A new day on Jeju Island!
We meandered through the fields of mandarin oranges - ending up at the largest Buddhist temple in Asia! 16,000 little Buddhas lined the walls of the temple and colorful lanterns filled the ceilings throughout the main structure. The dragon is an important part of the Korean culture - as well as the fish, the turtle and the duck. This particular temple also incorporated elephants throughout its landscape.
Next, we headed to Cheonnjiyeon Falls - one of the few waterfalls on the island. Due to the porous volcanic rock, most water just gets absorbed and never lasts on the surface long enough to cascade as a waterfall. Flowers are in full bloom, ducks are swimming along the river and the climate is much more tropical than Seoul.
