Love Tree on Seongheung Mountain

Korean name: 부여 가림성

Chungnam

Buyeo Garimseong is a mountain fortress on Seongheungsan (260.1 m), said to date from the Baekje era. From the summit you can look out over the lower Geumgang River and the countryside, and the zelkova known as the Love Tree makes a nice photo spot.

About

As you climb the stairs running alongside the rocky cliff, you’ll see a massive tree standing tall atop a stone wall. This zelkova tree, over 400 years old, has grown a uniquely heart-shaped branch, earning it the nickname “Love Tree.

” With its half-heart-shaped branches and having stood in the same spot for over 400 years—leading to its designation as a Natural Monument in 2021—the Love Tree attracts countless tourists every year. With this tree as a backdrop, it has gained popularity as a filming location for various TV dramas.
