Garden of Morning Calm

아침고요수목원

Gapyeong, Gapyeong · 가평

Korea’s oldest private arboretum, laid out over a wooded hillside in Gapyeong, running a lighting festival from December to March that covers the whole garden.

Why it’s worth it

Most Korean gardens shut down in winter; this one becomes its main season. The chrysanthemum festival in autumn is the other reason to come.
