Autumn has arrived, bringing perfect weather for walks. The Ginkgo Tree Path at Geosan Mun-gwang Reservoir is a popular spot for many who come to see the vibrant yellow ginkgo leaves.
Even when the leaves haven't turned yellow, the scenery remains beautiful and is perfect for a stroll.
There is a walking path around the reservoir, making it an ideal place for a leisurely walk. Let me share the beauty of September at Mun-gwang Reservoir.
At the entrance of the Ginkgo Tree Path, there is a photo zone shaped like a frame. While the ginkgo trees look stunning when they turn yellow, the green ones are also quite lovely.
I walked slowly along the Ginkgo Tree Path, where the tall ginkgo trees stand in a row, forming a long path.
After seeing the yellow ginkgo leaves, the sight of the green trees felt refreshing.
There is a small park along the path with a pavilion and a jar, giving it a rustic feel. You can also walk around the pond nearby.
The reservoir is situated next to the Ginkgo Tree Path, allowing you to enjoy the view of the water as you walk.
The fishing platform floating on the reservoir adds to the picturesque scenery alongside the ginkgo trees.
Some yellow ginkgo leaves had fallen among the green trees, reminding me that autumn is truly here.
There is a swing positioned where you can see the reservoir. It is fixed for safety reasons, but sitting there and enjoying the view is quite pleasant.
The photo zone inspired by the 70s is a great spot to capture memories during the annual Ginkgo Festival, allowing visitors to reminisce about the past.
Along the Ginkgo Tree Path, heartfelt poetry is displayed, expressing personal feelings towards the path through warm verses that evoke memories.
The Ginkgo Tree Path, lined with trees of various shapes, creates a beautiful landscape.
Ginkgo fruits have also appeared, and as autumn deepens, they emit a strong odor. Visitors may be surprised by the smell, but the fruits are nutritious and have a chewy texture, making them popular for consumption.
At the end of the Ginkgo Tree Path, there is a trail that circles the reservoir. Rather than just walking the Ginkgo Tree Path, I continued along the wooden deck trail.
I saw a fishing platform on the water, where people were quietly fishing. Although I have never experienced floating on water, I imagine being in the calm of the reservoir would bring peace to one's mind.
I noticed purple flowers that resembled acacia flowers along the trail, adding to the beauty.
The acorn trees were bearing fruit, growing larger. Instead of just walking aimlessly, observing the plants and changes in nature during autumn made the walk more engaging.
The trail leads to a forest path at the end of the deck. It's a straightforward path with signs, so there's no risk of getting lost.
Among the trees along the path, I saw a noticeable tree that had fallen or been cut down, with its trunk sprouting new shoots and roots. This resilience of nature is inspiring.
As autumn arrives, the grass is trimmed, making the walking path neat and fragrant. There is also an observation deck where you can see colorful rice paddy paintings.
The view from the observation deck features a painting of a clear jump, symbolizing the vibrant energy of Geosan residents for 2026.
After viewing the rice paddy paintings, I continued along the path, shaded by lush trees.
The fishing platform visible through the trees adds charm to the scene. In autumn, the morning mist can create a beautiful atmosphere.
There is also a tile mural themed around ginkgo trees, providing little visual delights.
Walking along the reservoir path after passing the Ginkgo Tree Path, I noticed the sky had cleared. The beauty of Geosan Mun-gwang Reservoir under the blue sky was enhanced by the orange-roofed platform.
Although many visit during the ginkgo's peak season, the reservoir was beautiful even in September.
With a cool breeze, it was a perfect day for a walk, and the colorful rice paddy painting at the observation deck was special.
On a lovely day, take a stroll along the Ginkgo Tree Path at Mun-gwang Reservoir this autumn.
