This park contains dozens of stone sculptures by the artist Chang, Kong-ik. While many of the
sculptures are traditional dol-harubang, many others represent various different symbols of
Korean and Oriental religion, folklore, and society. Expect to spend over an hour and a half walking
around the park.

It has several ponds, a cave, and several areas sectioned off by high bushes. Like many areas,
tourists flood in by the bus loads, sometimes making picture taking difficult. They all have to
take pictures of themselves in front of the "important" items. Fortunately, many of
the more interesting sculptures are largely ignored by the masses and you can squeeze in
pictures between waves of people.

One section includes a collection of small dol-harubang given to some of the more famous
people who have visited Jeju Island. Included among the celebrities: Hashimoto Ryutaro, Mikhail
Gorbachov, Li Peng, Jiang Zemin, and Bill Clinton.
