfortunately, due to excessive tourism, the beaches have become quite polluted and the South Korean government is working to keep the island clean.
