Creating a park dedicated to rocks on a rock-littered island might sound a snooze, but you’ll quickly reassess that opinion after touring this beguiling sculpture park. Three walking trails (between 560m and 970m in length) snake past outdoor exhibits, ranging from replicas of the original 47 dolharubang (grandfather rocks) to an enchanting forest with hundreds of dongjasok (pairs of stone tomb guardians).
