[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shim Jeong-woo] The Naro-do Passenger Terminal in Bongrae-myeon, Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Song Gwi-geun) is crowded with visitors exploring Ssukseom, designated as Jeollanam-do's first private garden.

After taking a ferry from Naro-do Port and traveling about 3 minutes, visitors arrive at Ssukseom, where the scent of flowers fills the air.

Passing through a dense subtropical wind forest that has been open to the public for the first time in over 400 years, and walking about 20 minutes to the summit, visitors can find a beautiful garden where various colorful flowers are in full bloom, soothing tired eyes.

In particular, the pretty and beautiful hydrangea flowers, like the queen of summer, are in full bloom, leaving visitors in awe and their camera flashes nonstop.

Besides the beautiful flower garden, there is a lighthouse that guides the safe passage of ships at night, a charming stone wall path, a well site, and stunning natural scenery that add to the attractions.

Additionally, known as the "Cat Island," the friendly cats, who outnumber the island residents by several times and are not afraid of people, welcome the visitors.

A representative of Ssukseom said, “On weekdays, 300 to 400 tourists visit, and on weekends, the number reaches 1,500,” adding, “We will continue to expand the flower garden so that more flowers can be enjoyed.”
