CHEONJEYEON FALLS

by ancient_traveler

Not to be confused with the Cheonjiyeon Waterfall, is a three-tier waterfall located on Jeju Island. Cheonjeyeon Waterfall, named 'The pond of God', according to Korean legend, nymphs would descend from the heavens at night and bathe in the waterfall's pond. One of Jeju's top tourist attractions, Cheonjeyeon Falls has not only a great 22-meter cascade but is also surrounded by a beautiful park. There is a cave in the east and from the ceiling cold water pours down creating the waterfall. The water from the first waterfall becomes the second and third waterfalls and flows into the sea. Don't miss the chance to take a leisurely walk underneath the tree shades. The pond formed by the falling water is home to carps, ducks, and a variety of other living creatures.Since ancient times, it is thought that standing under the waterfall on special days can cure diseases. The waterfall is one of the...

Cheonjeyeon...Yeomiji's neighbour

Visit the Cheonjeyeon Falls right after your visit to the Yeomiji Botanical Gardens as it is right next door. Cheonjeyeon means "Pond of God" or "Pond of the Heaven's Emperor", is a series of three waterfalls. The first waterfall starts from a 22 meter high cliff and forms the Cheonjeyeon pond which is 21 meters deep. The water continues over the second and third waterfalls until it reaches the ocean. Around the falls are rare plants such as the sulipnan reeds. Legend has it that nymphs would descend from heaven and bathe in the waters of pond. Cheonjeyeon is one of the three famous waterfalls in Jeju Island, the others are Cheonjiyeon Falls and Jeongbang Falls.Fees: adults: 2,700 won(group 2,150won)seniors, teen-agers, children: 1,470won (group 910 won)

Jeju Traditional Folk Village

by TheTravelSlut

This is one of several island traditional folk villages and is primarily an outdoor museum which showcases dozens of buildings and other historical Korea items. The Village shows what Jeju & Korea life was like a several hundred years ago. Farm implements, tools, a Confucian school, herbal apothecary shop, a weaving studio, and livery are all on sight as well as the requisite gift shop, mini-restaurant and snack shops throughout the park. The primary areas include:a mountain village, fishing village, botanical garden, market place, an old government building (where the torture devices were).Note that some of the exhibits are replicas but some of the cottages are authentic and moved intact to their present location. I did not see a guidebook as I entered the park and the signage primarily displays Korean descritpions but a few English words also. Even the plant life is marked with...

Yakchun Buddhist Temple & Sanctum-Jeju

by TheTravelSlut

Yakcheonsa Temple's main building (Daejeokgwangjeon) is classic Buddhist construction. It is over 90 feet high and inside the main building there is the main Buddha over 15 feet in height and there are plans to construct and arrange an additional 1,080,000 small Buddhas. 80,000 miniature Buddhas adorned the entire second floor of this 90 foot high structure while ornate & colorful designs, statues, & larger-than-life Buddha's dominated the ground floor of the temple. Intricate paintings and interior decor combined with a feeling of calm were present throughout this massive building.The adjacent temple bell weighs 18 tons and there is a large-sized fountain lotus pond. Tranquility seems to come easily here.Plan to leave your shoes outside the temple. Dry rice is sold inside as an offering.You can also attend a tea ceremony in a detached building nearby following a tour of the temple. The...

Manjang-gul Lava Caves

by glazaro

It's claiming itself to be the longest lava cave in the world, and as I can't recall visiting too many lava caves, I'd say the title fits. It's a fairly long walk through damp, dark, disorienting conditions to the final point where some rocks have fallen to create what they call the "lava pillar". Your shoes will most likely get wet, as will your head. The walls are dripping with moisture. Is there much to see? Not really anything specific that'll blow your mind. It's more of the case where it's not the goal but the journey that's most memorable. You are in fact walking through a tunnel of hardened lava, and I suppose it was good enough for me to experience it. At the final point before you have to turn back, there are some colored lights shining at the pillar and some recordings giving information in different languages. Along the way is also the "lava turtle", which, according to one...

Jeju Folk Village

by glazaro

This outdoor museum typically demonstrates the history of lifestyles that no longer exist around Jeju Island. There are quite a lot of buildings and it's fairly spread out, so you can spend a few hours walking around if you really want to get a close look at everything. Otherwise it's more worth your time to look closely at a few buildings and then just soak in the atmosphere the rest of your stay, as it can get a bit much I think. Jeju is a naturally difficult place for people to sustain themselves, due to its volcanic nature and it's often windy, unpredictable weather. All sorts of buildings essential to village life can be seen as Jeju folk living in separate parts of the island had adjusted their styles to their terrain and location: specifically mountain, plains, or coastal styles. There were also some restaurants, gardens, waterfalls, farm animals and artisans at work throughout...
