Description
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 Script error: No such module "convert". 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 trachyte andesite 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]
The Cheonjiyeon Waterfall is also known for its diverse plant and animal life, as the path to the waterfall goes through a garden of subtropical plants.[1][2][3] Migratory ducks,[4] Elaeocarpus sylvestris var. ellipticus (Natural Monument no. 163), Psilotum nudum, and Castanopsis cuspidata var. sieboldii, Xylosma congesta, and Camellia are some examples of the flora and fauna around the falls.[10] Its pond is known for being a habitat of the marbled eel (Anguilla marmorata), which is mainly active at night.[2] Known as the Mutae (Script error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler) eel, it is classified in Korea as Natural Monument no. 27.[1][3]
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 (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "lang".Template:Category handler).[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]
