Camellia – the beautiful name is circulated among tourists. With elegant and gentle camellia flowers make the flower lovers must be agitated and hard to describe in the fall. The red small flowers, the petals are fragile and fluttering in the wind. Just a breeze blowing through make many petals are falling to create the poetic background for beautiful photos like in Korean movies!

This garden is colorful with flowers all year round, four seasons. Spring has cherry blossoms and azaleas. Summer has hydrangeas and jasmine.

And embrace the clear autumn of Jeju at Swiri Hill

Clear, quiet and peaceful is Jeju when in autumn. To keep the last beautiful moments of Jeju before leaving this peaceful land, I decided to drop by Swiri Hill.

Swiri is a garden located near the Shilla Jeju hotel, no need to book a room here, you can still visit the hill. Swiri does not have the vibrant colors like other places but this is the place that hidden the most quintessence of Jeju autumn. Strolling in this hill, you can breathe full of fresh air, feel the gentle breeze blowing through your hair and most importantly find peace for yourself.
