Seokpajeong was once the private retreat of Heungseon Daewongun, a powerful regent of the late Joseon Dynasty, nestled at the foot of Inwangsan Mountain in Buam-dong. Visitors can enjoy a serene traditional garden featuring striking rock formations, pine trees, and a graceful pavilion just steps away from the bustle of Seoul.
석파정은 조선 말기 흥선대원군이 별장으로 사용했던 곳으로, 서울 도심 속에서 자연과 어우러진 전통 정원의 정취를 느낄 수 있습니다. 부암동 인왕산 자락에 자리해 아름다운 바위와 소나무, 정자가 어우러진 풍경이 인상적입니다.
