Mokseogwon

About 6km south of Jeju-si, Mokseogwon is both a garden and art park with oddly shaped rocks and gnarled roots. It's a labour of love, put together over many years by a local resident, and if your switch is flipped 'on', you could find it a wondrous place.

Installations are creations of wood and stone (Mokseogwon translates as 'Wood-stone garden'). Some are fanciful, some meaningful, some beautiful, some weird, and all comprise objects found around the island. Look for the apocryphal story of a couple and their life together told via trees and rocks. Many of the works are made from the roots of the jorok (yew) tree, which symbolises longevity and is found only on Jejudo.

To reach Mokseogwon, take the city bus 500 (around ₩850, 30 minutes, every 15 minutes) bound for Jeju National University - pick it up along Jungangno.
