The Hawaii of Korea

By Linda Tancs

Hailed as the “Hawaii of Korea,” Jeju is Korea’s largest island, situated 64 kilometers or so south of the Korean Peninsula.  Like its sister in the U.S., it offers a temperate climate, breathtaking vistas, volcanoes and a traditional culture.  Unlike Hawaii, it does offer snow–sometimes lots of it.  All the better to enjoy the snow flowers of Mt. Halla, a must-see in winter.
