Sanghwawon Garden (Jukdo)
죽도 상화원
A Korean-style garden on Jukdo island, with a 2-kilometer wooden covered corridor built around the island. Walk beneath its roof and enjoy the sea views.
Sanghwawon is located on Jukdo island in Nampo-myeon. The island is connected to the mainland by a sea embankment and was built privately over several decades. The entire island is encircled by about 2 kilometers of Korean-style roofed corridor. Along the way are relocated traditional Korean houses, stone sculpture gardens and pavilions with sea views. The corridor keeps visitors out of sun and rain, making it ideal for a leisurely walk along the West Sea. Admission is about 8,000 won, including refreshments. It is generally open only on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, and it closes in winter, so check official notices. It is about a 15-minute drive from Daecheon Beach.
