Tumpai Island
A common misconception about the island of Tahiti is that it is in the shape of a heart. 

Tahiti is a name assigned to both an island and an island chain.
 
Therefore, when referencing the island chain of Tahiti, it is quite right to say it forms a heart, as one of the islands within the chain is in fact in the shape of a heart—it just isn’t Tahiti.

However, these days it’s possible to get up close and personal, as Tahiti Nui Travel now offers flights to and from the island.

So why would you want to visit Tupai? 
That’s easy. 

Tahiti Nui Travel calls it the most romantic wedding spot in Tahiti and also names it as the top place to get engaged. 

With the island chain already a magnet for couples and newlyweds, Tupai is the perfect place for any starry-eyed travelers.
What can you do when you’re there? 

For starters, you can have some of the most romantic and intimate experiences available in the world.

 Beginning the day with an island tour by air, and ending it by sipping champagne with your feet in the water as you lounge under the shade of a coconut tree, these are moments that can’t be captured anywhere else.
For those of you about to tie the knot, consider making your wedding memorable by exchanging your vows in the heart of the Polynesian Islands. 

Oh my god, it's so romantic, right??? Hihi =D

it is located at the tip of the Korean peninsula and very close to Japan.

These experts have found stalactites and stalagmites growing in the caves, and note that normally such things are rarely found in lava caves. 

These caves are now recognized as “golden lime” caves; due to the high concentration of calcium salts.

The north and southeast sides of Jeju Island’s Seongsan Ilchulbong feature dramatic cliffs. The northwest slope, however, is a grassy field that connects the crater to Seongsan Village (성산마을). In the spring, the area fills with bright yellow rapeseed flowers and is perfect for horseback riding. “Seongsan” literally means “fortress mountain”, and if you take an early morning hike to see the spectacular sunrise between the naturally-formed turrets, I think you’ll agree that the place deserves its name.
