Bijarim Forest, Natural monument forest in Jeju, South Korea

The Bijarim Forest contains over 2,800 Japanese nutmeg trees spread across 110,000 square meters of protected land on Jeju Island.

The forest's Japanese nutmeg trees have grown on this site for 500 to 800 years, making it the largest single-species forest of its type.

Local residents gather in the forest throughout the year to participate in seasonal ceremonies that connect them with their natural heritage.

Visitors can choose between two marked trails through the forest: a 40-minute wheelchair-accessible path or an 80-minute extended route.

The forest's ancient trees release phytoncide, a natural substance that influences blood circulation patterns in the human body.
