A place filled with bamboo trees and Korean style houses. This place is a man-made garden from the Chosun dynasty, where intellects gathered and exchanged thoughts and ideas, as well as drink booze. Entrance fee of 2000 Won will let you experience this serene hideaway. Recommended if you are in the area.
