Hallim Park is strongly scented with exotic sentiment. The plants are
divided into 16 sectors including the Tropical Botanical Garden, Washingtonia Palm Garden, Foliage
Plant Garden, Palm Tree Garden, and Kiwi Fruit Garden. The most famous tourist sites in Hallim Park
are Hyeopjae Cave and Ssangyong Cave. In addition,
a folk village, children's amusement park, and outdoor resort facilities make it a place enjoyable
for both children and adults.
This unusual formation resulted from the roots of two nettle trees comingling. It was discovered and
mended by Kim Choon Hong while working on road construction in 1992. Made by the roots of two trees

together. Lovers and married couples flock here in droves to have their pictures taken next to it. Hyeopjae Cave and Ssangyong Caves

located in Hallim Park. Unlike most lava tubes, this cave contains a number of stalagtites and

dragon."
