National Baekdudaegan Arboretum

Located in Chunyang-myeon, Bonghwa-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, an area of pristine nature, Baekdudaegan National Arboretum is the largest arboretum in Asia. It holds plant resources of high conservation value, display gardens, the Baekdusan tiger (the symbolic animal of the Baekdudaegan), and the Seed Vault, the world's first permanent storage facility for wild plant seeds. Stretching 1,400 km from Baekdusan Mountain to Jirisan Mountain, the Baekdudaegan is a key ecological axis where 33% of Korea's native plants grow, including 27% of its endemic plants and 17% of its rare plants. The arboretum aims to conserve and enhance biodiversity and to foster an abundant coexistence between nature and people. It also contributes to regional economic development through research on industrializing forest biological resources and Bonghwa's local biological resources.
