Jeju is a beautiful little island off the coast of South Korea, known mostly for its scenery and tranquility. But then this local attraction shows up — Jeju Loveland, a sex themed park that’s all kind of wacky! According to trusty Wikipedia:
During the 1970s, Jeju Island became a popular honeymoon destination for Korean couples, due to the island’s warm climate and Cold War-era restrictions on overseas travel. Many of the couples had wed because of arranged marriages, and the island also became known for being a center of sex education. According to an article in Germany’s Der Spiegel magazine, in the late 1980s journalist and travel writer Simon Winchester reported that some hotel employees on the island performed as “professional icebreakers.” In the evenings, the hotel would offer an entertainment program featuring erotic elements, to help newlyweds relax.
While it wasn’t part of our main itinerary, it definitely made for an interesting detour!
