The park was originally established as a dairy farm before being opened to the public for recreational tourism.
The tiered landscape was designed to mimic the alpine meadow aesthetic found in Switzerland.
The property contains a specific spring blooming zone that hosts thousands of daffodils, a popular draw for local photographers.
The facility processes milk sourced directly from the cows and sheep kept on the premises.
Jirisan Cheese Land is a hillside recreational park overlooking the Gurye Lake Reservoir in the southern foothills of Jirisan Mountain. The landscape features rolling green pastures and tiered meadows that are intentionally reminiscent of the Swiss Alps. Visitors primarily engage in walking the sloped paths, viewing the scenic lake backdrop, and interacting with grazing sheep in designated areas. The site is a production facility for dairy products, including artisanal cheeses and yogurt, which are available for purchase on-site. The topography consists of a steep, grassy incline that rises from the reservoir level to the upper pastures. The park provides wide, panoramic views of the water and the surrounding rugged mountain range. Seasonal plantings, particularly daffodils in the spring, alter the visual aesthetic of the hillside throughout the year.
