5.00The garden is beautiful in spring and has a unique feeling of peace. The bonsai are beautiful - but so are the thoughts shared around the paths. Glad I stopped

5.00Upon entering the gardens, you are filled with a sense of peace and calm. The quiet around you touches your soul as you walk and see the sculptures and bonsai trees. We had a chance to meet Bum-Young Sung, the founder; we found him humble and totally committed to this project.
A Garden of Zen and History

5.00Garden was beautifully laid out with lots of bonsai to look at, starting the statues, rocks, beautiful, pathways, fish, a nice place to have refreshments, with a tower that overlooked the garden so you had a really great view of the property. We met the owner of the property who, at an advanced age, was still working. It was a pleasure to see him and tell him what we thought of it; although he couldn’t understand English. I think he got the idea though. It’s well worth a visit to go to this place if you happen to be on Jeju island
Amazing
