Gwanghalluwon Garden, Traditional garden in Namwon, South Korea.
Built on a spacious landscape, Gwanghalluwon Garden features traditional Korean pavilions, walking paths, and a central pond reflecting the surrounding trees.
The garden was constructed in 1419 during King Sejong's reign of the Joseon Dynasty by Hwanghee Jeongseung and received its current name in 1444.
The garden serves as the setting for the first encounter between Lee Mong-ryong and Chunhyang, central characters in a significant Korean folk narrative.
Visitors can access the garden daily from 8:00 to 20:00, with admission fees of 2,500 won for adults and reduced rates for children and teenagers.
Every May 5th, the Chunhyangjae Festival transforms the garden into a celebration ground, commemorating the tale of Lee Mong-ryong and Chunhyang.
