Oedo Garden Island

This is a popular tourist destination in the southern part of Korea. It is maintained and owned by a private family and  was opened to the public in 1995. Choi Ho Sook and her late husband Lee Chang Ho transformed this barren island into a horticultural paradise. 1000 subtropical plants, various species of tulips, cacti, shrubs and exotic flowers can be found on this lush man-made greenery. There is a cafe, a restaurant, a chapel, and several other architectural pieces in the island.  The famous soap opera, WINTER SONATA, was filmed here.
