Cheonjeyeon Waterfall (or Chonjeyon Waterfall), not to be confused with the Cheonjiyeon Waterfall, is a series of three waterfalls located on Jeju-do. Cheonjeyeon means Pond of the Heaven's Emperor. According to Korean legend, nymphs would descend from the heavens at night and bathe in the waterfall's pond. The first waterfall starts from a 22 meter high cliff and forms the Cheonjeyeon pond which is 21 meters deep. The water continues over the second and third waterfalls unitil it reaches the ocean. The falls are a popular tourist attraction on Jeju-do. Around the falls are rare plants such as the sulipnan reeds. The waterfall is one of the three famous waterfalls of Jeju, the other two being Cheonjiyeon Waterfall and Jeongbang Waterfall.

Above the falls is Seonimgyo Bridge, which signifies the legend of Cheonjeyeon.
