Amid the sweltering heat of August, an outdoor spot where you can enjoy the refreshing sea breeze and lush forests is gaining attention. Located on Daebu Island in Ansan, near Seoul, Badahyanggi Arboretum is a large ecological recreation area spanning 300,000 pyeong.

The expansive scenery of the West Sea combined with various themed gardens makes it a popular destination for couple dates or family outings during the lush summer season.

The 'Sangsang Viewpoint' offers a panoramic view of the West Sea and the forest.

Perched at the top of a hill in the arboretum, the Sangsang Viewpoint is a key photo spot. As you ascend the slope, you are greeted with a breathtaking view of the cool sea and the expansive arboretum.

Thanks to its uniquely decorated uphill path and observation deck made of ceramic tiles, every angle is perfect for capturing emotional photographs. It is recommended to visit early in the morning or at sunset when the sunlight is softer.

The 'Badaneoulwon' pond features a refreshing waterside walking path.

The large pond at the center of the park, Badaneoulwon, offers a waterside garden that feels as if the waves of the sea are gently rolling. Strolling along the deck path surrounding the pond allows you to enjoy the vibrant summer atmosphere with green aquatic plants and willow trees.

The gentle waves reflecting the green foliage and the subtle sea breeze cool off the summer fatigue. It’s also an ideal spot to relax at nearby resting areas and pavilions.

The country's largest 'Rock Garden' and a refreshing waterfall.

The rock garden, featuring various unique rock formations and alpine plants, offers an exotic landscape within the arboretum. Walking along the largest rock garden trail in the country provides a chance to experience magnificent natural beauty.

Especially in the summer, the waterfall cascading down one side of the rock garden offers a refreshing escape from the heat. The combination of stone towers and flower beds makes it attractive for families with children.

With free admission, convenient parking, and nearby restaurants, it’s perfect for a day trip.

The free admission is a significant advantage, allowing visitors to explore this large natural recreation area without any burden. It is open from 9 AM to 6 PM, excluding Mondays, and features affordable public parking.

After your visit, you can easily plan a day trip that includes Bangamiri Beach, Tando Port, and the Daebu Island Kalguksu Street. The route to find good restaurants after a forest walk in August is particularly rewarding.
