Jeongbang Waterfall, Coastal waterfall in Seogwipo, South Korea.

The 23-meter-high waterfall creates a powerful display as fresh water flows down granite cliffs directly into the ocean waters of Jeju Island.

Ancient Chinese inscriptions near the waterfall document the journey of Seobul, an envoy sent by Emperor Qin Shi Huang to find magical herbs.

Local traditions connect the waterfall to a dragon spirit residing beneath the waters, believed to bring rain during periods of drought.

Walking paths and wooden platforms provide multiple viewing points of the waterfall, with visitor facilities and rest areas throughout the site.

Jeongbang stands as one of the few waterfalls in Asia where fresh water cascades directly into ocean waters, creating a natural meeting of elements.
