Jade Garden Visitor Guide — Seasonal Wonderland in Gangwon
Discover Jade Garden, a European-style botanical paradise in Chuncheon. Explore themed gardens, enjoy year-round beauty, and relax amidst nature's artistry.
Jade Garden is an exotic arboretum established with the theme of “small Europe in the forest.” It was built on an area of 163,500 m2 by keeping its natural topography and establishing 24 themed gardens. This European-style arboretum comprises Italy’s Tuscan-style Visitor Center at the entrance, English Border Garden, and Italian Wedding Garden built with Italian style of garden and waterway. It also has three walking paths -Namunaeum-gil, Danpungnamu-gil, Supsokbaram-gil. Namunaeum-gil in the middle of the arboretum is paved with woodchips and has good accessibility to the theme gardens. Danpungnamu-gil located at a high ground is a quiet trail, while Supsokbaram-gil is surrounded by thick trees and an ideal walking path in the summer season. Each walking path requires 40 to 60 minutes each way, and they are connected in the middle of the trails. Each path begins from the Visitor Center and ends at the White Garden or Sky Garden at the top of the arboretum. Visitors can take a rest at a cafe, restaurant, and souvenir shop. The nighttime operation is available depending on the season, and the shuttle bus runs between Gulbongsan Station of the Gyeongchun Line and the Arboretum.
Why Jade Garden matters
The garden is organized into various themed areas, each offering a different experience. Visitors can wander through fragrant herb gardens, admire the reflections in tranquil water gardens, or stroll along tree-lined promenades that evoke classic European estates.
Navigating Jade Garden is a pleasure, thanks to its thoughtfully designed woodland trail. This main path winds through the heart of the garden, conveniently connecting all the major themed areas and viewpoints.
