The Garden of Morning Calm

Garden of Morning Calm was founded by Mr. Han Sangkyeon in 1996. This private garden is rightfully recognized as one of the most beautiful in South Korea. The name comes from the poetic name of Korea - "Land of the Morning Calm". The founder and his team tried to introduce the natural beauty of Korea, the oriental mystique and the spirit of the Korean people to visitors.

The design of the garden focuses on curved lines, space, balance and asymmetry, unique natural beauty, classic elegance and the uniqueness of Korea.

During each of the four seasons - winter, spring, summer, autumn - you will find in the garden echoes of a particular "theme" of that season...

Peace Dam

평화의 댐 (1987-2005)

Yanggu Porcelain Museum

This area has been one of the main suppliers of porcelain since the Goryeo Dynasty. The museum offers a unique journey into the history of porcelain in Korea, showcasing samples of porcelain artworks and a functioning production facility. Visitors can also become "porcelain masters" for a while in the museum's workshop.

Yanggu: High-Quality White Clay and Porcelain
Surrounded by blue mountains and traversed by picturesque rivers, Yanggu serves as a gateway to every corner of the country and boasts deposits of high-quality white clay and pottery stone, which are essential for the production of white porcelain. The white clay from this region was so renowned for its quality that it was used to produce white porcelain for the royal family during the Joseon Dynasty, whose reign lasted around 500 years, earning the region a reputation as the sole place producing white porcelain for about 600 years, until the 1970s, from the end of the Goryeo Dynasty.

Yanggu's Heritage
The Yanggu Porcelain Museum began its work in June 2006, aiming to preserve the history of white porcelain production in the region, study Yanggu's white clay, and find ways to use it to meet contemporary needs. The Yanggu Porcelain Museum offers a variety of exhibitions and programs inspired by the slogan: "Yanggu Porcelain: The Source of Joseon Porcelain! Yanggu Clay: The Heart of Joseon Porcelain!"
