Healing and Rest in Urban Nature... Expected to Add Vitality to Residents' Daily Lives

Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) has newly renovated Achasan Ecological Park into ‘Achasan Eoullim Garden’.

After more than 20 years, the aging of Achasan Ecological Park had become severe, but it has now been refurbished as ‘Achasan Eoullim Garden.’ The district utilized the existing terrain to create six themed gardens?Wind, Rose, Fragrance, Wadang, Stone, and Sound?transforming the ecological park into a distinctive garden.

The new natural healing space is expected to bring vitality to the daily lives of residents.

The first place visitors encounter when starting from Achasan Forest Library is the ‘Wind Garden.’ This garden, designed as an exotic grass garden by introducing sedges, allows visitors to experience the spectacle of leaves swaying whenever the wind blows.

Next, the ‘Rose Garden’ welcomes visitors with shyly blooming roses. Symbolizing love and beauty, this garden is a great spot for couples or families to take photos together against the backdrop of roses.

Additionally, visitors can enjoy the ‘Fragrance Garden,’ filled with subtle scents from introduced fragrant tree species; the ‘Wadang Garden,’ featuring a stone wall inspired by Goguryeo roof tiles excavated from Hongryeonbong Fortress, adorned with colorful flowers; and the ‘Stone Garden,’ where stones, trees, and flowers harmonize, offering a place to rest briefly.

Finally, the ‘Sound Garden’ awaits visitors. Lying on a sunbed, one can enjoy the sounds of flowing water, wind, and other natural sounds, fully appreciating Achasan with both eyes and ears while finding peace of mind.

The district has enriched the garden with resting areas and lighting facilities to allow residents to enjoy the pleasures of culture and relaxation within urban nature.
