The secluded beaches and luxurious tropical landscapes of Jeju have been attracting newlyweds here for many years, to whom the island owes its brightest attraction. Love Land Park was opened here for them: more recently, in South Korea, the parents of the bride and groom agreed on marriages, and the young could get to know each other better only during the honeymoon. The mission of sexual education was taken over by the creators of the Love Park — graduates of one of the Seoul universities made and installed erotic sculptures and other thematic art objects around a small lake.
What to see
There are no taboos, prohibitions and stereotypes: all the exhibits of the park are subordinated to one goal — to tell as much as possible about the secrets of love and sex. You can see the main open-air exhibition in just an hour. 140 Kama Sutra figures in bronze and marble are located on a small territory.
At the entrance, visitors are greeted by a modest couple kissing lovers, but the further into the park, the more relaxed the poses and the more intimate the plots.
Other elements also help to create a special atmosphere: an exotic landscape, fantastic night lighting and stylized images of the most piquant parts of the human body installed around the perimeter of Love Land. In addition, there is a two-story museum, which exhibits works by contemporary Korean artists, wooden phallic sculptures and all kinds of toys for adults. In several cinemas you can watch educational films on the same topic.
Visitors under the age of 18 are not allowed in the park, but while parents get acquainted with the forbidden art, children can wait for them in the recreation room or on the playground.
