An Introduction to Baek Wun Dong Garden in Gang Jin, the one of the most representative garden in Korea

Each country had its own representative traditional garden.
In East Asia, Japanese and Chinese Gardens also have their characteristic own gardens.
Japanese gardens seemed to be well known for their deliberate composition.
And Chinese gardens were famous for their lucrative and splendid size.

Unlike those gardens, Korean traditional gardens were very nature friendly.
In my opinion, they were deeply influenced by Taoism in building gardens in Korea

One characteristic I found out was the boundary having no boundary.

It was a cold winter day when I dropped by Baek Wun Dong garden located in Gang Jin where is the southwestern area in Korean peninsular and was well known for the place of political exile.

In recent days, this garden was designated for the national monument for its historical meaning.
This garden was the cultural center for the exiled scholars in Choson dynasty.

The road to the garden was covered with the various trees.

As passing through the trees, there was a stream with the rocks.
It looked like very natural, but I heard this composition was carefully calculated for expressing natural Nature.

After several minutes of walking, I finally got to arrived at the garden.
There was a wall. And there was an area where the wall was not built.
It must be the gate without any gate.

I thought this wall was just a boundary to divide here and there not to protect this garden from something.
