South Island Garden in Korea

It is hard to believe that this well-kept garden is the work of just two people: fisherman Lee Chang-ho and his wife Choi Ho-suk. In 1969, after Lee's miraculous rescue during a storm on the island, the couple bought it and decided to improve it. Whimsically trimmed trees and a palisade of palm trees, cute secluded benches and terraces with postcard views, rows of shady alleys and blooming meadows - you could wander here for hours, enjoying the beauty. But the thing is that visitors to the island are limited in time. An hour and a half is given for an independent excursion, then you must leave the island on the boat that brought you here. And this is perhaps the only downside to a trip to the island, which, however, disciplines and forces such leisurely tourists as us to "mobilize". Boats to the garden island depart from several piers on Geoje Island. One of them - Jangseungpo port - is located next to the Hotel Ocean Best, which is an excellent landmark in finding the pier. Also not far from it is the bus station of the same name, where buses from Busan arrive (Seobu Intercity bus terminal). So a cruise to the island can diversify the program of visiting this city. By the way, a bonus of such a trip will be the opportunity not only to get acquainted with the island of Kozhdae, ride on cable-stayed bridges and a tunnel that connects it with the mainland, but also to see the Haegeumgang rocks, which are second in the register of natural attractions of Korea. Their pleasure boat goes around before approaching the man-made "Eden" on OEDO #oedoisland
