Jeju was once known as “Tamra” with the meaning of islands. The Emperor of Korea renamed it “Jeju” in Korea Gao. Later, it was changed to “Tamra”. Finally, in 1294, it was identified as “Jeju”.
It is beautiful around the year. There are Rhododendrons in spring, waterfalls in summer, maple leaves in autumn, snow in winter. They are famous and fascinating. However, from the view of the visitors, the most pride is the wide mind and hospitality that Jeju people have.
济州岛是韩国第一大岛,又名蜜月之岛、浪漫之岛,位于朝鲜半岛的南端,岛上屹立着韩国最高的山汉拿山。
济州岛是个神话之岛,其名字的由来和历史的渊源,就是个美丽的传奇神话。据说,在遥远的古代,有三位仙人,在海上遇到了三位美丽的公主,三位仙人和这三位公主在一座岛上结了婚,然后在这里建立村落,庆幸的是,这三位公主随身带着牛马和五谷的种子,于是三对人开始在这里长期生活,并繁衍子孙。韩国著名景点“三姓穴”就是这个神话的发源地。
济州曾经被称为“耽罗”,意思是岛国,高丽高宗时改称“济州”。后来又改为“耽罗国”,直至1294年,才最终确定为“济州”。
济州的一年四季都很美,春季的踯躅花、夏季的瀑布、秋季的枫叶、冬季的雪景都闻名天下,令人神往。不过,在游客看来,最值得骄傲的还是济州岛人身上浓厚的人情味,他们胸怀宽广,又热情好客。
