Art and Beaching in South Korea: Boryeong

For one, it has some nicely done up ponds with boating for children. The other thing is it has black stone statues all over the place. The founder of this park was Lim Hang-youl who was a quarrying business owner, and he wanted sculptors from all over the world. His dream is kind of true, and since then, a number of international artists have been invited, from sculptors and painters to artists to come to the park every year and produce works. In fact, even a Pakistani artist,  Abdul Jabber Gull has exhibited his work there, and spent one month in Boryeong, where he carved out his sculpture from the black granite stone of the Boryeong Mountains. 

Besides the international art, there is also a herbarium housed in the park. It is better known as "Herb Land" and consists of a large greenhouse, with a wide array of fruit trees, aquatic plants, and some fish and insects floating inside. Its not an aquarium, or a place where information will be widely available but makes for a pleasant walk.
