Spirited Garden

A Piece of Heaven on Earth

Spirited Garden is a world-renowned garden created through the tireless dedication of farmer Bum-Young Sung, who began cultivating barren land in Jeoji-ri, Hangyeong-myeon, Jeju, in 1968. Over more than five decades, his vision transformed into a unique garden where nature, art, and philosophy harmonize.

Spanning over 40,000 square meters, the garden features seven themed sub-gardens adorned with native Korean trees, meticulously cultivated bonsai, and rare natural stones and rock formations. Each garden surrounds serene ponds, open lawns, and Jeju’s signature volcanic stone walls, gates, and bridges—offering visitors a peaceful, contemplative atmosphere.

The garden’s facilities, constructed from natural basalt stone, embody the architectural beauty of Jeju’s landscape and further enhance its charm. Spirited Garden stands as a symbol of Korean aesthetics and spirit, officially designated as a National Private Garden by the Korean government.

It has welcomed countless global dignitaries, including former and current Chinese Presidents Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, and Xi Jinping—making it one of the most visited landmarks by world leaders in Korea. Remarkably, Spirited Garden and the journey of its founder are featured in China’s official 9th-grade textbook “History and Society” as a cultural inspiration and a model of Korean spirit and perseverance.

“I am deeply moved by the beauty of this garden. Congratulations on creating a piece of heaven here on Earth.”
