A waterfall 23 metres high that drops from the edge of a black cliff straight onto the rocky shore, a few metres from the sea. That is what makes it special: few waterfalls anywhere come down at the very edge of the sea like this. Its width changes with the rain, up to eight metres, and it counts among the ten finest views of Jeju on the island's traditional list. From the gate, visitors go down a long stone stairway among pine trees to the shore, then walk over large boulders until they are close enough to the falling water to feel its spray. The scene is at its best after days of rain, when the flow is strong. Legend has it that an envoy of the emperor of China passed this way in the third century BC, searching for the herb of immortality on Hallasan, and carved his name on the cliff before sailing on. The way down and back is all steps, and the rocks at the bottom are slippery, so wear suitable shoes. The visit is short and combines easily with Cheonjiyeon Waterfall nearby.

It drops from a 23-metre cliff straight onto the rocky shore, a few metres from the sea, which is rare among waterfalls.
