The trip to Jeju Island was part of a promotional campain in its bid to become a new 7th natural wonder of the world. Jeju is one of 28 finalists from 450 candidates.

Jeju is blessed as its a combination of so many features, waterfalls, volcano craters, lava tubes and caves, mountains, the mysterious road, animal shaped cliffs, female divers, whereas other places like Niagara Falls or the Grand Canyon have just one feature .
