Seoul
Jeju City, on Jejudo Island, is the capital of South Korea's Jeju Province. In the city, Sinsan Park has displays of marine animals at Jeju Folklore and Natural History Museum. Jejuhyanggyo Confucian School houses ancestral tablets and offers calligraphy classes. On the coast, Yongduam Haesu Spa Land has seawater saunas. Nearby, divers at the dragon-shaped Yongduam Rock collect seafood using traditional methods.
The island's lava tubes and certain other volcanic formations (including Mount Halla) were collectively designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2007. Jeju is bathed in warm currents, and its oceanic climate supports some subtropical plants. Until 938 the island was an independent kingdom called Tamna.
