(\uc81c\uc8fc\ub3c4)"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Jejudo (<strong>\uc81c\uc8fc\ub3c4<\/strong>) is an island geographically distinct from the South Korean peninsula.\u00a0 While Jejudo (<strong>\uc81c\uc8fc\ub3c4<\/strong>) is considered to be a part of the South Korean soil, it&#8217;s considered an autonomous province as well.\u00a0 So yeah, it&#8217;s a bit complicated but to make a long story short, Jejudo (<strong>\uc81c\uc8fc\ub3c4<\/strong>) is considered a part of Korean territory, but with special rights that are not given to other provinces.\u00a0 Jejudo (<strong>\uc81c\uc8fc\ub3c4<\/strong>) has it&#8217;s own unique sub culture and dialect.\u00a0 Contact\u00a0with the Japanese, the Mongols, and China have influenced the Jeju (<strong>\uc81c\uc8fc<\/strong>) dialect, which is noticeably different from the standard, Korean Seoul dialect.<\/p>\n<p>Jejudo (<strong>\uc81c\uc8fc\ub3c4<\/strong>) contains many tourist attractions.\u00a0 I would recommend going to see Hallasan (<strong>\ud55c\ub098\uc0b0<\/strong>).\u00a0 Hallasan (<strong>\ud55c\ub098\uc0b0<\/strong>) is the tallest mountain in South Korea.\u00a0 For those of you who are hiking freaks, there&#8217;s a national park nearby that leads to a hiking trail.\u00a0 On Hallasan (<strong>\ud55c\ub098\uc0b0<\/strong>) you&#8217;ll see a small lake called baengnokdam (<strong>\ubc31\ub85d\ub2f4<\/strong>), which means &#8216;white deer lake&#8217;.\u00a0 According to local legend, baengnokdam (<strong>\ubc31\ub85d\ub2f4<\/strong>) is a deer-hunting-hotspot for the gods.\u00a0 ( Since when were mountains the natural habitats of deers?\u00a0 Oh well.)<\/p>\n<p>One of the more poignant sites is the gwaneumsa (<strong>\uad00\uc74c\uc0ac<\/strong>) temple on Hallasan (<strong>\ud55c\ub098\uc0b0<\/strong>).\u00a0 Just outside the gwaneumsa (<strong>\uad00\uc74c\uc0ac<\/strong>) temple\u00a0lies a memorial for the victims of\u00a0the Jeju (<strong>\uc81c\uc8fc<\/strong>) rebellion against the South Korean government.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a very controversial part of Korean history and to this day there&#8217;s\u00a0still\u00a0some residual tensions between the South Korean government and the Jeju (<strong>\uc81c\uc8fc<\/strong>) Islanders over this issue.\u00a0 The Jeju (<strong>\uc81c\uc8fc<\/strong>)rebellion is called Jeju minjong hang jang (<strong>\uc81c\uc8fc\ubbfc\uc815\ud56d\uc7a5<\/strong>).\u00a0 It started when the Jeju (<strong>\uc81c\uc8fc<\/strong>) Islanders led demonstrations to protest a tax on agricultural goods.\u00a0 In response the South Korean government sent troops to squash the demonstrations, which resulted in a large scale execution of villagers.<\/p>\n<p>With it&#8217;s rich history and scenic sites, I&#8217;d recommend everyone to go to Jejudo (<strong>\uc81c\uc8fc\ub3c4<\/strong>) at least once.\u00a0 In my next post, you&#8217;ll see why Jejudo (<strong>\uc81c\uc8fc\ub3c4<\/strong>) is a great place to go for the Valentines Day weekend.\u00a0 (Wink, wink).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jejudo (\uc81c\uc8fc\ub3c4) is an island geographically distinct from the South Korean peninsula.\u00a0 While Jejudo (\uc81c\uc8fc\ub3c4) is
