I went there with my folks because they said that's where a lot of bears live. But it turned out to be a super well-maintained botanical garden? little forest! Bear Tree Park is a unique "zoo and arboretum" in Korea. It is home to Asiatic black bears, brown bears, peacocks, and deer, along with 1,000 species of flowers and trees, totaling around 400,000 specimens. The park features impressive juniper trees, centuries-old zelkova trees, and elegant pine trees that showcase its history and dedication. Bear Tree Park also offers visitor amenities like restaurants and a teddy bear shop, and it hosts various cultural events. We enjoyed a truly relaxing visit here. We also saw they have an outdoor wedding venue in preparation. If you're looking for something like this, check it out!
