Embracing the Late Autumn Serenity: Four Must-Visit Arboretums in Korea
Online Community
As autumn draws to a close, the landscapes of November are painted with vibrant reds, captivating the eyes of many. During this time, arboretums exude an even quieter and more serene atmosphere, offering a different kind of emotional experience from the hustle and bustle of city life. While arboretums are often associated with the lush greenery of spring or summer, the late autumn arboretum has its own unique charm.
The brilliant colors of the autumn foliage, the sunlight filtering through the leaves, and the gentle breeze create a scene that evokes the feeling of turning the pages of an old book. In this season that offers solace simply by being, the arboretum becomes a special place that breathes life into our days, even if just for a short while.
Today, Travel TokTok introduces four of the best domestic arboretums to visit when you want to experience the unique atmosphere of autumn.
1. Yangpyeong Wildflower Arboretum

Yangpyeong Wildflower Arboretum, as its name suggests, embraces 'unpretentious natural beauty' rather than 'splendor'. Unlike other arboretums, it focuses on alpine plants and native wildflowers, creating a completely different atmosphere each season. In particular, the Wildflower Arboretum is made even more special by the silence that fills the void left by the grasses and flowers that have mostly disappeared.
With each step, slender reeds, dry reeds, and forest paths covered with fallen leaves naturally calm the mind. This place is decorated with a layout closer to nature rather than artificial landscaping, allowing you to feel the unique, simple scenery of late autumn more vividly. Benches and quiet ponds are also provided throughout the garden, making you want to stay longer.
The viewing paths are not wide, so it is not crowded, making it a good place to look around calmly and slowly. The nature of the Wildflower Arboretum, untouched by excessive human hands, conveys a deeper emotion in late autumn. You can organize your thoughts just by walking, and experience your mind becoming more relaxed with the changing seasons. Currently, it is unfortunately temporarily closed, but we highly recommend visiting it at least once when it reopens.
2. National Sejong Arboretum

National Sejong Arboretum, a neat natural space in the city, is a place where structural beauty and seasonal atmosphere harmonize. As Korea's first urban arboretum, it features a clean landscape that blends well with the characteristics of the planned city of Sejong. In November, most of the autumn foliage has already disappeared, but the late autumn sunlight shining through the branches calmly envelops the space.
The Korean traditional garden, the four-season greenhouse, and the aquatic botanical garden in the garden offer plenty to see even in late autumn with their various themes regardless of the season. In particular, the formalized walking paths and buildings add order to the scenery, allowing walkers to organize their emotions at their own pace. Deep contemplation becomes possible in a space with a lot of blank space.
Thanks to its sophisticated landscaping and clean structure, it is not burdensome to take a walk alone, and the arboretum leaves a deep impression even on a short trip. The empty spaces in various places create time to quietly talk to yourself, and the benches and sculptures placed at regular intervals add more stillness under the late autumn sun. If you want to feel the comfort of organized nature on a day when your emotions are complicated, we recommend the National Sejong Arboretum.
3. Dangjin Samseonsan Arboretum
Triple
Samseonsan Arboretum, located in Dangjin, Chungcheongnam-do, is not large in size, but its composition is substantial, and above all, its simple atmosphere, which is frequently visited by local residents, is attractive. In November, all the red autumn leaves have disappeared from Samseonsan Arboretum, leaving only calm scenery and quiet sunlight in their place, creating a static atmosphere.
The walking path winds along the forest, and there are small sculptures and shelters along the way, so there is no time to be bored. Most of the trees have shed their leaves, but the silhouettes created by their branches rather add to the depth of the season. Walking alone in the secluded space of late autumn makes you feel like the thoughts in your head are naturally organized.
It is not crowded and the air is clear, making it a good place to breathe slowly and walk. The sound of the wind and the sound of fallen leaves under your feet as you walk convey the tranquility of the late autumn arboretum as it is. It is a good place to go when you need deep thoughts or want to empty your emotions for a while. Samseonsan Arboretum is the perfect place for late autumn emotions on days when you want to escape from your busy daily life and walk quietly.
4. Siheung Yongdo Arboretum

Siheung Yongdo Arboretum, which is quietly emerging in the western part of Gyeonggi-do, is a privately run arboretum, but it is by no means lacking in terms of size and composition. In November, Yongdo Arboretum shows plants taking their last breath in a subtle atmosphere, and the scenery without colors stimulates even deeper emotions.
In particular, this place has well-organized themed gardens, so you can walk while slowly feeling the changing seasons. More than autumn foliage, withering leaves, quiet ponds, and quiet tree paths combine to provide a deep rest. Overall, it is not crowded, and there are many emotional points throughout the space, making it a good place to enjoy both walks and photos.
Siheung Yongdo Arboretum in late autumn is a place that offers quiet comfort to those who want to organize their turbulent emotions. This place, where traces of the passing season remain intact, allows you to calm your emotions and slow down the pace of your day just by walking. You can gain rest by walking at your own pace on a natural path. On days when you want to walk without saying a word, this is an arboretum that gently soothes your emotions.
