#788 Tree at the Secret Garden

Tree at the Secret Garden, Seoul, South Korea

About this stone

Waddling through this royal garden feels like stepping into a calm world far from the noise of the city. Once reserved only for kings and queens, the place hosts more than three hundred species of plants, some as old as the palace itself. One of the most beautiful spots is the quiet path near an old tree close to Gwallamjeong, with branches that stretch wide over the pond. A small modern secret now waits here among the rocks—a penguin stone adding its own story to this historic landscape.
