The outer island from Geoje, Oedo Botania
#timetotravel
From Geoje Island, you can also opt to travel to another island called Oedo, which means Outer Island, by taking a ferry from the town of Jangseungpo. This is a private island owned by a family, and is having a climate of summer all year round. There, you will feel the sensation of equatorial climate where equatorial faunas lived growing well there. The owner converted the entire island to a garden inspired by the Medici family of Florence, which much structure and replica resembles the Boboli Gardens in Florence. It is a nice getaway from Geoje during the weekend.

The garden is divided into themed sections, showcasing tropical, subtropical, and temperate flora.

The OEDO Botania
#koreatrip Definitely worth the visit. It had an European vibe, and so many different species of plants (including rare ones). It's great to enjoy around and all pictures come out beautiful. It is also considered as One of the most beautiful places in Korea. The boat ride there alone would have been worth it, but the island is truly magical.
There is also a cafe more towars the top of the island, and the view there is stunning. I hope to go back some time soon.

Oedo island in South Korea
Oedo island is a place near Goje island in the south side of the Korea. This place is very unique and worth visiting. It takes around 3-4 hours to explore this island since it is very small.
