In ancient times, far from the land, an independent country named "Miluo (Rhoda)" was established, thus retaining the unique customs, dialects and culture of the island. In this way, you can get in touch with different scenery in other places.

Jeju Island accounts for 1.84% of the total area of Korea, with a population of more than 500,000. Jeju Island, an island with mysterious natural landscape and the beauty of traditional culture, has hosted the summit of Korea, Japan and South Korea, and is an international tourist destination for holding important international conferences such as summits. The landform of Jeju Island is very strange, and there is magma everywhere. At that time, where lava flowed, strange caves and stone pillars were formed, showing unique charm. As time goes by, Jeju Island has been dressed in green. The trees in the rocks are tall and straight, the grass in the soil is lush, and the waterfall is like a milky way, which casts a mysterious color on Jeju Island.

Since ancient times, it has been said that there are "three treasures" on this island. There are many winds, stones and fruit trees, and the three treasures refer to seafood, plants and dialects.
