Seogwipo
Hallasan rises across central Jeju Island in Jeju-do, and its prominence above the volcanic plateau has made it the island’s defining landmark. At 1,947 metres, it is South Korea’s highest mountain. Baengnokdam, the basin within its summit crater, is enclosed by steep volcanic slopes and dark rock, while more than 360 parasitic cones are scattered across Hallasan National Park. The mountain is a shield volcano, built through successive lava flows rather than a single explosive event. Hallasan forms the core of the UNESCO-listed Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes property, inscribed in 2007. Its varied slopes support plant life across distinct altitude zones, underlining the mountain’s importance to Jeju’s ecology.

Seogwipo-si is best known within Jeju-do for Jeongbang Waterfall, which falls directly into the sea on Jeju Island’s southern coast. The city stretches beneath Hallasan, South Korea’s highest mountain, and its waterfront contrasts with the island’s volcanic interior. Seogwipo is also closely associated with the Jeju Olle Trail, a long-distance walking network launched in 2007 that follows coastal paths, villages and oreum, the island’s volcanic cones. Markets and restaurants make good use of Jeju seafood and citrus, while the port remains tied to the working coast.

Built around Jeju Island’s volcanic core, Jeju-do grew into South Korea’s largest island province. Hallasan, rising to 1,947 metres at the island’s centre, slopes down toward a coastline marked by basalt cliffs, small bays and beaches. Lava has shaped much of the terrain, and the island’s lava-tube system forms part of the UNESCO-listed Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes World Heritage site. The sea remains central to local life, especially in the traditions of the haenyeo, women divers who harvest seafood without breathing apparatus; their culture is on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list.

South Korea stretches from the mountainous border with North Korea to Jeju Island, encompassing forested ranges, fertile river basins and a deeply indented southern coast. The Taebaek Mountains run along much of the east, while the Han River crosses Seoul before reaching the Yellow Sea. Busan faces the Korea Strait, and tidal flats and islands shape the country’s western shore. Seoul combines dense contemporary districts with royal Joseon sites, including Gyeongbokgung Palace, first built in 1395. Kimchi and bibimbap are central to everyday cuisine, while the Korean alphabet, Hangeul, was created in the 15th century.
