Why go

Cheongsong Hongwon-ri Catalpa Tree is a designated Natural Monument in Cheongsong, Gyeongsangbuk-do — a single ancient catalpa tree (gaeodong-namu) estimated to be approximately 250-300 years old, with the tree's distinctive size and age giving it the cultural-and-natural property designation. The site preserves the tree as a protected cultural-and-natural property, with interpretive context on the tree's age, the broader Korean catalpa cultural significance, and conservation context. Best for travelers seriously interested in Korean ancient tree heritage, paired with broader Cheongsong-area itineraries.
