Semiwon, a beautiful water garden
Semiwon is a natural purification garden of water plants.
The name "Semiwon" comes from the words of Zhuangzi, which states
that "one can cleanse his mind by looking at water and enlighten his
spirit by looking at flowers." Semiwon is home to hundreds of different
varieties of water lilies, including lotus flowers, and irises and they bloom
all year round. Wherever you look and wherever you go, you will be surrounded
by water and flowers at Semiwon. The garden is also decorated under different
themes and one of them is Yusanggoksu garden, where our ancestors enjoyed
reading poems and singing songs as they floated their drinks onto the flowing
water around the garden.
