Today we decided to set out for a drive around the
island, planning to stop in at a few sights along the way. Our first stop was
Sanbangsan Biweon, and it was so big and beautiful we spent the day there.
Sanbangsan Biweon is a mountain with 20 private gardens built into the side of
it. By private I don’t mean privately owned, I mean that from one garden you
cannot see another. You can only just hear people through the foliage, it’s
really peaceful. You could take a picnic and a book and relax there all day,
wandering from one garden to the next. Every so often you come across a swing,
most are padded and adult friendly. You can just sit in them, take in the
beautiful sights and watch the world go by. Adrian and I loved it there and
said many times that we’ll return.
Here are some photos. You’ll see that all the gardens are
manicured but still hold that lush and natural feeling. I loved that there was
so much to see and so many places to stop and enjoy that even though the walk
was steep it still felt relaxing.
There were two restaurants within the gardens, we stopped
at the second and had a delicious lunch. The people next to us had their lunch
too and then snoozed in the comfy seats. I felt like I could’ve done the same
but Adrian is a bit of an energizer bunny so there was only so much relaxing I
could ask him to do. J
It was such a nice way to start our exploration of Geoje;
we’re looking forward to seeing a lot more of what this beautiful place has to
offer.
Write soon xx
