Machine-translated from Korean. Show original

The Cheongwansan Camellia Ecological Forest is a camellia colony boasting the largest area in Korea. About 20,000 camellia trees aged 50 to 200 years naturally form a colony covering as much as 20 ha. A winding road runs along the edge of the forest, and the center of the forest stretches long along a valley. It is even more valuable because it is a natural forest formed solely of a single species, the camellia. The Cheongwansan Camellia Ecological Forest has been designated and protected as a Forest Genetic Resource Protection Forest since 2000. It was also selected as one of the '12 Beautiful Masterpiece Forests to Visit in 2021' chosen by the Gwangju-Jeonnam Integrated Special City.
