OVERVIEW

Behold the natural beauty in southern Jeju Island, much of it the result of past volcanic activity. You will likely hear roaring Cheonjiyeon Falls before seeing the cascade, which plummets straight down from a sheer rock cliff. From the viewing platform, the water appears to fall from the heavens, which is appropriate since Cheonjiyeon translates to “sky connected to land.” As you look out from the observation deck at Jusangjeolli Cliff, you’ll notice its striking hexagonal columns—shaped by volcanic activity long ago. They formed during the Pleistocene Period when molten lava hit the cold ocean water, quickly cooled, fractured and shot high into the air. Yakcheonsa Temple will offer a glimpse into the island’s Buddhist culture and scenic beauty. A stream spills into a pond at the base of the temple and pilgrims are often seen drinking from its supposedly medicinal waters. For a close-up look at daily life on Jeju, you will spend free time at a bustling market.


HIGHLIGHTS
• Follow a scenic trail to Cheonjiyeon Falls, a beautiful cascade within a verdant forest.
• View ancient hexagonal columns that quickly cooling lava formed at Jusanjeolli Cliff.
• Explore a local market with time to shop or simply look around.
• Wander around a Buddhist temple built next to a stream that is supposedly medicinal.


HELPFUL HINTS
• Dress in weather-appropriate clothing.
