A 22-metre fall at the end of a short gorge walk in Seogwipo, lit and open until 22:00. The one sight on the island for a ship that sails late. ₩2,000.
Cheonjiyeon means the pond where heaven and earth meet. The fall is 22 metres high at the end of a gorge of subtropical forest, and it is lit at night, which is why it stays open until 22:00.
Both pins on one map, so the distance is a fact rather than a feeling.
Counted from the moment you step off the gangway. The hour before all-aboard is not in this bar; it is already set aside.
15 minutes each way is the honest figure for gangjeong · taxi ~15 min, not the optimistic one. If your ship is late, cut the 1 hr 10 min in the middle. Never cut the hour at the end.
Each one is a finished day we have walked and timed, with this stop in it. Read the route rather than assembling it yourself.
Each of these still lands you back aboard with the hour to spare.
The Gangjeong women divers run a restaurant beside the southern terminal: noodle soup with the sea urchin they bring up themselves.
