Warisan Unik Pulau Jeju

Oleh Jennifer Barclay

Selama beberapa generasi, Pulau Jeju adalah tujuan utama penduduk Korea Selatan untuk berbulan madu. Inilah lima alasannya.



Terletak di lepas pantai Korea Selatan, Jeju-do menerima ribuan pelancong dan pasangan bulan madu.

Penerbangan langsung dari kota-kota besar seperti Tokyo, Osaka, Beijing dan Shanghai (dan dari bandara domestik Korea Selatan) serta persyaratan visa yang mudah semakin menjadikan Jeju tujuan menarik.

Terdapat taman nasional semitropis dengan luas 224 km persegi dan pantai yang penuh dengan air terjun.

Luas Jeju tiga kali lebih besar dari Seoul, tapi hanya setengah juta orang yang tinggal di sana. Akibatnya pulau ini terasa sepi sekaligus santai. Meski Anda tidak sedang berbulan madu, namun berlibur di Jeju akan membuat anda merasa seperti itu.

1. Puncak tertinggi di Korea Selatan

Gunung api Hallasan yang sedang tidur mencapai ketinggian 1950 meter di atas permukaan laut, tapi Anda bisa mendakinya dan turun lagi dalam sehari jika berangkat pagi. Hindari awan hujan di musim panas dan datanglah pada musim semi saat azalea berbunga, atau saat warna-warna musim gugur muncul atau malah musim dingin untuk melihat salju.

Hallasan adalah cagar biosfer UNESCO. Di dalamnya terdapat danau kawah, tanaman pegunungan, burung pematuk, bajing, kupu-kupu dan serangga. Banyak klub pecinta alam secara reguler mendaki jalur-jalur di sini dan melihat 368 gunung api parasit.

2. Tuba lava

Satu lagi taman geologi UNESCO, Gua Manjang (Manjang Cave) memiliki panjang 8 kilometer dan Anda bisa berjalan sedalam 1 kilometer melihat terowongannya yang menyeramkan.

Terbentuk dari lahar yang mendingin, gua ini gelap, dingin, kadang sempit dan licin karena air. Di pojok-pojoknya terdapat kelelawar. Ini jelas bukan tempat bagi Anda yang takut ruang sempit.

Gunakan bus dari Terminal Bus Antarkota Jeju menuju Jocheon (local road 1132) dan turun di Pintu Masuk Manjanggul; dari sana ambil bus shuttle atau jalan kaki 20 menit. Tel +82 64 783 4818.

3. Patung kakek

Jeju sangat bangga dengan angin, batu dan perempuan-perempuan mereka. Bebatuan di sini unik karena terbentuk dari muntahan lahar. Sekitar 90% dari permukaan batunya adalah jenis basalt.

Tembok batu ini melindungi lapangan terbuka dari badai. Sekitar tahun 1750, untuk menakut-nakuti para penyerang, tukang batu mulai memahat “patung kakek” (dolharubang) yang menyeramkan. Patung ini berbentuk phallus yang mirip dengan patung-patung di Easter Island.

Ada 45 patung yang masih berdiri — tapi jangan tertiru dengan yang replika. Batu-batu ini adalah simbol budaya kuno yang unik tentang dewa-dewa dan legenda rakyat.

Tengok patung-patungnya di sekeliling pulau dan cari tahu lebih lanjut di Jeju Stone Park.

4. Perempuan penyelam

Pada zaman ketika para pria Jeju menghilang selama berminggu-minggu di kapal nelayan mereka, harus ada yang tetap tinggal dan mengangkuti batu  supaya makanan tersedia di rumah.

Karena padi tak mau tumbuh di pulau yang keras dan berangin ini, perempuan pun belajar menyelam untuk mencari gurita, abalone, kerang, cumi dan rumput laut. Kini, para perempuan laut perkasa ini (haenyo) bisa menyelam 10-20 meter tanpa alat bantu, dan menjadi terkenal seantero Korea Selatan.

