1. 01
   Before Jungmun

   Check the sunset and weather window

   The municipal guide lists 9:00 AM-5:50 PM with final entry at 5:10 PM, but sunset and weather control can change the usable route.

2. 02
   Before 5:10 PM

   Enter for the multi-stage route

   Cheonjeyeon includes more than one waterfall area plus Seonimgyo Bridge. Protect enough time for stairs, viewpoints and the return rather than treating it as one quick pool.

3. 03
   At each branch

   Choose the group's turnaround

   Water volume, wet steps and mobility needs differ through the gorge. Turn around before the final closure rather than forcing every viewpoint.

• Save 천제연폭포, not 천지연폭포, in the map app; the similar English names refer to different parts of Seogwipo.
• Choose the must-see fall or bridge before descending so the group can turn back without rushing the closing clock.
• Use shoes with grip and treat wet stairs as the main mobility constraint, especially after rain or in humid weather.
• Search “서귀포 천제연폭포” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
• Recheck weather, trail or garden closures, last entry and seasonal conditions before departure.
• The catalogue coordinate is an approximate centre pin, not turn-by-turn entrance guidance.
