The Greatest Fantastic Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe

The Victoria Falls lie in between Zambia and Zimbabwe in Southern Africa. The falls are part of two national parks, Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park in Zambia and Victoria Falls National Park in Zimbabwe.
The Victoria Falls are just over 1 mile wide (1.7 km) and 355 feet (108 m) high. During the wet season over 500 million liters (19 million cubic feet) of water plummets over the edge into the Zambezi River. This incredible amount of water generates a huge amount of spray which shoots 1000 feet into the sky and can be seen 30 miles away, hence the name Mosi-oa-Tunya (Smoke that thunders).

The unique geography of the falls means you can watch them face-on and get to enjoy the full force of the spray, noise and spectacular rainbows that are always present. The best time to view the Victoria Falls is during the rainy season from March to May, when they are at their most impressive.

Fantastic Jeongbang Waterfall on Jeju Island, South Korea

asiarooms.com: Among the many tourist attractions of Jeju the Jeongbang Waterfall is one you should definitely not miss. It is often attributed as the only waterfall in Asia which falls directly into the sea. However this claim is disputable. The waterfall at an altitude of 23 meters is a picturesque sight indeed especially with cliffs, the sea, and several small islands offshore. The Jeongbang Waterfall is located near Seogwipo and is considered to be “Yeongjusipgeong” that loosely translates to one of the ten greatest scenic wonders of Jeju.

There is a fascinating legend about the Jeongbang Waterfall in Jeju which adds to the charm of this famous sightseeing location. It is said that the Emperor Jin of China sent his servant Seo Bul out in search of magical herbs which would help the Emperor gain eternal youth. The servant went to Mt Halla in search of these magical herbs and encountered the Jeongbang Falls on his way. Compelled by the beauty and grandeur of this place he inscribed his signature on the cliff walls. Unfortunately (or may be obviously, for it is after all a legend) the signature cannot seen anymore. The waterfall is one of the three famous waterfalls of Jeju, the other two being Cheonjiyeon Waterfall and Cheonjeyeon Waterfall.

If you go east for about 300 meters from the Jeongbang Waterfall you will see another waterfall called Sojeongbang Waterfall. A visit to this destination is an ideal way to beat the summer heat. There is an observatory at the top of the cliff, from which you can command a fine view of the sea.
