green hanbat arboretum park

Daejeon Hanbat Arboretum Park is a vast and diverse public park with green and well-being facilities.

This Arboretum Park occupies the central part of Daejeon Government Complex and Expo Science Park.

After having a great time at KIGAM Geological Museum, I was curious and excited to visit Daejeon Arts Center. And I just realized that Daejeon Arboretum Park is at the heart of all high places in the city.

This Arboretum park is being surrounded by things about arts and science. Such facilities include Daejeon Arts Center, Pyeongsong Youth Cultural Center, Daejeon City Art Museum, Lee Eungno Museum, and Daejeon Expo Park.

As the most significant 'man-made' arboretum, it is being utilized as well as educational space and facility for the youth. Besides, it serves as a green relaxation space for the locals and visitors.

The arboretum park is composed of...

Seawan (West Garden - north of City Art Museum)
Dongwan (East Garden - north of Pyeongsong Education Hall)
19 themed gardens, such as Nammun Square, flower gardens including rose, magnolia; herbal garden, rock garden, fruit tree garden, and more.

You may enter into the park from 6 AM up to 9 PM during summertime (from April to September), and only from 8 AM up to 7 PM during cold and wintertime (from October to March).

Overall, I love the place.
