Jeju Island in Korea is a world-class tourist city visited by more than 10 million tourists every year. In particular, the entire island is called a 'volcano museum' and a 'living ecological park' due to its unique and diverse natural landscapes. Its value has been recognized by UNESCO as a triple crown winner, starting with the designation of a 'Biosphere Reserve' in 2002, listing as a 'World Natural Heritage Site' in 2007, and certification as a 'World Geopark' in 2010. Hallasan Mountain, located in the center of Jeju Island, offers a variety of volcanic terrains, including the Baekrokdam crater at the top, and you can also see diverse plants because the temperature difference is large depending on the altitude. Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak, located at the eastern end of Jeju, is a hydrovolcanic body created when magma erupted underwater, and its castle-like appearance standing tall in the middle of the blue sea is breathtaking. In addition, the emerald sea of ‘Hyeopjae Beach’, the spectacular waves crashing between hexagonal stone pillars of ‘Columnar Joints’, and the sandstone cliffs of ‘Yongmeori Coast’ are also considered natural landscapes that can only be seen in Jeju Island. To enjoy a convenient trip to Jeju Island, we recommend using a rental car. Jeju Island is the largest island in Korea, with an area of approximately 1,848㎢, which is three times the size of Seoul. Since tourist attractions are widely distributed throughout the island, renting a car is efficient if you want to visit each tourist attraction to your liking. Anyone, even foreigners, can rent and drive a rental car in Jeju Island as long as they meet the qualification requirements.