Rata-rata haenyo ini berusia 65 tahun. Beberapa orang masih menyelam hingga usia 80 tahun dengan pakaian selam. Anda bisa melihat mereka bekerja di seluruh pulau termasuk Pantai Jungmun, Seogwipo.

Haenyeo Museum. 3204 Hado-ri, Gujwa-eup, Jeju. Tel. +82 64 710 7779. Dari Terminal Bus Ekspres Jeju, ambil bus rute 1132 menuju Saehwa atau Seongsan dan turun di Menara Peringatan Anti-Jepang Jeju Haenyeo (60 menit).

5. Pantai-pantai indah

 
Pantai Jungmun: Sapuan pemandangan pasir, laut biru dan tanaman hijau merambat. Letaknya tepat di belakang kolam renang ala Vegas yang terdapat di kompleks mega-hotel Lotte World. Ia dilengkapi dengan tebing palsu, perahu kayuh berbentuk angsa dan kincir angin Belanda.

Kecuali ketika musim panas, pantai indah ini kosong. Pantai-pantai lain yang bisa dinikmati untuk berenang atau berselancar adalah Teluk Emerald, Gwakiji, Hamdoek, dan Shinyang.

Pantai Jungmun, Seogwipo, terletak di selatan, sekitar satu jam dari Kota Jeju.

Situs Warisan Dunia terbaru menurut UNESCO

Oleh Isabel Esterman

Foto-foto milik UNESCO

Inilah enam Situs Warisan Dunia terbaru menurut UNESCO yang ada di Asia Pasifik.

Australia

Pemerintah Inggris membangun penjara-penjara ini pada akhir abad 18 dan 19. Beberapa situs tersebut mengingatkan Australia pada masa lalu kelam mereka saat banyak orang dari Eropa datang terikat dengan rantai, divonis dengan hukuman 'pemindahan' atas kejahatan seperti pencurian sampai pembunuhan. Dari 11 situs yang terdaftar oleh UNESCO, lima ada di Tasmania, termasuk Port Arthur, yang berfungsi sebagai institusi penghukuman sampai 1877.


Cina

Terletak di Provinsi Henan, Monumen Bersejarah Dengfeng tersebar di sekitar Gunung Song, pusat pemujaan agama Tao. Ada 13 struktur bangunan dan situs kuno, termasuk Kuil Shaolin, tempat lahirnya Buddhisme Zen dan kung fu; Akademi Songyang, salah satu pusat pembelajaran tertua di Cina; dan Kuil Songyue, tempat berdirinya pagoda bata tertua di Cina.


India

Jantar Mantar di Jaipur adalah observatorium bersejarah terbesar dan tertua yang ada di India. Keseluruhan bangunan ini terbuat dari batu lokal dan marmer. Dibangun pada awal 1700 oleh Maharaja Jai Singh II, peralatan di situs ini mengukur dan memprediksi peristiwa-peristiwa astronomi dengan ketepatan luar biasa. Yang paling menarik adalah Samrat Yantra, jam matahari setinggi 27 meter (masih akurat sampai dua detik) dan dua cekungan yang memungkinkan pengamat mengikuti pergerakan bulan.

Korea Selatan



Desa Hahoe dan Yangdong, keduanya di Provinsi Gyeongsang Utara, terpilih sebagai perwakilan utama budaya klan bersejarah di Korea. Rumah-rumah para kaum aristokrat yang terjaga dengan baik dan tertata, ruang belajar, dan akademi-akademi mencerminkan budaya Konfusius dari Dinasti Joseon; keindahan gunung-gunung yang mengelilinginya, padang rumput dan sungai yang menginspirasi banyak ode oleh para penyair dari abad 17 dan 18. Tradisi tarian topeng masih hidup sampai sekarang sejak 500 tahun lalu.
 

