Situated in a most ideal setting, just 64 kilometers
south of the Korean Peninsula is Korea's largest island,
Jeju. Jeju is a magical place known for 3 things: roaring
winds, magnificent rocks, and women. As one of the host
cities of the 2002 Korea/Japan FIFA World Cup, Jeju¡¯s
Seogwipo City made for a most enchanting environment.
Jeju is a focal point of international affairs and is
able to offer people many kinds of recreation with breathtaking
vistas, a temperate climate and a unique traditional culture.
Jeju offers unbelievably breathtaking views from coast
to coast, ranging from the waterfalls at Hae-anjidae to
the naturally sculpted cliffs at Jusang Jeolli. Tourists
can enjoy each season in Jeju with a particular splash
of color; brilliant yellow-colored flowers in the spring
that spread across the landscape, the golden beaches and
sea vistas in the summertime, the Eulalia¡¯s light brown
wispy reeds flowing in the autumn winds, and the lovely
snow flowers of Hallasan in winter are all must-sees of
Jeju.
One can enjoy these wonderments by hiking, bike riding,
paragliding, scuba diving, windsurfing, hunting, horseback
riding, swimming in the ocean, and sightseeing boat trips.
Jeju also has a wide variety of native foods, such as
the delicious Jeju tangerines and native dishes including:
redtile fish stew, grilled redtile fish with seasoning,
rice porridge with abalone, pheasant dishes and hair-tail
fish soup.
Food in Jeju
Foods from Jeju are mainly made with saltwater fish, vegetables,
and seaweed, and are usually seasoned with soybean paste.
Salt water fish is used to make soups and gruels, and
pork and chicken are used to make pyeonyuk (sliced boiled
meat). The number of dishes set on a table is small and
few seasoings are used. Usually, small numbers of ingredients
are required to make dishes native to Jeju.
