These photos are from our whirlwind tour of Seogwipo, which stretches along the southern coast of Jeju Island. Two big highlights were visits to two of Jeju Island’s major waterfalls: Jeongbang (the first waterfall image you see below) and Cheonjiyeon. You can get close enough to Jeongbang to feel the spray of water on your face. It’s essentially right on the ocean, and the outcropping rocks provide a stepping stone path to the base of the falls. You can’t get quite as close to Cheonjiyeon, but the surrounding area is simply amazing for its incredibly lush flora. There are also some trees with yellow-green leaves (you can see them in one of the photos), which are apparently unique to the area. We ended the afternoon by walking across the Seogwipo harbor bridge.
