At a glance

Two main paths wind up through Jade Garden from the ticket office to the Gardener's Cottage and Sky Garden at the top: a wood-chip path through the middle that reaches the gardens easily, and a leafy forest path that stays cool in summer. Along them, 24 themed gardens fill about 163,500 m² of hillside where the natural terrain was kept as far as possible; an English border garden, an Italian wedding garden with water channels and a Tuscan-style visitor center at the gate carry the 'little Europe in the forest' theme. The arboretum opened in 2011, and the Honeybee Cottage cafe and the Studio Jade gift shop are on the way.

Tips

• 01
  In summer, take the shady Supsok Baram-gil (forest wind path) up; the wood-chip Namu Naeeum-gil is easier for dipping into the themed gardens.
• 02
  Last entry is at 17:00, and the walk to the top and back can take two hours, so arrive early in the afternoon at the latest.
