Description

Oedo Botania Island is something you can’t experience anywhere else – an intricate fusion of European and Korean styles in a semi tropical island. Strolling along the manicured gardens with strange curly topiary and bright gaudy flowers.Korea’s Oedo Botania Island, or Oedo Island is a beautiful little island nestled off the southern coast of South Korea, near Geoje Island.When the owners Changho Lee and Hosook Choi first moved there in 1973 they tried growing tangerines and farming pigs – both ventures failed. In 1976 they had an idea of creating a garden island tourist attraction. Over long and arduous years setting up the gardens from 1976 to 1994, the island was open to the public in 1995. Since then, the island has received 18 million visitors and several new additions such as a lighthouse and observatory.
