As autumn arrives, Goesan in Chungbuk offers stunning scenery with its golden ginkgo trees.
Welcome to the Ginkgo Tree Path at Mungwang Reservoir.
When the ginkgo trees lining the reservoir turn golden, the surrounding landscape becomes vibrant, enhancing the charm of autumn with the tranquil waters.
The Ginkgo Tree Path has been lovingly maintained by local residents for many years. It began in 1977 when the villagers of Yanggok donated 200 ginkgo trees, leading to the creation of this beautiful path.
What started as a community effort has now become a representative autumn attraction of Goesan.
During the season when the leaves turn yellow, the golden trees lining both sides of the path add to the joy of walking.
It’s a perfect place to stroll and appreciate the autumn scenery or capture memorable photos against the backdrop of ginkgo leaves.
The allure of Mungwang Reservoir extends beyond the Ginkgo Tree Path.
Walking among the trees offers different perspectives of the scenery, and reflections of the trees on the water enhance the experience.
The reservoir, created to supply agricultural water, is also known as Yanggok Reservoir.
Its serene atmosphere blends with the rural landscape, providing paths for leisurely walks.
While the ginkgo trees are famous in autumn, the changing scenery throughout the seasons makes it a delightful place to relax.
Around the reservoir, pink cosmos flowers and reed fields create a harmonious scene.
The cosmos contrast beautifully with the yellow ginkgo trees, creating a cheerful ambiance, while the swaying reeds offer a calming autumn landscape.
After exploring the Ginkgo Tree Path, observing the surrounding flowers and reeds reveals a more colorful autumn experience.
During the season when the ginkgo trees turn golden, the Yanggok Ginkgo Tree Festival is also held.
In 2026, the festival will take place from October 17 to November 15, featuring performances, exhibitions, and local agricultural products.
At the festival, visitors can find local specialties such as sweet corn, pickled cabbage, and apples, supporting local farmers.
Food stalls will also be available for visitors to enjoy meals or drinks during their stroll.
With ample parking and public restrooms, the festival area is convenient for visitors.
During peak times, parking and mobility may take longer, so it's advisable to plan accordingly.
This year, the Ginkgo Tree Path at Mungwang Reservoir was selected as one of the 36 autumn travel destinations by the Korea Tourism Organization.
With its natural beauty, maintained by residents over the years, and the vibrant cosmos and reeds, it’s an even more attractive spot.
Enjoy walking beneath the golden ginkgo trees, experience the festival, and savor the local produce. Mungwang Reservoir is a perfect place to create autumn memories.
