Udo Island

Udo Island (우도) is a small island off the coast of Jeju Island in South Korea that is quite popular with tourists.

Understand
Udo Island as seen from Jeju Island

Udo is the northeast of the village of Seongsan-ri on Jeju Island and is 3½ km off its coast. After Jeju Island, it is the second largest island in Jeju-si. It only has a population of 370 people. Udo means "Cow Island" in Chinese and the island probably has this name because it looks like a cow lying down. The whole of Udo Island is a lava plateau with some fertile, flat land where the major agricultural products are sweet potatoes, garlic, and peanuts. There's a parasitic volcanic cone, called shoi meori oreum, in the southeast.

Get in

Udo can be reached several times a day by ferry from the village of Seongsan-ri.
