Attraction Highlights

Cheonjiyeon Falls

One of Jeju's three major waterfalls, this three‑tiered waterfall is hidden within a subtropical forest. Legend has it that seven fairies descended to bathe here, and it is also a classic filming location for the hit drama "Dae Jang Geum".

Unique sunset scenery: As the evening sun casts its glow on the cliff face, the natural rock formations resembling human silhouettes become clearer, with golden light highlighting the flowing water — perfect for photo opportunities and a popular sunset spot in Seogwipo.

Must‑visit spots include Seonimgyo Bridge, adorned with carvings of the seven fairies; Obok Spring, where you can toss a coin for good luck; and Cheonjegak Pavilion, offering panoramic views of the entire stream valley. The walking paths are gentle and easy, suitable for all ages.

The pool is crystal clear, home to wild conger eels, and the forest air is fresh, making for a very comfortable stroll.
