While the Korea north of the 38th parallel tends to make the headlines, the area below got a mention last week when it became the first natural site in South Korea to be added to the World Heritage List. After meeting in New Zealand, the UNESCO Committee placed Jeju Island on the list.

Best known to Koreans as a honeymoon paradise (no self-respecting Korean man would dare suggest any other destination) and home to the erotic Love Land, Jeju Island also has a volcano and lava tube caves. Spectacularly beautiful AND sexy, who wouldn't want to holiday here? Tourism officials are hoping the World Heritage listing will boost tourist numbers in winter and summer, the seasons when Koreans rarely marry.

Jeju Island, a.k.a the next Hainan, is a subtropical island in South Korea. Also known as the honeymooner's island, it's got a lot to build a romantic atmosphere: balmy weather, soft sand, a pretty coastline, and more. There's also the sex garden.

Jeju Love Land is a "sculpture theme park" that features giant statues of naked ladies, naked gents, and all sorts of sexytime fun. Much like the potato chip, a portrait of oneself next to Love Land's fellatio monument is a blogger's best dream come true. There's a gift shop on the premises that sells all the accessories you'd expect.

A tourist trap for sure, but probably worth the $7.50 admission if you have a blog or a Flickr account.
