We visited two different waterfalls, the
first, Jeongbang waterfall is situated right at the edge of the
island, and dropping almost right into the sea. Nice looking
area, but we never saw the inscripiton that shall be done on the
edge of the waterfall.
The second one Cheonjiyeon,is situated a
bit from the parkingarea, with a nice walk up to it. Cheonjiyeon,
meaning "God’s pond," derives its name from the
legend that the seven fairies serving the King of Heaven came
down to the pond on stairs of cloud and bathed in its clean
waters. Apart from the wild Dampalsu trees, designated as natural
monument No. 163, the wooded area also contains a great variety
of rare plants such as brambles, Songyeopnan as well as
Gusiljappam trees, Sanyuja trees (Chinese lemon trees), and
camellias which are all specified as natural monument No. 379.
Take a walk along the subtropical path towards the Cheonjiyeon
Falls for a kilometer and you will be able to hear the
magnificent sound of waterfalls. The waterfall is 22m high, 12m
wide and 20m in depth. The clear and deep water of Cheonjiyeon
Falls is designated as natural monument No. 27 and is renowned as
a habitat for Mutae eels (natural monument No. 258).
