Cheonjiyeon Waterfall (Korean: 천지연폭포) is a waterfall on Jeju Island, South Korea.[1] It is 22 m (72 ft) high and 12 m (39 ft) wide.[2][3] It is one of the main tourist attractions on Jeju,[4][5] particularly when they are illuminated at night time.[3] At night, the "Hidden Face," a formation of rocks, may be visible with the night lights.[4][3]
Its name implies it is a meeting point between sky and land, as cheon means sky, and ji means land.[1]
Though water always falls in one particular area, depending on the amount of recent rain, the water may spread out.[4] At the bottom of the waterfall is an artificial pond that is 20 m (66 ft) deep.[3] Two small dams help keep the water at a specific level.[4]
Large volcanic rocks form landbridges that allow tourists to pose for photographs in front of the falls.[6] These falls are characterized by its trachyteandesite rocks.[7] The source of Cheonjiyeon Waterfall is a spring that comes out of the floor of the Somban Stream.[8] The stream Yeonhee-chun is the source of the waterfall.[9] The waterfall is one of the three famous waterfalls of Jeju, the other two being Cheonjeyeon Waterfall and Jeongbang Waterfall.[4]
In order to reach the waterfall, visitors must walk on a landscaped trail.[4] Near the beginning of the path is a traditional Korean raft (테우; teu).[4] Just before reaching the falls on the path, one must cross a bridge from which a wide variety of koi fish can be seen below.[6] Along the way are three piles of stacked or balanced rocks. In olden days, a person would place a small stone under a larger stone and pray for the health and prosperity of their family.[6]
