Donnaeko Wonangpokpo

Donnaeko is a valley located in Seogwipo-si, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, where you can see emerald-colored river water and lush subtropical evergreen forests. It features the 5m-high Wonang Falls and a small pond, making the scenery very beautiful. Wonang Falls, which can be reached by walking about 20 minutes along a trail from the entrance of Donnaeko, has two streams of water falling. It is named Wonang Falls because a loving pair of mandarin ducks (wonang) once lived here. The ice-cold, clear water flowing down from Hallasan Mountain makes this a famous spot for cooling off and enjoying the water. On Baekjung Day (the 15th day of the 7th lunar month), it is said that bathing in the water cures all neuralgia, so the area is most crowded then. The forest path from the entrance of Donnaeko Resort to the valley, about 700m long, is densely lined with evergreen trees and has wooden benches along the way, making it ideal for forest bathing. Across from the valley entrance, about 300m away on the roadside, there are well-equipped camping grounds, parking lots, cooking facilities, and exercise facilities. Nearby, local restaurants offer Jeju specialties such as native chicken.