Sri Lanka

Terletak 2500 mdpl, kawasan Dataran Tengah terpilih sebagai Situs Warisan Dunia UNESCO ke-delapan dari Sri Lanka karena nilai ekologisnya. Daerah pegunungan itu, yang meliputi tiga kawasan lindung, memiliki ekosistem unik. Pohon-pohonnya yang melingkar dan 'cebol' berbeda dari ketinggian pepohonan di hutan dataran rendah di sekitarnya. Hutan pegunungan ini menyimpan kekayaan flora dan fauna, termasuk mamalia yang nyaris punah, seperti langur (monyet kecil) berwajah ungu, loris Dataran Horton, dan leopard Sri Lanka.

Vietnam



Dibangun oleh Dinasti Ly pada abad 11, Benteng Kekaisaran Thang Long adalah pusat pemerintahan Vietnam selama 800 tahun. Benteng ini kemudian dibangun ulang oleh dinasti-dinasti penerusnya, dan diambil alih oleh Prancis pada 1888 yang kemudian menambahkan banyak bangunan pra-kolonial. Pada 2002, saat penggalian untuk pembangunan gedung parlemen yang baru, ditemukan 11 fondasi istana, sekitar 4 meter di bawah permukaan tanah, sisa-sisa pengadilan Dinasti Ly. Penggalian situs arkeologis yang masih terus berlanjut ini diprediksi sebagai yang terbesar di sejarah Asia Tenggara.

Heidi Klum flaunts her rock hard abs in a tiny bikini

After giving birth to four children in the past seven years, you would forgive Heidi Klum for letting herself go a bit.

But the German supermodel is defying all odds and looked better than ever while wearing a bikini this weekend.

Heidi, 37, was in Palm Beach, Florida to renew her vows with husband Seal at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club.





Bikini time! Heidi Klum, who renewed her vows to husband Seal on Saturday, spends Mother’s Day on the beach with her family in Florida




Flower power, The supermodel Heidi Klum opted for a floral bikini top with black bottoms



They had a joyous celebration of their sixth wedding anniversary on Saturday but yesterday the whole family took to the beach for some rest and relaxation as they celebrated Mother’s Day.

The former Victoria’s Secret supermodel wore a variety of bikinis over the weekend which showcased her rock hard abs and enviably toned figure.

She first donned a strapless floral bikini top with black bottoms which showed that her catwalk legs could still perfectly strut down a runway at a moment’s notice.

Heidi frolicked on the beach with her children - Leni, seven, Henry, five, Johan, four and 19-month-old Lou.


Quick change: Heidi Klum was spotted swapping one bikini for another during her stay in Florida




Trim and toned, The 37-year-old, Heidi Klum showed off her impressive shape in a snakeskin number



On Saturday before her nuptials, she was spotted swapping out of one of her bikinis with the a little help from an assistant.

She took off a blue striped strapless top and swapped it for a leopard skin bikini which showed off her ample bosom.

Heidi accessorised it with a gold necklace that had five circles - maybe to represent her husband and four children.

Crazy singer Seal was more covered and wore a patterned shirt while he tended to baby Lou.

He wore an identical necklace around his neck - matching his wife’s sparkling jewellery.





Family time, Heidi Klum on the beach by her husband and their children



The couple have made it a tradition to renew their vows every year after tying the knot on May 10 2005 at Seal’s beach front home in Mexico.

Just like in previous years, the pair turned the occasion into a fancy dress affair, this time opting for a masquerade theme for the ceremony which was attended by 100 friends and family.

The Project Runway star opted for a dramatic strapless dress which featured a hoopskirt covered in tulle and a silver mask with feathered detailing.

She had clearly decided to go for theatrics over comfort and at one point, she was spotted hitching up the skirt to reveal pull-up stockings and her underwear while she walked around the grounds.





Happy family, The couple renewed their vows in the presence of their four children at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida



The couple had initially planned to celebrate their anniversary in Mexico where they first married, but they changed their plan due to the drug violence.

Heidi is said to have contacted Trump a week ago and asked to borrow his twenty-acre property.

’He was happy to put out the welcome mat for them even though he had another commitment that kept him from attending,’ a source told Radar Online.

Last year, every guest had to dress in black-and-white attire while in in 2009, Seal was spotted rocking a mullet and the bride wearing her hair in braids just like 70s star Bo Derek.
