    The Spirited Garden is actually a collection of 7 smaller gardens, each filled with pretty flora and water features. While this area is now a wonderful spot for peaceful contemplation, it was originally barren and rocky. The creation of the garden was the work of 1 man, founder Seong Beom-yeong. More than 400 trees and various native Korean plants are planted in this garden.

    The Spirited Garden is themed around a natural volcanic stone. There's also a manmade waterfall that flows into a pond filled with koi fish. Visit the onsite café to try homemade roasted coffee and Jeju pork sausages, with an excellent view of the gardens.

It’s been designated as Korea’s Natural Monument No. 420, as well as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s a popular spot among locals and visitors.
