Cheonjiyeon Falls

Hours: Typically open daily, roughly 9am-9pm or later (illuminated at night in some seasons); check current schedule.

Cheonjiyeon ('Sky Connected to Land Pond') is a waterfall in central Seogwipo reached via a short, shaded forest walk, dropping into a pool ringed by subtropical vegetation that gives it a lush, almost jungle-like feel unusual for Korea. The name reflects the sense that the waterfall connects sky and earth, and the surrounding forest walk itself, over a stream and past old trees, is part of the appeal beyond the falls.

It's one of the more accessible and central waterfalls in the Seogwipo area, easy to combine with other downtown Seogwipo stops given the short walk required and central location.
