Yeongyang Seoseokjji is the representative pond of the garden of private house in the Joseon dynasty period, and it is close to Seonbawi rock tourism area. 400 years old ginkgo tree at the stone wall next to the entrance of the park welcomes tourists.


Seoseokjji has been selected to one of three major Korean parks along with Booyongwon in Wando, Jeollanam-do and Soswaewon garden in Damyang, Jeollanam-do. It is elegant and awesome. Not only that, Seoseokjji is precious material for landscape architect study of Korea.






The shape of Seoseokgun is different from the water level of the pond.


60 rocks come into view over the pond, and 30 rocks are submerged under the water. Seockmun Jeongyeongbang, the owner of the pond, named the stones, including his Confucian concept and Taoistic desire. The ancestors of Korea hopes the unity of human and the nature.


Kyeong jeong is located between Seoseokjji, and Juiljae is located on the left side of the front gate.


The owner of the pond tried to think of fidelity of classical scholars by building Saudan around Seoseokjji, and planting pine tree, bamboo, apricot tree and chrysanthemum.


You can overlook the old houses of the village beyond the low wall over Seoseokjji.


The garden is separated into inside and outside. The artificial inside garden was the place for meditation and reading. Outside garden was made to use the nature as a garden. Beautiful folding screen rocks are located in front of the outside garden.


I can understand the life of ancestors who dreamed of being content amid poverty and taking pleasure in acting in an honest way. You can realize the dream in Seoseokjji.
