Discovering Il-Yeob-Cheong: A Unique Succulent Experience in Gochang
Hello! Today, I would like to introduce Il-Yeob-Cheong, a succulent experience center located near the beautiful tourist attractions of Gochang.
Il-Yeob-Cheong Succulent Experience Center
As we near the end of a cold winter, Gajomyeon in Gochang has become a hot tourist spot. There are many must-visit places in Gajang, including the thrilling Y-shaped swinging bridge, the rejuvenating Anti-Aging Healing Land, and the ancient temple, Gokyeonsa! After a hearty walk, I recommend warming up at Gajang Hot Springs or enjoying leisurely time at the Gajang Hot Springs Flower Park (open from September to November) or the foot bath experience center (open from March to November). Don't forget to visit the fragrant Herb Village, especially in June when the lavender is in full bloom.
However, today I want to introduce you to a place that offers a deeper sense of 'rest.' It's Il-Yeob-Cheong, where you can experience planting succulents.
After enjoying the tourist attractions in Gajang, be sure to stop by this unique place.
At Il-Yeob-Cheong, when you arrive home with your lovingly crafted succulent pot, it will not just be a simple plant but a lifelong companion that brings joy to your life.
What are succulents? For those new to the concept, succulents are plants that have adapted to survive in dry environments, such as deserts or high mountains, by storing large amounts of water in their stems, leaves, or roots.
Succulent 'Heeseong': Named for its layered leaves that resemble rare stars in the night sky.
• Wisdom of Survival: The thick and plump leaves serve as a 'water reservoir.'
• CAM Photosynthesis: Unlike typical plants, they absorb carbon dioxide at night, providing oxygen while you sleep, making them perfect for your bedroom.
• Resilient Life: Even a single leaf can take root and grow, making them ideal for beginners.

The value of healing you gain from the succulent experience at Il-Yeob-Cheong goes beyond just planting. Here are three joys I experienced:
Il-Yeob-Cheong allows you to create various atmospheres depending on the pot you choose for your succulent.
• Sensory Gardening Therapy: Touching soft potting soil and selecting small pebbles stimulates the brain and reduces stress. This activity serves as fine motor exercise for seniors and teaches children the importance of life.
• Express Your Artistic Sense: Il-Yeob-Cheong offers a variety of shapes and colors of succulents, from rose-like varieties to fluffy ones! Arranging your favorite succulents in a beautiful pot creates a unique piece of art.
• Emotional Resilience: Caring for plants is akin to caring for oneself. Filling the pot with soil and securing the succulents clears the mind and brings peace.
After the experience, the succulent you take home becomes part of your family, a 'companion plant.'
• Emotional Connection: Talking to your plant, like saying, "Isn't the weather nice today?" nurtures it with love. Having something to care for brings vitality to everyday life.
Even when the cold wind blows outside, the greenhouse is warm and inviting.
• Indoor Environment Improvement: They act as natural humidifiers, block electromagnetic waves, and purify the air, making them perfect for your living room or desk.
• Joy of Growth: Watching your succulent grow steadily teaches the 'aesthetics of waiting.' If it's a flowering variety, the joy is even greater.
Il-Yeob-Cheong is a place where children's imaginations and dreams grow.
The highlight of the experience comes after planting. Once you've completed your pot, you can enjoy a warm cup of tea prepared with care by the owner.
Sipping tea while gazing at the landscape of Gajang fields outside the greenhouse feels like nourishing our hearts, just as we water the newly planted succulent.
As you share stories over fragrant tea, the fatigue of your journey will fade away, allowing you to experience true relaxation.
With the clear air of Gajang, the succulents of Il-Yeob-Cheong, and a warm cup of tea, this spring trip will surely be a success. Come to Gochang to find peace for your body and mind.
