There wasn't a lot of people there and I really felt like we got the whole place to ourselves. Everything there was so beautiful. And I got tl feed the fish which was a treat. I sat in the Healing Chair and as I was just taking it all in, there was a gust of wind and I felt so re...

A beautiful garden area which is the lovechild of the famous Bum-young Sung who was there in the information center on my visit. We were lucky enough to meet him. The garden is a blend of pond, bonsai, sculpture, tropical plants and a beautiful waterfall. The pond houses a wealth of carp which can be fed for a small fee. Books are for sale as well as souvenirs, and a cafe is near the entrance. Ple...

I couldn’t recommend this place enough. We got tickets off Klook for less than £7 per person which we thought was incredible value. The whole place is so thoughtfully designed, beautiful and tranquil. There are signs all around sharing wisdom, poetry and history which added to the experience.

It was a very nice relaxing time. The gardens are really beautiful. They had 2 lovely koi ponds (you can buy bag of food for the for 1000 won) and many more bonsai trees, they were really amazingly large and old. This 1 is the largest bonsai I have ever seen. Also very interesting display of petrified wood; amazingly large specimens. Well worth the small admission price.
