HI THERE my favorite readers!
I’m back with a (in my opinion) very enjoyable
blogpost. I wish that you could have all been there as well!
So on our last evening in South Korea, we decided to
visit this place called ‘Garden of Morning Calm’: 아침고요수목원 . It was easily to reach and not far from Seoul. I
don’t know about you but when I first heard that name I was thinking that it
would be the perfect spot to visit in the morning when you’re still a bit
sleepy but apparently it is very impressing at night as well. And so we agreed,
we were at the right place at the right time of the year: the annual light
festival. The whole garden was covered in lights, it felt like we were
surrounded by stars which covered all the trees, leaves, flowers,… And there
were not only trees but also angels and animals (not real animals of course).
I’m so glad that we decided to come here despite the cold and windy weather.
Someday however I’ll come again to this garden in the morning to see it in
daylight.
The arboretum (A
place where an extensive variety of woody plants are cultivated for scientific,
educational, and ornamental purposes) is composed of 10 theme-based gardens.
About 1,000 different kinds of flowers and plants each season. The first garden
you see when you enter the arboretum is the Korea Garden, this area feels like
the backyard of someone’s house. The next garden is the Wild Flower Garden,
which has a collection of various Korea wild flowers, and then the Bunjae
Garden, which has potted plants grown into works of art. The most popular
tourist attraction is the Hagyeong Garden which has an observation tower from
which you can see the entire arboretum (very impressive). The Morning Square at
the center of the arboretum is an open grass field with a great view all
around. The evergreen tree which appeared in the movie “Pyeonji” is here, and
the place has a very spacious atmosphere.
mist.
The flowers
are in bloom from March to November, so the garden is usually full during this
period. In addition to the
beautiful foliage of the garden, there are a variety of festivals each season
and displays held monthly.
The arboretum is beautiful all throughout the year,
but it’s most impressive when you stroll around the gardens in the morning
Write to you soon!
