Hillcrestkoreais an eco-theme pack packed with special events and programs that change with the seasons to give visitors a fresh new experience each spring, summer, fall, and winter. This 3,000-pyeong, large-scale herb garden and mini theme park includes a large area of Metasequoias and the only green tea field in the Yongnam Area. [Reference]
I was monitoring gps location on maps.google on when I should get off. However, I missed the preferred stop and get off on the next stop. Good thing I choose the correct path on walking back. You'll see the woody buildings (above) from the main road.
[Admission (Garden + Zoo Zoo Land + Red Maple Road)] Weekdays: Adults 8,000 won
The area is dull since I was there too early, still few visitors then. But I was trying to catch the sun during my visit, since it has been forecast that there will be heavy rains in the afternoon.
Good to catch maple leaves changing colors which is too early for autumn on the month of July.
Guessing that these are for segregation of trash.
A place to be one with nature - multitude trees of red wood, maple, apricot, and metasequoia.
There is also a section where they promote traditional games and activities.
Lastly, I have visited the area where Jon In Sung's It's Okay, That's Love was filmed.
How to get there?
Take Bus #2 or #405 from Banwoldang Station

ReplyDeleteThank you for enjoying the photos!
DeleteThis looks like such a neat place to visit! I love the colorful trees and flowers! The trash cans are cute too!
ReplyDeleteThis culture is so far beyond ours it's always magnificent to catch a glimpse of. I loved reading this!
ReplyDeletethis is such a peaceful place! I wish I could spend there couple days ;) reminds me some national parks in the USA!
ReplyDeleteThe White Ocean
That looks beautiful and so restful and calming! Is it always so wonderfully quiet? I'm not sure if would be quite so perfect if it was too full of people!
ReplyDeleteSince it's on a provincial area (not as busy as central Seoul), with less tourists getting around, thus it's a little bit peaceful. Most of the visitors are locals actually dipping their feet on the stream - cool option to be one with nature.
DeleteThis park would definitely be perfect for filming or even just spending time there. It looks peaceful and quiet but the activities make it even lively. Catching maple leaves would be something I'd enjoy doing for sure.
ReplyDeleteOh my I always wanted to visit South Korea! The country has such a rich culture and history. And I have a big weakness for amusement parks. Hill Crest looks like the perfect place for me!
ReplyDeleteFor peace and serenity, to be one with nature. :-)
DeleteI love all of the natural vegetation there. I like being out in nature so this is my type of place. I'd love to visit there in the future.
