Choose between the Korean Garden and Contemporary Garden, and plan the final taxi connection before leaving Seoul.

Choose the garden you want to see
Médongaule has two separately ticketed areas, with a combined ticket available. The Korean Garden and Contemporary Garden take different approaches to landscape, architecture and ideas, so choose your ticket before planning the day.
Architecture within the landscape
Seongok Seowon reinterprets the form of Byeongsanseowon in the Korean Garden. The Contemporary Garden includes Über House. The operator still marks the Dionysus visitor centre as a future opening; do not plan on entering it.
Leave time between the train and the gate
The garden is in Yangdong-myeon, with a taxi connection after rail travel. Plan the return as well as the outbound journey. Official navigation uses the visitor parking address at 1 Medonggol-gil, rather than the business address in the website footer.

Getting there
The operator lists a train from Cheongnyangni to Yangdong Station followed by a taxi, estimated at about 14 minutes. Check that your chosen train actually stops at Yangdong.
An alternative is the Gyeongui–Jungang Line to Yongmun Station followed by a taxi, estimated at about 25 minutes. Times are the operator’s estimates, not a live traffic forecast.
By intercity bus, the operator lists Dong Seoul Terminal to Yongmun Bus Terminal, then a taxi. Arrange the return taxi and rail or bus connection in advance.
