The reason I wanted to go back to Korea, to see
this place from That Winter, The Wind Blows, SBS and Love Rain, KBS.
On my way to Incheon last month, I was able to finish the movie, You are My Pet (last scene is also taken there).

Photos taken during my trip. You'll notice the difference between the summer and peak winter. If you have a choice, skip the post winter season, it seems that the place is dull for a visit. Most of the tree branches were covered and protected from the snow, there were no flowers in the area. The post-winter mood is sadder than autumn peak.

How to get to Jade Garden Natural Arboretum, South Korea
Go to Gyeongchun Line and drop-off at Gulbongsan Station. You either walk to the arboretum, but we preferred to take a cab heading to the garden. On you way back to the subway, request the ticket counter to call for a cab on your behalf. [Click here for directions]
