One of the eight scenic views of Seocheon, Maryang-ri Camellia Forest is designated as a Natural Monument. The lush forest covers an area of 8,265 ㎡ with the trees being nearly 500 years old. The best time to enjoy the camellias is from late March to early May. Dongbaekjeong Pavilion standing at the peak of the hill offers a beautiful view of the nearby Oryeokdo Island in the blue sea and is also a prime spot for taking in the sunset. The western side of the forest has few remaining trees, but the eastern side is still lush with over 70 trees. While camellia trees typically grow to be 7 meters tall, the strong sea breeze has caused the trees in this forest to have a stunted growth of just 2 meters, as well as growing at a slant.
