As a tourist, you can relax on the beach, enjoy the clean water and have a good time. Very recommendable is Jungmun Beach, where the blue ocean and the marvelous beach with pale sand attracts many tourists. If you enjoy swimming and surfing, check out Gwakji, Hamdoek, and Emerald Bay. The theme park Loveland is very unique and, for most Westerners, really funny. The whole premises is dedicated to sex but in a very grotesque and exaggerated way that you cannot take it very seriously. If you like some little adventure, then the Manjang cave is your thing. The UNESCO Geopark is a more-than-eight-kilometre long cave formed by cooling lava. Take some suitable clothes with you, as it is usually wet and quite cold. Passionate hikers cannot miss the dormant volcano Hallasan, which -- at just under two thousand metres -- is the highest mountain in South Korea. In addition to that, it is an excellent opportunity to enjoy the beautiful landscape and authentic nature in the UNESCO Biosphere reserve around the volcano.
