Detailed itinerary
1
Cheonjeyeon Falls, which means "the pond where the Jade Emperor played," is divided into three waterfalls: the first waterfall falls into Cheonjeyeon from the columnar joint, and the second and third waterfalls are formed as the water from Cheonjeyeon flows further down.
2
This temple is located next to Cheonjeyeon Waterfall in Seogwipo. Although small in size, the temple's grandeur is fully represented by the Buddha. Why not take a moment to meditate while listening to Buddhist music?
3
An oreum is a small volcanic body, and there are 367 oreums on Jeju Island. Among them, Beryeetnae Oreum, located in Jungmun, Seogwipo, offers a bird's eye view of the entire Jungmun Tourist Complex. It is said that Beritnae Oreum was called Beritnae because water flows like the Milky Way through the deep valley of Cheonjeyeon, so it became Beryeetnae.
4
Seogwipo Jungmun Saekdal Beach is located in the Jungmun Tourist Complex with beautiful coastal scenery and exotic palm trees. It was originally called Jinmosal, which means long sandy beach.
The waves are more frequent and higher than other beaches on Jeju Island, making it popular with surfers, and the largest international surfing competition in Korea is held here every June.
