Daepo Haean Jusangjeolli Cliff

Reviewed By raghu67 - Bengaluru, India

One can have a magnificient view of basalt stone pillars formed along the coast due to sudden cooling and solidification of the Lava which flowed into the sea. The sudden contraction of molten lava due to the cooling effect of water has resulted in these rocks splitting into polygonal columns and forming a coast of almost 2 km long. This attraction is worth the visit and can be reached directly by trekking from Cheonjeyeon falls or taking a bus and pass thru the garden (Jusangjeollidae Promenade) and then reach the cliff at the end. Walking around the garden would be relaxing and one should not miss it. Wooden Platforms have been built to reach the end of the cliff and for a better view of the coastal line.

Moak Mountain

Reviewed By jaswaydav - Jeonju, South Korea

This is a great hike that is very close to Jeonju. I take my dog there and she loves to get to the top! There are different routes to take for different types of hikers. One of the hikes starts at Geumsansa Temple, and that is a beautiful temple if you want to spend more time in the mountains.

Hwangwooji Coast

Reviewed By davelirium

On a family trip, my fiance and I had one day to ourselves and we ended up here for a couple hours. We love being near water, so this was an easy choice for us. The natural pools were so clear and beautiful, even though it was November and cold we went into the water and enjoyed freezing our butts off from the water and wind. Still such a fun and unique experience we'll never forget. Because we came in November there were only a handful of people that came and went. We definitely recommend checking this place out for a hour or so. I imagine it can get pretty busy during the summer time but youd get to enjoy the water much more. Even in the cold weather it's worth just checking out if you're around the area.
