Cheonjiyeon Falls is in the city center with a short forest walk. Jeongbang Falls is the only waterfall in Asia that drops directly into the ocean. Cheonjeyeon Falls has three tiers connected by an arched bridge in a subtropical forest.
What outdoor activities are available in Seogwipo?
Snorkeling and scuba diving are popular at Munseom and Beomseom islands. The Jeju Olle Trail sections along the Seogwipo coast are among the most scenic. Kayaking along the Jusangjeolli columnar cliffs is a unique experience. Hallasan's southern trailheads are also nearby.

Jeju City

Jeju City is the northern hub of Jeju Island, Korea's volcanic resort island with UNESCO-listed lava tubes, a subtropical coastline, and Hallasan, the country's tallest peak. The old downtown around Dongmun Market and the black lava stone walls give the city a character entirely different from the mainland.

Busan

Busan is Korea's second city and its beach capital, where steep hillside villages, massive fish markets, and Buddhist temples coexist with surf culture and an international film festival. Haeundae and Gwangalli beaches anchor a coastline that runs the entire length of the city.

Yeosu

Yeosu stretches along a coastline of 365 islands, with a night sea view that Koreans rank among the country's most beautiful. The 2012 World Expo put the city on the map, and its cable car over the harbor and Odongdo Island's camellia forests keep visitors coming back.
