The most things in Jeju Island

Jeju Island is often called 'Samdado' because of its abundance of women, rocks, and wind. Shall we find out why Jeju Island has so many women, rocks, and wind?

1. female

Jeju Island used to be a place where there were many women. According to the story of Jeju, in the old days, men from Jeju Island rode boats to the distant sea to catch fish, but many died from typhoons and dangerous waves, and few men returned.... That's why there are far more women than men in Jeju Island, and that's why Jeju Island has a lot of women!

2. stone

Did you see the topographical characteristics of Jeju Island introduced in Part 1? lol. Since it is an island formed from a volcano, Jeju Island is an island formed by lava cooling!. They say that basalt is everywhere!

3. wind

The geographical influence of Jeju Island is great. Due to its location, it is the first place to encounter a typhoon, and it is windy because it is in the area of ​​influence of the Okhotsk Sea air mass and the North Pacific air mass. Also, there are not many tall buildings in Jeju Island, and there are no forests or tall trees on the seaside to block the wind, so there is a lot of wind in Jeju.

Aside from women, stones, and wind, Jeju is also famous for its many tangerines, right? Have you all tried Jeju tangerines? In addition to Dolhareubang, Tangerine Island is one of the icons of Jeju Island!. What are the differences between tangerines from Jeju Island and those from other regions?
