| Description |
Oedo Island Marine Tourism is a marine botanical garden located in Hallyeo
Haesang National Park, which has a beautiful view of the clean South Sea and
surrounding landscape. It is 4 km away from Geojedo Island. About 20 minutes on
ship from Gujora Port, past Naedo Island, you can reach Oedo Island. In 1969,
Lee Chang-Ho first came to this island to escape from the wind and waves when he
was fishing. He and his wife made this tourist farm with all their heart for 30
years. The forest is 264 square km, is covered with camellias and full of other
exotic plants such as cact, and palm trees. In April, the island gets covered
with yeonsan flowers. The Venus Garden that seems to look like miniature of
Versailles, displays twelve sculptures here and western style gardens. At the
Paradise Lounge, you can enjoy sunshine and the cool sea while sipping on a
beverage. At the Flowering Plant Complex next to the theme park, there are
camellias and various kinds of rare flowers from all over the world. The
Sculpture Amusement Park leads to the child's heart, because it has sculptures
of Korean traditional folk games such as kicking shuttlecocks, a mock cavalry
battle the ‘Paradise Stairs’ had many visitors after the site was shown in Korea
soap operas. Walking on these stairs will make you feel like you are in paradise
because the Chinese juniper tree belt is well organized with tapestries and
there are many kinds of flowers and tress along stairs.
