Gyeyang Araon

Chrysanthemum Festival, Light Festival, Zinnia Garden, Stamp Tour

With the cool autumn breeze blowing, a new October festival awaits!

I visited the Gyeyang Araon Chrysanthemum Festival, which is emerging as a must-visit place in Incheon.

I visited at night and mainly enjoyed the light festival, but I'll also introduce the Zinnia garden and stamp tour, which are prettier during the day!

Getting to the Gyeyang Araon Festival and Parking

I went with my mascot, Rookie.

The Gyeyang Araon Chrysanthemum Festival is held at the Ara Canal in Incheon.

There's a separate Araon parking lot, but I thought it would be full, so

I parked my car in the Gyeyang Station parking lot. (Not recommended)

It cost 400 won per 10 minutes, so it came out to over 5,000 won after 2 hours!

I heard they built a new Araon parking lot, so use that one~

The way to get to the entrance of the Araon Chrysanthemum Festival from Gyeyang Station is

Take the elevator at the Ara Canal, cross the bridge, and go down.

It takes about 20 minutes on foot.

As soon as you enter Zone 1, you'll be greeted by the Media Cube.

The video inside the large cube twinkles to the music,

and both children and adults stop to watch.

Bright future

Next to it is the Fantasy Tree.

All the leaves are LED lights, so the color keeps changing.

It's a different kind of beauty than lights that decorate a tree like a Christmas tree.

Gyeyang Araon Light Festival

Cross the bridge and enter the world of the festival!

After passing Zone 1 and crossing the bridge,

you're finally in the Gyeyang Araon Chrysanthemum Festival area.

As soon as you enter the festival grounds, a bear lighting photo zone

is the first thing you see.

It's much more sparkly than it looks in the pictures hehehe.

Everyone from kids to adults takes a picture in front of it~

Spectacular scene

Right across from it, there's a laser show at the Golden Mandarin Fish statue!

I was lukewarm when I saw the Golden Mandarin Fish statue during the day~ but

it was really pretty to see it with the light festival.

Mysterious appearance

At night, there are more people and the atmosphere is completely different.

If chrysanthemums and zinnias were the main characters during the day,

at night, the lights become the main characters.

Fantastic scene

There were quite a few people even at night because it was the holiday season.

Touching scene

Gyeyang Araon Street of Lights Stamp Tour Tips!

As befits an October festival, they were holding an event

where you can get a food truck discount coupon with the 'Stamp Tour'.

If you download the app and get stamps at 5 locations,

you can get a 5,000 won discount coupon for the food truck!

I.... didn't see this and already bought it with my own money.

Dreamlike moment

There are about 4 or 5 food trucks

and a convenience store next to it, so you can get snacks!

The convenience store also sells Hangang ramen,

so it's a good place to enjoy the vibe after a long time~

Dreamlike moment

Gyeyang Araon Chrysanthemum Festival Viewing

The Chrysanthemum Festival officially starts from Flower Street,

so there were various chrysanthemums.

Bright future

But Suhyangru was decorated so well that

I was busy looking around Suhyangru rather than the chrysanthemum works.

Warm memory

Rainbow-colored beads and a heart tree photo zone

Isn't it mysterious and pretty?

I had fun looking around because there were quite a few unique photo zones.

Mysterious appearance

Suhyangru and the full moon are there.

If you take a picture in front of the moon-shaped light,

anyone can take a picture that will be a hit.

Attractive photo

Rookie, who is very nervous..

Walk to the flower garden and you're done! ..or not?

There's still half of the sights left.

Great photo

Zinnia Flower Field

It's a field of ten million zinnias. Now is the perfect time to be in full bloom,

so the zinnia flowers are spread out like waves.

There are many double zinnias as big as Rookie's face, so it's pretty.

Warm memory

Night View of Ara Canal Across the River

For the final touch of the Ara Canal Festival, be sure to look across the river.

If you look at Zone 1 on the opposite side from Gyeyang Araon,

you can see the bridge and the Araon night view at a glance.

Warm memory

The rainbow tree and Gyeyang-gu doing archery

The real thing is much more beautiful than it can be captured in a photo.

Precious memory

If you're looking for a place to visit in Incheon this October,

I highly recommend the Gyeyang Araon Chrysanthemum Festival.

Full of flower scent, lights, and autumn sensibility~!

A perfect place to visit for a weekend outing

with family, lovers, and dogs.

Real Korea, Curated for Global Travelers

WassupKorea is a next-generation platform designed for foreigners who want to truly experience Korea — not just as tourists, but as locals. While countless Koreans have shared their daily lives, food experiences, and cultural tips through blogs, videos, and social media, much of this valuable content remains locked behind language barriers. WassupKorea solves this by collecting and curating high-quality local content and making it accessible to global audiences through real-time AI-powered translation. Instead of superficial recommendations, users gain access to authentic, first-hand stories — from hidden street food spots to weekend mountain hikes — written by Koreans for Koreans, now reinterpreted for the world.

AI-Powered Personalization, Translation, and Voice Interaction

What sets WassupKorea apart is its deep integration of artificial intelligence at the core of the platform. AI matches users with personalized content based on their language, nationality, and travel interests. Whether you're looking for vegan Korean food in Jeonju or part-time job tips in Seoul, the platform's smart engine brings the most relevant, timely posts to the forefront. Every piece of content — blog summaries, local guides, user comments — is instantly translated using advanced AI translators. Users can also listen to posts via natural-sounding voice AI in their own language. Real-time voice translation in community chats allows for live conversations between users from different countries. With voice synthesis, AI can even "learn" your voice preferences to create a more natural and immersive experience.

A Living Community Driven by Local Content and Global Connection

WassupKorea is more than just an information portal — it’s an AI-driven community hub that grows smarter as users interact. Travelers and residents alike can share their own content via links from TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, or directly post on the platform. AI categorizes the content, suggests similar posts, and connects users with shared interests. Foreigners living in Korea can also access essential resources like visa tips, rental guides, job listings, and lifestyle hacks. As more content is generated and more interactions occur, the AI refines its recommendations — creating a dynamic feedback loop that benefits every user. WassupKorea bridges the gap between Korea’s deep local knowledge and the global audience eager to explore it, forming a smart, multilingual, and inclusive platform for everyone curious about life in Korea.
