Cheonjeyeon Irrigation Canal, Seogwipo

Built in 1908, this is a 2 km long irrigation canal cut through natural bedrock to carry the falling water of Cheonjeyeon Falls, built to overcome the natural environment of Jeju Island, where a shortage of agricultural water made paddy farming unsuitable. This agricultural water facility transformed 231,000 ㎡ of barren land around Cheonjeyeon into fertile paddy fields, though its construction came at great sacrifice to the people of Jeju. It is a facility that conveys the living conditions and agricultural environment of the people of Jeju.
