About
Yulgok Arboretum was created to conserve, propagate and display plant genetic resources, on the site of a city-owned forest that had been well tended through afforestation projects in the 1960s. It opened temporarily in June 2015 and officially opened in June 2021.
There are 21 themed plant gardens, with about 1,300 species and roughly 300,000 plants. Forest programs for young children and healing programs for people up to their 80s are also offered.
The 5 km trail around the arboretum includes an observatory overlooking the Imjin River, the Solhyanggi path and Munbawi rock, and the site is close to the historic sites of Yulgok Yi I and Hwang Hui.
