835. Take the United States to Jeju
Speaking of which, he didn't come to Nanxian once or twice. But apart from Seoul, he has hardly ever traveled anywhere else.
Although Nanxian is a small country, it also has some good tourist attractions, and he wants to find time to have a good time.
When Han Jiaren heard his suggestion, she was naturally overjoyed, she had long wanted to live a two-person world with Zhou Fangyuan, but she never had the opportunity, if Zhou Fangyuan didn't take the initiative to bring it up, she wouldn't be able to take the initiative to speak. Otherwise, it seems that she is playful, after all, she can't be sure when Zhou Fangyuan has time, when he is really busy, she can't disturb Zhou Fangyuan's plan because of her little selfishness, this is her gentle side.
Now Zhou Fangyuan took the initiative to ask for ...... Then there was nothing to worry about, and Han Jiaren's heart suddenly became alive.
As a Nanxian person, she doesn't dare to say anything else, she still knows about some of the more well-known domestic attractions.
Of course, limited by the land area, the overall number of scenic spots can not be compared with the big countries, but Nanxian is in a corner and also has some of its own characteristic scenic spots.
The first recommendation is Jeju Island, of course, if you have to say, Seoul must be the first scenic spot. But Seoul to be honest, big cities, it's really not interesting, Zhou Fangyuan stays here every time he comes to Nanxian, he is very familiar with the attractions in Seoul and the surrounding areas, he wants to go, he has to go to those he hasn't been to before. Then the scenic spots outside of Seoul are very important, and the first one recommended here is Jeju Island, which is no problem at all.
Jeju Island is the largest island in Namxian, located in the southwest sea of Namxian, with an area of 1,845 square kilometers and a population of 668,000. Jeju Island was designated a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site in 2007 and is known as the "Southern Hawaii".
Jeju Island is an "island of myths". It is said that there were three immortals who met three princesses who came in wooden boats from the country of Bilang in the East China Sea, and they brought seeds of cows, horses, and grains. The three immortals married the three princesses, and after that, they established a village and began to live for a long time. Jeju's famous scenic spot "Samsa Cave" is a historical site about this myth. It is said that Jeju already had an ancient state called "Tamna" during the Three Kingdoms period, and it was only during the reign of Gojong of Goryeo that it was renamed "Jeju".
The history of Jeju Special Self-Governing Island dates back to the Stone Age. Through the excavation of the ruins, it is known that people lived in caves and caves at that time, and found relics such as stone tools and polished stone tools, as well as relics from the Bronze and Iron Ages. Dolmens, polished stone tools, earthenware tools, and urn coffin tombs are scattered throughout the island, and are important materials for studying the historical origins of Jeju. The ancient names of Jeju include Doye, Dongyingju, Shina, Tanmula, and Toro, and all of these names mean "island country" except for "Dongyingju".
In ancient times, Jeju Island had an independent kingdom called Tamna, and since it has maintained its unique customs, dialects, and culture. Since ancient times, this island has been known for its "three more and three no three beauty".
"Samdo" refers to many stones, many winds, and many women, so Jeju Island is also called Samduo Island. Because the whole of Jeju was caused by volcanic eruptions, there are many stones and caves in Jeju. In addition to the columnar joint belt, Wanzhang Cave, and Shuanglong Cave, you can even feel what is called a "living cave" in the Cave of Zhucai. And the people of ancient Jeju started from scratch on this piece of stone land. Nowadays, the stone houses and thatched cottages scattered throughout the island's towns and folk villages tell the story of the difficult life of Jeju's ancestors in the early days of the people who traveled here.
"Fengduo" is related to Jeju's location in the typhoon zone, just like Seokda, which also illustrates the harsh living environment of Jeju. Whether it's Yongduam Rock on the seaside of Jeju City or Standalone Rock along the coast of Seogwipo, you can feel the different feeling of the cliffs. The "female majority" is due to the fact that Jeju men used to go fishing and had a high proportion of deaths, so there were more women than men in terms of numbers. But the main reason is that life is difficult, and women also have to work with men, so it makes women look more numerous. In the vicinity of Ushijima and Shiroyama Sunrise Peak, the ama who dived into the rough seas and ventured to pick seafood can be said to be the representatives of the "island of women".
"Three nos" means no thieves, no gates, and no beggars. The people of Jeju have lived in this barren land since ancient times, and the harsh living conditions have made them develop the virtue of helping their neighbors, so no one needs to steal or beg for a living, so there is no need to set up gates to guard their neighbors. Therefore, when the owner goes out to work, he just puts a horizontal log at the door of his house to show that there is no one in the house, and there are no other unnecessary facilities. In the Jeju dialect, this horizontal log is called "Jeong-bar".
