Things to do in Gojaedo, Somaemuldo | 2015 Wow Korea Supporters ( Day 2)

So we started the day in Gojae Island. From there, we took a boat ride to Oedo, which is a private island owned by a Korean couple.

Oedo-Botania is a marine botanical garden located in Hallyeo Maritime National Park, which has a beautiful view of the crystal blue South Sea and surrounding landscape. It is 4 kilometers away from Geojedo Island. About 20 minutes by ship from Gujora Port, past Naedo Island lies the European-like Oedo Island.

 

We took a lot of pictures in the European-like botanic garden with the beautiful sea landscape. There are also a lot of sculptures and basically its a really nice place for tea!

However, there is an admission fee to enter the botanical garden, but for those who loves plants and enjoy nature, its definitely worth it to go there!!

This trip was really awesome as we had to take lots of boat rides (beware for those who get seasick like me!), I had a lot of fun during this trip and being a part of the 2015 Wow Korea Supporters definitely gave me an opportunity to open my eyes and learn so much more about Korea and its culture.
