Description
This subtropical forest is located around Cheonjeyeon Falls at the valley 500m away from Jungmun-dong, Seogwipo-si. In this place, the trees acclimated in the subtropical climate belt formed a forest. In the middle of the forests is Cheonjeyeon Falls, which is 23m high. Legend has it that nymphs used to take a bath in this waterfall. The subtropical forest near Cheonjeyeon Falls is valuable for scientific research because of the warm temperate plants and rare plants. Therefore, it has been designated and conserved as a Natural Monument.
