Every time the cool autumn breeze blows, I find myself following the delicate scent of chrysanthemums to Geochang Chrysanthemum Garden.
On November 6th, I visited the garden during the final days of the 2026 Geochang Chrysanthemum Exhibition (October 24th - November 8th), capturing the essence of deepening autumn.
Against the backdrop of a clear blue autumn sky, the tall pine trees and the 'GEOCHANG' sculpture harmonize beautifully, showcasing the season's charm.
As I entered the garden, the Visitor Center building immediately caught my eye.
A proud banner on the building's exterior announces that it received the Grand Prize (Minister of Forests Award) at the '1st Korea Garden Awards' organized by the Korea Forest Service. Visitors, including families and couples, leisurely ride multi-passenger bicycles among the colorful pots of chrysanthemums.
It was even more gratifying to know that the garden has been recognized as an official excellent garden of the nation due to its beautiful scenery and systematic management.
Sculptures of a guitar and saxophone made from yellow chrysanthemums seem ready to play cheerful melodies, while a heart arch adorned with red flowers adds a romantic touch to the festival square.
A pair of elegant white chrysanthemum swans face each other against the blue sky, and a bright yellow elephant carries baby dinosaurs on a whimsical flower train, captivating visitors. Thanks to the delightful sights, families with children and couples alike could capture joyful memories in photographs.
Walking through the arch adorned with vibrant chrysanthemums and the green flower tunnel of 'Geochang Chrysanthemum Garden,' I felt a rush of excitement.
The sign at the entrance of the chrysanthemum garden kindly introduces various chrysanthemum varieties, including large daisies, chrysanthemums, and Gaya Purple.
Upon entering the garden, I was greeted by a cluster of yellow daisies.
Under the blue sky, a lone tree stands tall, surrounded by a field of yellow chrysanthemums, resembling a picturesque landscape.
A witty phrase sculpture within the chrysanthemum field brings smiles to all who see it.
Up close, the yellow daisies and delicate white chrysanthemums glisten in the sunlight, reflecting the depth of autumn in each petal.
After leaving the golden chrysanthemum garden, I headed towards the spiral observatory on the hill.
From the observatory, I enjoyed a panoramic view of the gently flowing Hwang River and the wetlands adorned with autumn foliage, presenting a breathtaking autumn landscape.
As I walked back down the observatory, the serene water reflected the blue sky, autumn leaves, and falling foliage.
In the flowerbed along the walking path, pink and purple hibiscus bloom brightly under the last rays of autumn sunshine, accompanied by the phrase 'It's nice to see flowers bloom.'
Take a moment to relax at the 'Who is the flower?' photo zone, where a white metal bench awaits behind the tropical greenhouse.
Against the backdrop of the glass-fronted tropical greenhouse, the waves of silver grass swaying in the autumn breeze sparkle in the sunlight.
As I made my way back, I passed a cute photo zone with colorful pinwheels and whimsical characters, wrapping up my fragrant autumn stroll among the chrysanthemums.
Though the official chrysanthemum exhibition has ended, the silver grass and the scenic walking paths of Geochang Chrysanthemum Garden remain a perfect place to enjoy the lingering autumn vibes.
If you're looking to find a moment of tranquility amidst the cool autumn breeze, I hope you have a cozy day surrounded by the serene late autumn scenery of Geochang Chrysanthemum Garden.
