Jeju Island Day 2 Part 5: Nymph Baths and Waterfalls

Another bus ride later I arrived in Jungmun to see Cheonjeyeon Pokpo, a three tiered waterfall. None of the falls were particularly voluminous or tall, but they were all pretty, especially with the semi-tropical flora surrounding them. Over the gorge stretched a giant arched Bridge of the Seven Nymphs, with the nymphs pictured in white on the red girders. The nymphs served the Emperor of Heaven when he slid down moonbeams to bathe in the pools of the three part falls, which he deemed beautiful enough to serve even him. I followed the path along to each of the pools and crossed the bridge and back, then (after one false start) found my way down to the town and around a large convention center to the coast to see the rock formations there.
