Spirited Garden is home to hundreds of bonsai plants in a natural garden with the theme of oreum (volcanic cone) and water. The name changed from Bunjae Arpia in 2007 to commemorate the 15th anniversary after opening and to renew the garden as an international garden. The history of the garden started in 1963 when Seong Beom-yeong, the founder of the garden, came to Jeju and cultivated the wasteland full of rocks. The garden came into the international spotlight as the beautiful space was created from the wastelands by a single farmer. The garden has been visited by many honored public figures such as Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao from China, Nakasone from Japan, Kim Yongsun from North Korea and others. Currently, about 400 planted trees are on display. Also, visitors can see various facilities including stone walls and stone towers stacked with Jeju volcanic stones, the largest artificial waterfall in Jeju, and a pond filled with large carp at the base of the the waterfall.

Geum Parasitic Cone is one of the more famous parasitic cones in the western mountainous region. It is a satellite volcanic edifice that has a large circular crater (52 meters deep) and a crater lake at the summit, and the two peaks in the south and the north are connected by a low slope from east to west. The lake at the summit inside the crater once held an abundant volume of water but it is now empty, showing the bottom of the crater. The name Geum Parasitic Cone is speculated to have derived from an archaic word "Gom," which means "god." Therefore, it can be interpreted that this parasitic cone has been deified since the ancient times. Pines, cedars, briers, bo trees and Oriental photinia can be found near the circular crater and the lake area.
