So, do you know that the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Games will be held in South Korea? Do drop by and watch the spectacular competitor,where many of the world athletic gathers here to showcase their sportsmanship in winter sports.
It will be held in Gangwondo Provinces, but you know what! Since you are here in South Korea, you should just visit Seoul, the games only. You should make full use of your precious time here, to explore the beauty of South Korea. In this post, I would like to recommend you a private island at the South West of South Korea. The island is none other than Oedo Paradise Island. 
Look at the Shape!
Just for your information on getting here, probably the only way that you could get to this island will be through taking a boat, roughly 20 minutes ride from the Gujora Port on Geojedo Island, or there are actually a total of 6 ports from Geoje Island where you can take a boat to the Oedo Paradise Island. The approximate distance of the Oedo Paradise island is 4km away from the Geojedo Island. Moreover, if you are mesmerising the island like me, one bad news is that you are not allowed to stay overnight on the island. Adding on to this, visitors are entitled to 1 hour 30 minutes of visiting time to this paradise island before departing to Geoje Island.
You might be thinking like what so special about this island? What makes it for me to go all the way South and to take a bat from another Island. But, let me tell you this, you will feel yourself being in a wonderland or in some fantasy Korean drama or fairytale once you reached there.
My favourite tree in the Island
Like I had said before, this is a private island and you must be wondering, who is the owner? The owner is none other than Mr Lee Chang Ho, who first came to Oedo Paradise Island as a way to escape from the strong winds and waves while he was fishing on the sea. The breathtaking landscape that you could find almost everywhere in the island is actually created by the owner himself,together with his wife for the past 30 years. I could really feel how precious is this island to the owner as it is a very well tended garden and that they had showered a lot of care and love towards this island,just like their own child.
With it awesomely designed botanical gardens, where it is designed based on the European theme that consists or more than 3000 species of flora and fauna, it sets a relaxing and stunning atmosphere that allows visitors to indulge in the natural environment and the magnificent ocean views.
Many of you especially those who are a fan of Korean Drama must have known the famous Korean Drama "Stairway to Heaven." Over here, you are truly experiencing what is it like to be on the Stairway to Heaven, due to the fact that there are two sides of the stairways which allow visitors to enjoy the beautiful terrace landscape on either side of the stairways. Therefore, there is no doubt that Oedo Paradise Island is indeed a Paradise in the world!
As I had mentioned about the natural landscape, this island being a garden! One has to take note of the seasonality. Spring is a season where flowers blooms and Oedo Paradise Island is no exception! In Oedo Paradise Island, there are several theme gardens, such as Cactus garden and flowers gardens including some rare species. Do note that summer is the peak period of the island, so do have plans before you visit.
