Cheonjiyeon Waterfall is a waterfall on Jeju Island, South Korea, known as "The pond of God". It is one of the main tourist attractions on Jeju-do. Cascading down from the roof of a cave located to the east of the waterfall, Cheonjiyeon Waterfall is formed. |
Gushing down from the main waterfall, two small waterfalls are formed, which together flows into the sea. Rare plants like solipnan reeds could be seen around the falls.A cave is located in the east from the ceiling of which ceiling cold water pours down creating the waterfall. |
The Seonimgyo Bridge of the Cheonjiyeon Valley connects Cheonjeyeon with the Jungmum Tourist Complex. There is also an octagonal tower in Cheonjiyeon known as "Cheonjeru tower." A painting of the surface of this towers states Cheonjiyeon¡¯s legend of the nymph and mountain god. Every year in the month of May, an enormous Chilseonyeo Festival is observed here. |
In order to reach the waterfall, visitors must walk on a landscaped trail where near the beginning of the path is a traditional Korean raft, symbolizing Korean culture. It is the most popular espeially at night, as the falls are illuminated. The Cheonjiyeon Waterfall is also known for its diverse plant and animal life. Its pond is known for being a habitat of the marbled eel, which moves only at night. Known as the Mutae eel, it is classified in Korea as a Natural Monument. |
