The Garden Of The Morning Calm - South Korea
One of the prettiest gardens cultivated in Korea, and the oldest private garden in existence in the country, The Garden of The Morning Calm can be found off the beaten path in Gyeonggi-do and is based on a poem by Indian writer Sir Tagore who wrote that Korea in the Joseon era was "the land of the morning calm". The park was conceptualized by a Professor Han Sang Kyung from Sahmyook University while he was serving as an exchange teacher in America. His vision was to create a garden that would become world-famous and spread the concept of Korean beauty throughout the world. There are 5000 kinds of plants including 300 varieties native to Baekdusan Mountain, known as a spiritual mountain to the Korean people. Flowers are in full bloom from March to November, so if you plan a trip there keep that in mind.

Imagine if the entire world was this beautiful,
how kinder we would all be to each other ...
like we would have been if sin hadn't
entered the Garden Of Eden ...
