WHAT YOU WILL VISIT:
Yeomiji Botanical Garden
A truly magnificent botanical garden, Yeomiji means "a beautiful land," and its incredibly lavish indoor and outdoor landscaping displays live up to its name. There are more than 2,000 rare tropical and subtropical plants housed in three acres of glass greenhouse, anchored by a central 38-meter-tall observation tower. Step through the doors and into a wonderland of manicured grounds, 24 acres of replica gardens from around the world, including Korean, Japanese, Italian and French, as well as fragrant herb gardens and sparkling water features. A charming little train meanders through the garden areas and offers a panoramic view of the grounds.

Yakcheonsa Temple
Surrounded by lush trees and foliage, ornate Yakcheonsa Temple was built in 1981 and constructed in the style of the early Joseon Dynasty. A landmark of Seogwipo City, the temple is the largest in Asia and stands an impressive 98 feet (30 meters) tall. Step inside to the main hall and note the drum tower and the bell tower, as well as an 18-ton bell and the 16-foot (5-meter) tall Vairocana Buddha, which proudly sits on a pedestal flanked by large rattan flowers and golden dragons. The structure also holds residential quarters for the monks, and the grounds contain charming stone statues and meditative views. A mineral-water spring flows year-round, and the name of the temple is derived from the Korean word for "divine waters with healing powers."
