Soswae Garden, or Soswaewon is an artificial wood created on the northern trails of Kwangju's Mudeung Mountain at Jigok-ri, Nammyeon in Damyang-gun, South Cholla Province. The person who dug the first shovel of earth to make the garden was Soswe Gong, Yang San-bo, who lived from 1505 to 1557. The construction work continued for three generations and to the present maintains its noble features. The luxuriantly grown trees surround the traditional Korean-style garden and building, highlighted by a valley running across the middle. The garden boasts a rare view of perfection that is difficult to find in the nearby areas.
