Garden of Morning Calm
A large themed arboretum near Gapyeong, glorious with flowers by day and lights in winter.
Why go
The Garden of Morning Calm is one of Korea's oldest private arboretums, set in the hills near Gapyeong with themed gardens spread across a wooded slope.
Each season brings a different show — spring and autumn flowers, lush summer greenery, and a famous Lighting Festival that drapes the grounds in lights through the colder months.
It pairs naturally with Nami Island for a full day out of Seoul.
