South Korea’s No. A large island located in the southwest waters of the Korean Peninsula, in the center of the Far East, more than 90 kilometers away from the southern coast of South Korea in the north, and across the sea from Japan's Kyushu Island in the east. It straddles the gateway to the Korean Strait. Its geographical location is extremely important. Jeju Road is an elliptical shape long from east to west, with a straight coast and a volcanic island. Hallasan Mountain (1,950 meters), the highest peak, is located in the center of the island. There is Baekrok Pond, a crater lake, and there are many waterfalls on the island. Due to the passage of the Jeju Warm Current, it has a temperate maritime climate. The annual average temperature is 14.7℃, and the winter temperature is 4.7℃. The annual precipitation is about 1,300 mm in the north and 1,600-1,800 mm in the south. The vertical distribution of plants is obvious. The main crops are wheat, potatoes, miscellaneous grains, pyrethrum, citrus, etc. Pigs, cattle, chickens, etc. are raised in the east. The aquaculture industry is developed. The industry is mainly based on agriculture, water and livestock processing. There is a ring road. There are regular routes with Busan and Mokpo. Jeju City is on the north coast of the island and is the political and economic center. The diversion route is 73km from East to West Chang, 41km wide from north to south, and is oval in shape. On this island with an area of ??1,845 square kilometers, stands Mount Halla, the highest mountain in South Korea at an altitude of 1,950 meters. This volcanic cone left by the volcanic eruption in 1007 makes Jeju Island particularly majestic. Since there was an independent country called "Danluo Kingdom" in ancient times, it was far away from the land, so it retained the island's unique customs, dialects, culture, etc. This gives you access to a landscape that is different from other places.
