Visiting Tips & Tips • From the entrance to the waterfall, you need to walk down a series of stairs to the seaside. Along the way, you'll enjoy scenic views of the ocean, cliffs, and pine trees. • It's best to avoid peak hours (such as midday or evening). Visiting the waterfall in the morning, near opening time, or in the late afternoon is more relaxed. • The rocks at the base of the waterfall, near the sea, are slippery or wet, so be careful and wear non-slip shoes for added safety. • There are haenyeo (sea women) and local seafood stalls on site, so you can enjoy some seafood while enjoying the scenery. 2: Seobok Exhibition Hall / 서복전시관 / Seobok Exhibition Hall Admission: Free Hours: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Exhibition Hall Highlights/Highlights • This hall commemorates Xu Fu, a Chinese alchemist from the Qin Dynasty. Legend has it that he was sent by Emperor Qin Shi Huang to search for the elixir of life and visited Jeju Island along the way. The pavilion features a portrait of Xu Fu, a replica of the bronze chariot from the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, and sculptures of the Terracotta Warriors. • Adjacent to the pavilion is a coastal observatory and rest area, allowing visitors to enjoy the ocean view and experience Jeju's coastal scenery. • Jeongbang Falls is very close, about a 150-meter walk away. This makes it a great place to combine both attractions on the same day. Visiting Tips and Notes • Since the pavilion is free, you can include it as part of your Jeongbang Falls itinerary without having to budget for a high entrance fee. • It's best to visit in the morning or early afternoon to avoid midday or late afternoon crowds and when the lighting is less ideal. • If you're traveling with children, they may be more interested in the "Legends and Stories" section. The Terracotta Warriors, sculptures, and stories about Xu Fu in the pavilion offer both educational and entertaining content. • Be aware of holiday closings (such as the Lunar New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival). It's safer to confirm opening hours before your trip. 3. Art Gallery: Located to the left of the Jeongbang Waterfall exit, this gallery features art exhibits worth visiting.
