[Chungcheongnam-do] Cheollipo Arboretum (천리포수목원)

Hello! Here is the detailed information for ‘Cheollipo Arboretum (천리포수목원)’.

💡 Overview

Cheollipo Arboretum is located on the tip of the Taean peninsula, and was founded by Min Byung-gal (Carl Ferris Miller), the “blue-eyed Korean.” Min purchased the land in 1962 and starting in 1970, many trees were planted in earnest. At that time, the park was only open to experts in related fields and members who helped fund the arboretum. In 2009, select sections of the arboretum were finally opened to the general public. The arboretum features more than 16,830 kinds of plants (as of October 2022), including holly, magnolia, camelia, and maple trees, as well as five varieties of Rose of Sharon, the national flower.
