Chenjiyeon waterfall; a habitat of giant eels / Jeju travel

* Notice- this article is written by non native English speaker

Today I will show you one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Jeju island named 'Chenjiyeon waterfall'. Actually there are four waterfalls in Seokwipo city. When you see a geological shape of Jeju island the southern part is tilted which means there are lots of cliffs on the south. That's why you have to go to southern part of this island in order to see waterfalls.

This is the entrance of 'Chenjiyeon waterfall'. As usual as other touristic spots there is a souvenir shop at the front. Whenever I pass the area I can't resist having an ice cream. Browsing souvenirs with having ice cream is good fun in here. Just flat road leads you to the waterfall from here, so it can be a nice walking.

Enjoy fresh air in the forest. Even in summer time you feel cool temperature. You can see lots of tropical, temperate and tundra plants in here because Jeju is subtropical island and it is very cold in winter time. If you are interested in plants you will like this place very much.

You will see small reservoir on the way to the waterfall. This place was used to be a hydro power plant 30 years ago. There are some signs of the plants so far.

Now you see the waterfall. 'Chenjiyeon' means 'sky and earth in a pond'. According to the legend fairies descended to here to take bath. Actually people use to swim here before 1970s.

This place is a habitat of giant eels and designated as a national monument and Geo-park by UNESCO.
