The park is directly linked to the habitat of red spider lilies (Lycoris radiata), which constitute one of the largest colonies of this flower in South Korea.
It serves as the main host location for the annual Yeonggwang Red Spider Lily Festival, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors each autumn.
The park's design incorporates motifs from traditional Korean folklore and agricultural history specific to the Jeollanam-do region.
It sits immediately adjacent to Bulgapsa, a thousand-year-old temple established during the Baekje dynasty in the 4th century.
Bulgap Theme Park is situated in Geumgye-ri, Bulgap-myeon, Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do, South Korea, adjacent to the historic Bulgapsa Temple area. The park serves as the primary venue for the annual Yeonggwang Red Spider Lily Festival held every autumn. It features expansive walking trails, water features, traditional Korean architectural elements, and sculptures celebrating local culture and agriculture. The landscape transforms dramatically in September when millions of red spider lilies bloom across the grounds and surrounding hillsides. Visitors can explore various themed zones, including ecological ponds, resting pavilions, and open green spaces suitable for families. The park connects directly to hiking paths leading into Mount Bulgap. It is managed as a public recreational space reflecting the regional heritage and natural environment of Yeonggwang.
