Jeju-do is the best place for traveling and touring in Korea. As the expression about this volcanic island, "the most beautiful island on the earth" indicates, Jeju-do has outstanding natural beauty and rich historical remains.

Sam-seong-hyeol is the origin of the myth that three gods came out of the earth and created Jeju. Remains from the Stone Age were found all over the island. There was an independent country on this island called "Tamra." In the Goryo dynasty, the name was changed to Jeju, and the island went under rule of the central government. In the Joseon dynasty, the island was famous for tangerines, horses, and other exotic goods.

Jeju has volcanoes and special soil, and is best for tourism due to the mild climate, tropical plants, and its unique culture. As transportation to the island is very convenient, it became popular as an international tourist destination.
