Just a two-hour drive from Seoul, tucked away in the tranquil village of Seorak-myeon in Gapyeong City, Gyeonggi Province, lies Gapyeong Begonia Bird Park. 

This park offers a serene space where you can spend quality time surrounded by colorful flowers, exotic birds, and friendly animals.

Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is a place where you can truly reconnect with nature and experience what real healing feels like. 

Let’s take a closer look at what makes this magical destination so special.

Gapyeong Begonia Bird Park is divided into five charming zones, each offering its own unique atmosphere:

1. Mystery Garden: The first area you’ll encounter feels straight out of a fairytale. True to its name, it sets the tone with its whimsical and enchanting design.

2. Front Yard Garden: This garden reflects the beauty of all four seasons, allowing visitors to enjoy a different scenic experience no matter when they visit.

3. Water Garden: A refreshing area where streams and lush greenery create a cool, invigorating environment. Just strolling through it will lift your spirits.

4. Flower Zone: A greenhouse filled with vibrant, fragrant begonias in full bloom. The colorful flowers and sweet scent are enough to brighten anyone’s day.

5. Bird Zone: Home to over 40 species of birds, this zone lets you get up close and even interact with these beautiful creatures. It’s a rare chance to experience birds in a semi-natural, free-flying environment. 

The highlight of your visit will undoubtedly be the unique combination of rare birds, including endangered species, and breathtaking begonias. It's a photographer’s paradise and a perfect spot for families with children. 

Step outside and you'll find another treat: a small animal farm featuring alpacas, sheep, and more. You can feed the animals and enjoy meaningful interactions, making it a delightful experience for children and a nostalgic one for adults.

Another distinctive feature of the garden is its media art exhibitions, which reinterpret nature through immersive digital experiences. Even after you’ve explored the garden, there’s still more to enjoy indoors.

Gapyeong Begonia Bird Park is a rare combination of nature, wildlife, flowers, and art. All in one magical space. 

Whether you're traveling with family, friends, or on a solo retreat, it's the ideal healing destination in Gyeonggi Province!
