Located in Paltan, Hwaseong-si, Woori Flower Botanical Garden is a botanical garden where you can see about 1,100 species of plants throughout the four seasons. The Four Seasons Hall, a glass greenhouse built in the traditional Korean hanok style, is created to reflect the environment of the central region, allowing visitors to observe different plants each season. Additionally, you can view about 300 species of plants including a rockery shaped like five famous mountains of Korea, the root of the Pokdal tree where wishes come true, and tree ferns. There is also an ecological pond for wetland and aquatic plants, a medicinal garden showcasing various plants and their medicinal effects, and a theme garden planted with grasses like silver grass and pink muhly that convey an autumn atmosphere. Especially for children, there is a play forest with a zipline and slides, a fountain plaza for water play in midsummer, and various experience programs such as marimo cultivation, sand art, and edible flower activities. Behind the botanical garden is a hiking trail connected to Deunggosan Mountain allowing about a 30-minute walk around the Woori Flower Botanical Garden trail. Cultural tourism guides are also available, sharing stories about grasses, trees, and flowers.

This house, registered as a Gyeonggi-do cultural heritage property, well represents the traditional residential life of local wealthy farmers in Gyeonggi-do. It is composed overall of an anchae (main building), sarangchae (men's quarters), and haengnangchae (servants' quarters), forming a 'ㅁ' shape. The anchae is shaped like 'ㄱ'; it has a central daecheongmaru (main hall), with the main room to the east and the opposite side with a guest room, and the kitchen in front of the main room. Behind the kitchen is the backyard with a well and jangdokdae (earthenware jar platform). The sarangchae is also 'ㄱ' shaped, with a central daecheong and one room on each side; outside the wooden porch, changho (windows) are attached, making the porch look like a corridor from the front. The haengnangchae in front of the sarangchae is a nine-room single row (一字形) with a central gate. Notable features include the long sarangchae divided doors, intricate lattice windows on the side, and the side door, all preserved in their original state. Although there is no definite material to establish the construction date, based on the materials and furniture in the sarangchae, it is estimated to be from the late 19th century, with the anchae presumed to be earlier.
