Jeongbang Waterfall, also known as Jeju Island's three major waterfalls with Cheonjiyeon Falls and Cheonjeyeon Falls, is located in Dongbong-dong, Seogwipo City, Jeju Island. It is a coastal waterfall that falls directly into the sea in Korea and even Asia. It is said that a man named Xu Fu was ordered by Qin Shi Huang to search for the elixir of life, but he still could not find it. Before going back, pass the beautiful Jeongbang Waterfall, and engraved the words "Xu Fu passed this" on the cliff. But these words are no longer visible now, it is just a legend. In addition, the name Seogwipo is also derived from the meaning of Xu Fu's return to the west. Because the location of the scenic spot is relatively remote, you can take the tourist bus No. 600 from Jeju Airport to the terminal KAL Hotel. After getting off, follow the sign of Jeongbang Waterfall and walk for about 10 minutes. There is an information desk at the entrance of the scenic spot. If you have any travel questions, you can ask the staff here. Although you can't speak Chinese, you are very enthusiastic and can speak simple English. Walking towards the seaside from the entrance, you can see a large observation platform, where you can not only look at the seascape in the distance, but also take a panoramic photo of the waterfall. The entire waterfall is 23 meters high and 8 meters wide. It pours straight from the black cliffs into the vast sea. The spectacular waterfalls and the blue sea sing joyfully. Together with the surrounding vertical cliffs and old pines, this place has become a tourist attraction. A place to take pictures. If you want to get up close and personal with the waterfall, you can go down the escalator and walk to the coast, where you can directly look up at the waterfall. However, there are big stones on the side of the waterfall, which makes it difficult to walk. It is recommended to wear sneakers. In summer, you can also take off your shoes and play in the water. If you happen to meet sea girls who go out to sea, you can eat their freshly salvaged sea urchins, squid and other things for a little money. Walking 300 meters east from Jeongbang Waterfall, there are 10 5-meter-high water streams, that is Xiaojeongfang Waterfall. In summer, it is a very popular place for locals to play in the water.