"Samyeo", also known as "Sambo", refers to Jeju's beautiful nature, folk customs, and traditional crafts, as well as the three major resources of crops, aquatic products, and tourism, as well as Jeju's strong human touch, beautiful nature, and unique local products. Jeju's beautiful natural landscapes have long been famous all over the world, especially for the four seasons of Hallasan Mountain, with azaleas in spring, waterfalls in summer, maple leaves in autumn, and snow in winter, perfectly blending with the beauty of the Chinese tourist area along the coast of Seogwipo. However, in the eyes of the Jeju people themselves, what they are most proud of is their strong human touch.
Jeju Island's most famous Jeju specialty is citrus, which has an attractive sweet and sour flavor and plump flesh. Among them, Halla Peak, which has a high sugar content, is even more famous. Among the marine products, the high-quality fish sea bream is the most famous, and it is mainly sold frozen or dried, and eaten as soup or grilled fish. The hundred-year-old grass cactus at Jeju Monument No. 35 is sold as powder or honey and is one of the most popular specialties among tourists. Chocolates made from Jeju raspberries, citrus, and schisandra berries are becoming more and more popular.
Jeju is a good place to shop in the downtown business district, traditional bazaars such as the "5th Market", which opens every five days, and supermarkets and hypermarkets. The downtown business district is located in the most prosperous area of the city, with shops lining both sides of the road, business districts, residential areas, coffee shops, fast food restaurants and other rest places.
Jeju's traditional market offers a wide variety of daily necessities, fruits, agricultural products, and even herbs, and is popular with Jeju residents and tourists alike because of its low prices. Large supermarkets play a strong role in promoting Jeju Island's retail industry, and Jeju's local products such as honey, Jeju dried jade sea bream, and Hallabong citrus can be purchased in major supermarkets, which greatly facilitates the travel and shopping of tourists.
However, since Zhou Fangyuan is from a big city, he will not care about the commercial street here, and the commercial street on Jeju Island is prosperous, and it is not as good as Seoul, which is certain. After all, there are two areas in Namxian, one is Seoul and the other is the other, so you can imagine the prosperity of Seoul, so this kind of commercial street can not attract Zhou Fangyuan and them at all, they just walked around casually, and set their eyes on the more beautiful natural scenery.
There are not many famous natural attractions on Jeju Island, such as the volcanic crater, which is a volcanic crater with a circumference of more than 2 kilometers and is protected by nature. It is located on flat ground southeast of Jeju City, with a diameter of 650 meters, a depth of 100 meters, and a circumference of 2,070 meters. From the air, it looks like an artificially built circular stadium. There is a wide variety of plants here, with temperate trees and the precious winter strawberry growing in the north. To the south of the crater is a typical temperate forest. In the limited space of the crater, there are also various trees of different natures, which are highly valued in academic circles. There are many other views to see, such as the entrance made of stones, the stone pool, and the crater.
Another example is Hallasan Mountain, which stands majestically in the middle of Jeju Island at an altitude of 1,950 meters above sea level, and is the symbol of Jeju Island. Hallasan Mountain is home to a variety of plants and is highly academically valuable, and was designated a national park in 1970 and is surrounded by 386 parasitic volcanic peaks. Hallasan Mountain has its own characteristics in each of the four seasons, and it changes with the seasons, and from the top of the mountain, you can see the beautiful scenery of the Seogwipo coast.
Yongduam Rock, located on the northern coast of Jeju City, is a rock formed by the cooling of lava eruptions 2 million years ago, with a height of 10 meters and a length of 30 meters. It is precisely because one end of the rock resembles a dragon's head that it is named Longtou Rock. There is also a legend about a dragon who wanted to ascend to heaven, but in the end he couldn't do so, so only the part of the dragon's body remained on the rock, and the dragon's head was shot down by lightning during a typhoon. There is a dragon pond about 200 meters east from Yongdugwan, which is said to be a place where dragons play, hence the name Dragon Pond. The water of the pool is crystal clear.
Columnar joint belt, on the columnar joint belt of Seogwipo City, Jeju Province, it can be seen that stone pillars are piled up on the coast. It is a nature conservation object of Jeju Island. The columnar joint belt is formed by the cooling of lava spewed from Halla Mountain when it flows into Qianhai in the Chinese region, and consists of large and small square or hexagonal stone pillars. In the past, this area was called "Jisatgae" in the administrative division, and these stone pillars were called "Jisatgae Rocks". It is also famous for its crashing of the nearly 20-meter-high cliffs and for its fishing by the sea.
