The planet Earth hides many
wonderful places in
which s human hand has barely left its mark. In
our usual tour of the highlights of the blogosphere, proposing today to visit
one of these beautiful places, Jeju Island, from the hand of the blog "Photiza" .
This small
volcanic island, located south of the Korean Peninsula and belonging to South
Korea is considered one of the world's greatest natural paradises, taking into
possession the "triple crown" of Unesco, having been declared Natural
Heritage Humanity Global Geopark and Biosphere Reserve.
In addition, in
2011 the island of Jeju was chosen as one of the new seven natural wonders of
the world, known as enclaves with com or Amazon or Iguazu Falls.
Jeju's landscape
is dominated by hundreds of craters known as "oreum" result of
volcanic eruptions that formed the island. Its
highest peak is Mount Halla, which reaches 1,950 meters above sea level.
Besides having
beautiful beaches with crystal clear waters and breathtaking cliffs, the island
abounds in volcanic pipes, some of which have been open to the public and
ensure a visit full of spectacular images.
Mount Sanbang on
the southwest coast, surrounded by legends and Buddhist temples, is another of
the must. Besides these natural
charms, the island offers other attractions such as the iconic stone statues
Hareubang Dol, recognizable by their mushroom, Loveland
Park, dedicated to the
erotic sculpture or a museum dedicated to teddy bears.
With these
incentives, it is only a matter of time that Jeju will become a global tourist
attraction.
