Ecoland, Theme park in Jeju, South Korea
Ecoland is a theme park within the Gotjawal forest featuring multiple zones connected by pathways and attractions spread throughout the natural woodland. A steam locomotive train operates through the grounds, carrying visitors past diverse forest areas and landscape features.
The park was developed to both protect the Gotjawal forest and provide public access to the natural landscape. The locomotive design draws from historical English railway models, blending heritage transportation with contemporary recreation.
The park displays traditional Jeju architecture nestled within the forest, where visitors see the mix of northern and southern plant species coexist. This diversity reflects how the Gotjawal forest has long connected people and nature in this region.
The grounds feature clearly marked pathways and access points to help visitors navigate easily. The best times to visit are during milder seasons when the weather is pleasant and the forest vegetation is clearly visible.
The Gotjawal forest holds substantial water reserves beneath its surface and maintains stable climate conditions that support rare plant and animal life. These hidden water stores make the forest an ecological wonder that developed over thousands of years.
