Semiwon

Semiwon is a botanical garden in Yangpyeong that focuses on water plants and lotus flowers arranged across landscaped grounds with distinct growing zones. The space contains many plant varieties that coexist in aquatic environments and cultivated areas.

The garden was established using traditional Korean landscaping principles developed over generations in the region. The selection of native plant species reflects how horticultural practices shaped the local area throughout history.

The garden serves as a place where visitors connect with plant knowledge and understand the relationship between different species in water ecosystems. It reflects how people appreciate botanical diversity as part of their local environment and daily life.

The garden has wide paths connecting the different plant zones and is accessible for most visitors to walk through comfortably. Wear comfortable shoes and bring sun protection on warm days, as many areas have limited shade.

A walkway bridge connects the garden to Dumulmeori, where two major rivers meet and merge into a single waterway. This setting makes the location special as it sits at the junction of two river systems.
