Es el primer arboreto del país, que se estableció en el año 1922, cuando se instauró el proyecto forestal de Hongneung en Seúl. En este mismo arboreto se encontraba la tumba “Hongneung” de la reina Myeongseong Hwanghu (1897), la esposa del rey Gojong, de la dinastía Joseon. En la actualidad solo ha quedado una señal, porque fue trasladada a otro lugar.
Al ser el arboreto que pertenece al Instituto de Investigación Forestal de Corea, investiga y administra sistemáticamente las especies de plantas nacionales y extranjeras, realiza actividades académicas para el desarrollo del sector, y es un bosque de investigación que se esfuerza en suministrar los recursos genéticos de las plantas. Los domingos abre al público en general, y en los días de entre semana recibe a grupos de estudiantes, para que sea una actividad académica del medio ambiente y de la naturaleza, ofreciendo así la oportunidad de reflexionar y experimentar el valor del bosque.

Bukchon-ro 5-nagil 90, Jongno-gu, Seúl.
En este museo se exponen aquellos objetos y muebles antiguos recolectados en el área de Bukchon, en Seúl. Fue inaugurado en el año 2003 y tiene en exposición objetos utilizados hace cientos de años y heredados por varias generaciones, pero que han caído en desuso tras la industrialización. Entre ellos se encuentran el maetdol (molino de piedra que se utilizaba para moler granos), el jangdok (tinaja para almacenar conservas como salsa de soja, pasta de pimiento rojo, etc.) y el yogang (urinal coreano), entre ellos.
Desde antaño, la zona de Bukchon, que incluye los barrios de Wonseo-dong y Samcheong-dong, fue un área de concentración y conservación de las casas tradicionales hanok. El secreto por el que dichas casas se mantienen hasta hoy en día se debe a su estilo arquitectónico tradicional, compuesto por un depósito, el suelo de las habitaciones cubierto de madera, la buhardilla, etc. Hasta la fecha, el museo conserva aproximadamente 20,000 piezas de la vida cotidiana, pero en exposición hay entre 300 y 400.
