- Be sure to see the large flat rock, also known as Elephant Rock.
- Traditional Korean houses, a valley, and a forest blend beautifully with works such as Yayoi Kusama's pumpkin and artist Kim Taesu's Eco Flow.
- The view from beneath the shade of an old pine with branches stretching sideways, or from the wooden veranda of the room where Emperor Gojong is said to have stayed, feels like a work of art.
- Except for the forest trail, the paths are paved, but there are slopes, and you need to climb stairs to reach the inside of the traditional houses, so strollers may be inconvenient.
- It is also a great place to visit restaurants in Buam-dong before or after viewing the exhibition.