Walking more than 600 meters southwest of a small seaside village called Daepo-dong, there are cliffs among the pine trees. There is the Jisatgae coast on the cliffs and stone pillars on the shore. The columnar joints are four to hexagonal in shape, as if carved by stonemasons, and the scenery is picturesque, and people can't help but sigh at the greatness of nature. When the waves are rough, it can be as high as 10 meters, and it is really a spectacular sight to behold.
In addition to these large and magnificent natural landscapes, there are also some more exquisite attractions.
For example, Manjang Cave is a lava cave formed by volcanic lava spewed out of Hallasan Mountain, with a total length of 13.4 kilometers, the largest in the world, and is the longest lava cave in the world, and is designated as a nature reserve. Manjang Cave has a variety of forms typical of lava caves, such as lava lagmites up to 70 cm long and lava tubular tunnels. Only about 1 kilometer of the cave is open to visitors. The stone pillars and stalactites in the Wanzhang Cave are magnificent, and develop in the same direction in a double and triple manner, showing the topographical characteristics of the lava cave.
Another example is Tiandi Yuan Waterfall, which is named after the legend that the seven fairies around the Jade Emperor stole down to the mortal world to bathe and play. As the name suggests, the waterfall is divided into three sections, and the surrounding temperate forest has precious plants such as pine leaf orchid. The first waterfall is located in the eastern rock cave with cold water flowing down from the top, and swimming is forbidden here. The water cascading down from the waterfall forms the second and third waterfalls, which eventually flow into the sea. There are 8 pavilions such as Xianlin Bridge and "Tiandi Tower" in the valley of Tiandi Yuan. Xianlin Bridge, also known as the Seven Fairies Bridge, is a bridge connecting Tiandi Yuan and the Chinese Tourist Garden, with a length of 128 meters. On the outer wall of the Heavenly Emperor Tower, there are fairy pictures and fairy pictures depicting the legend of Heavenly Emperor Yuan. The Seven Fairies Festival is held here every even-numbered year in May.
Another example is the sunrise of Chengshan and the summer waterfall of the main house.
The sunrise of Chengshan is guarded by 99 large and small stone peaks like guardians of the crater of Sunrise Peak, and from a distance, it looks like a huge castle, so it is named "Chengshan". At Shiroyama Sunrise Peak, you can watch a spectacular sunrise over the sea. The process of the rising sun is called "sunrise", and the rising sun is called "sunrise".
Located along the coastal road near Seogwipo City, Jeongbang Waterfall is the only coastal waterfall in Asia that flows directly into the sea, falling to a height of 23 meters, and the majestic momentum of the black cliff against the steep slope of the black cliff is set off by two powerful currents up to 8 meters wide that wash over the steep mountain wall and crash into the sea with thunder. 300 meters to the east, there is a small 5-meter-high main house waterfall, which is perfect for summer retreat. There is also an observation deck on the coastal cliff for a beautiful view of the seaside. On the steep cliff wall of the main house waterfall, there is an inscription on the sword of the Qi Kingdom, "Qi Chen Xu Shiqian Wang Guozhi", and the name of Seogwipo is also taken from the meaning of Xu Fu's return to the west. Legend has it that at the end of the Warring States Period of the Zhou Dynasty, Xu Fu, a scholar of Qi State, first crossed the sea to find an overseas sacred mountain to go to Jeju Island, the ancient name of Yingzhou, and later Xu Fu took the initiative to deceive Qin Shi Huang to protect the royal family of Tian Qi in the name of looking for immortal medicine, and led 3,000 boys and girls to cross Wakayama in Japan, with the country name Yamato, and passed through Jeju Island again on the way.
In short, the island is not big, and there are not many attractions, but it is exquisite, and there is beauty, and the feeling is different. Zhou Fangyuan himself is here to relax, as long as he relaxes, he can not care about anything else. Coupled with the company of beautiful women, what else is there to blame for this kind of life? Han Jiaren was full of interest, and took Zhou Fangyuan to run all over the world, Zhou Fangyuan naturally followed each other with a smile, and the two spent a week and time to play all the large and small attractions on Jeju Island, and then returned to Seoul.
After all, Zhou Fangyuan is here to work, and it is already a luxury to take a week out to play, but now that he has played, he is happy and happy, and he can finally calm down and start working again.
