Jeju Island Attractions - Jusangjeolli Cliff
The so-called columnar jointing refers to the vertical joints that appear in basaltic lava, most of which are polygonal (generally pentagonal or hexagonal). It is the result of magma erupting from the volcano, flowing into the coast of Seogwipo, and rapidly cooling upon contact with seawater, causing contraction. The columnar jointing here reaches a height of 30 to 40 meters and a width of about 1000 meters, making it the largest in scale in South Korea.
On the columnar jointing belt in Seogwipo City, Jeju-do, stone pillars can be seen stacked layer upon layer along the coast. This is a natural monument of Jeju Island. The columnar jointing belt was formed when the lava from Hallasan Mountain flowed into the sea in front of the Chinese region and cooled, consisting of stone pillars of various sizes, square or hexagonal (30 meters). In the past, this area was administratively called 'Jisatgae', hence the name is still retained, and these stone pillars are referred to as 'Jisatgae Rocks'.
This place is also famous for the spectacular waves hitting the cliffs nearly 20 meters high and for sea fishing. Walking more than 600 meters southwest from a seaside village called Daepo-dong, a cliff appears among the pine trees. On the cliff is the Jisatgae coast, and on the coast are the stone pillars. The columnar jointing is four to six-sided, as if carved by a stonemason, creating a picturesque scene that truly marvels at the grandeur of nature. Here, when the waves are rough, they can reach up to 10 meters high, presenting a magnificent spectacle of the surging waves hitting the shore.

Took a few shot of this grand waterfall in jeju. If you get closer to it, the dropples would fall on u and that's one of the best experience one would wish to have I reckon. You could get to here via kao kao local taxi app and it's not expensive.
It was a beautiful space. It was good to take a walk while looking at the beautiful sea. There are many museums and experience centers that you can walk to. There are also many hotels nearby. It is also convenient to travel by bus.
Column joints are natural special landscapes formed by volcanic orogeny (ejection). The world is more famous as the giant ladders of Jeju Island and Ireland. Wuhu is currently found in a large piece. The overall feeling is better (convenient arrival) and good to take pictures. When the weather is good, you can take a beautiful photo. I was lucky to have a rainy day.
The classic columnar joint belt is just beside the Convention and Exhibition center. It can't be seen on the roadside because it overlooks the scenic spots. Follow the navigation for ten minutes and you can go to the ticket office. It's 2000 won. You can also follow the Chinese tourist area to play together. Ten years ago, because I like reading geography magazines, I saw it in a world geographic wonder. Ten years later, I am here to witness its volcanic lava and the perfect works of art of the sea! Special recommendation is worth going!
After visiting the museum from the Chinese tourist area, taking the airport bus 600 to the Jizhou International Conference Center, walking along the trestle road for 5 minutes, through a small coconut forest, to the columnar joint zone, volcanic eruption of high-temperature lava meets the cold sea water and forms pillars of different sizes piled up on the coast, listening to the sound of the shock waves hitting the cliff, I can not help but admire the ghosts and axes of nature. Work, it's amazing. Several aunts at the entrance of the scenic spot sell oranges which are rich in Jeju Island. They are slightly sour, but they do have orange fragrance. Maybe it will be delicious in a while. From the columnar joints, you can also visit the African Museum opposite.
