Cheonjeyeon Waterfalls
waterfall
Cheonjeyeon Waterfall (Korean: 천제연폭포) is a three-tier waterfall located on Jeju Island, South Korea. The falls are a popular tourist attraction, and one of the three famous waterfalls of Jeju, alongside Cheonjiyeon Waterfall and Jeongbang Waterfall.
Description
Cheonjeyeon means Pond of the Emperor of Heaven.
According to Korean legend, seven nymphs would descend from the heavens at night and bathe in the waterfall's pond. Since ancient times, it is thought that standing under the waterfall on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month can cure diseases by the eighth lunar month, though swimming is now prohibited.
Cold water flows out of the ceiling of a cave to make the waterfall. Between the precipice of the waterfall and the lower clay layer, water springs out. In first cascade, the cliff is 22 m (72 ft) high and the water falls into Cheonjeyeon Pond which is 21 m (69 ft) deep. From there, the water goes to the second waterfall and falls 30 m (98 ft) and continues to the third waterfall. Eventually, the water reaches the ocean.
