Such a peaceful and serene area. The architecture of the Asian world is so beautiful compared to the Western world's sleek straight and boring lines...

I think that Korean architectural spirit in is Openness which means the expansion of Line, Surface and Space to reach mother Nature. So very often, we don't know whether the place had been dedicated to a Garden in the past or not, because the space looks so natural and no real, artifical boundary to the neighboring nature, like mountain, creek or lake..
