About
Sayouwon, a calm place for contemplation, has old trees that have endured the test of time, stone statues created from the heart, and beautiful architecture. It goes beyond a simple arboretum as you can look around the area, reflect upon yourself, and engage in deep thinking -- a true garden for contemplation. Experts from different fields, such as architects Hyo-sang Seung, Alvaro Joaquim de Melo Siza Vieira, and Wook Choi, as well as landscape architect Young-sun Jung and calligrapher Wei Liang joined together to create this arboretum. The Soyoheon (art pavilion), Myeongjeong, and Pungseol Gicheonyeon are well-known here. Visitors are required to make a reservation on the website before visiting.
