Midongsan Arboretum is located in the lower part of the valley of Midongsan Mountain, 557.5m above sea level, and Midongsan is named because it is a mountain in the east of Miwon-myeon, Sangdang-gu, Cheongju-si. This place has created 51 general and specialized centers, including the Rose Garden, to preserve and manage a total of 593 species of 310,000 plants.
In addition, there are the Forest Science Museum, Nandae Botanical Garden, Succulent Botanical Garden, insectivorous aerial botanical garden, wood culture experience center, and forest environmental ecology hall, providing attractions and rich experiences. There is a fun forest playground infant forest experience center for infants, including a forest commentary program that informs the importance and gratitude of the forest with fun plant stories, and a forest education center that operates forest healing and education programs such as home gardening and tree doctor training, so you can get closer to the forest.

My hometown(Gubang-ri) where I was born and raised is nearby, so I personally really like this arboretum. When I go there, I feel like I'm back in my childhood. Whenever I visit my hometown, I take my children there and tell them about my childhood. I hope my children will also see and experience the arboretum and get a good influence.

The forest is a new living space where people and nature communicate, and it is said that people who have had positive experiences in nature in their childhood live a relaxed and happy life. Please feel a full rest at Midongsan Arboretum, the only public arboretum in Chungcheongbuk-do where you can enjoy beautiful natural scenery and forest ecology all year round. Thank you for reading. :D
