Exploring Seogwipo Waterfalls from Cheonjiyeon to Jeongbang via Water Trails

Seogwipo is a city where you can find several waterfalls in Jeju, a place where rainwater easily seeps in. Cheonjiyeon is a deep pool at the end of a subtropical forest valley, while Jeongbang and Sojeongbang can be seen as coastal waterfalls where the water falls close to the sea. Cheonjeong in the Jungmun area showcases the changes in water flow within one location with its waterfalls and ponds of different heights.

Eongtto Falls typically looks like a dry cliff but reveals a waterfall only after substantial rainfall. On the other hand, Donnaeko's Wonang Falls has cold valley water flowing within the forest, giving it a different character. Instead of just touring famous spots, it's better to compare factors like water volume, rainfall, staircases, and rocky surfaces. After heavy rain, safety controls take precedence over scenic views, so check local announcements first.

By visiting these six waterfalls, you can see how the water of Seogwipo passes through forests, valleys, cliffs, and the sea in different ways. The gentle walk at Cheonjiyeon, the coastal waterfall at Jeongbang, the multi-tiered structure of Cheonjeong, and the temporary water flow at Eongtto each represent different geological conditions under the same name of 'waterfall.' Wonang Falls and Sojeongbang focus more on the experience of getting close to the forest and coast rather than their scale.

On rainy days, river water levels and rockfall risks increase, and when there's little rain, you might not see any water at Eongtto Falls. Please wear non-slip shoes and adhere to restricted areas and water play limits. Instead of trying to squeeze all the visits in one day, consider dividing them into urban, Jungmun, and Donnaeko areas to reduce driving time and calmly compare the water flows at each waterfall.
