Sayouwon (사유원)

Explanation

Sayouwon, a calm place for contemplation, has old trees that have endured the test of time, stone statues created from the heart, and beautiful architecture.

Experts from different fields, such as architects Hyo-sang Seung, Alvaro Joaquim de Melo Siza Vieira, and Wook Choi, as well as landscape architect Young-sun Jung and calligrapher Wei Liang joined together to create this arboretum. The Soyoheon (art pavilion), Myeongjeong, and Pungseol Gicheonyeon are well-known here. Visitors are required to make a reservation on the website before visiting.
