In and Around Seogwipo鈥檚 Scenic Spots, Seogwipo, South Korea
We had planned to spend聽the last 3聽days, of our 10 day trip to Jeju, in Seogwipo 鈥� the聽southern part of the island. Inter-terminal buses connect different sections聽of the island and run at a hourly frequency. We took a bus from Jeju-si (north) and reached聽the south in about an hour or so. We stayed very close to聽Jungmun Beach, a paradise for honeymooners, and yet, we never made it to the beach itself. Staying here gives you access to the beach, seafood restaurants, and聽Cheonjeyeon Falls. Since most hotels have a check-in time of 3 pm, we left our bags at the concierge of our hotel, and head directly to the falls. There鈥檚 a small souvenir shop and lunch house before the ticketing entrance. We settled for a meal of pajeon(Korean pancake) and meat聽soup.
The diversity of Jeju鈥檚 natural habitat still surprises me. So far, we鈥檇 explored scenic coastal routes, golden beaches, lave tubes, stunted oreums (parasitic volcanoes), green meadows, and dense ecological forests. As we descended towards the source of the聽Cheonjeyeon Falls,聽we聽discovered yet another gem 鈥� a subtropical forest. We鈥檝e never made it to the Amazon rainforest and yet, this is what I鈥檇 imagine the vegetation to look like. The source of the waterfall originates from a cave (below a bridge) and聽creates the first waterfall. The pool of water, formed from this waterfall, becomes the source of two other waterfalls 鈥� formed at two subsequent steps. In November, the rain was sporadic and the first waterfall had dried. Named as, 鈥楶ond of God鈥�, the turquoise water reflected the jagged edge of the rocky face of the cave. In the afternoon, there were relatively fewer tourists. ......
