Must-Visit Places in Goesan County
Pink Muhly Grass Hill at Seoburi | A pink hill adorned with 900,000 pink muhly grasses and 120,000 silver grasses.
In autumn, the pink muhly grass hill is a sight you don't want to miss.
The place I visited in Goesan is the pink muhly grass field located in Seoburi, Goesan-eup.
Known as the 'Pink Hill Glass Garden', it features 900,000 pink muhly grasses and 120,000 silver grasses planted on the hills of Seoburi.
The scale is impressive, and when I arrived, the entire hillside was covered in pink.
Unlike many tourist attractions, Goesan Pink Muhly is not filled with buildings or facilities.
Instead, it offers open hills and winding dirt paths, mixed with silver grasses, making it a delightful place to walk.
Local media predicted mid-October to be the peak viewing time, but even on the day I visited, there was plenty of pink left, making it a good late autumn travel destination.
Today, I will share my experience walking around the hill in the order of the photos I took.
Upon arrival, the first view is right by the roadside.
The low hill is covered like a carpet with pink muhly, and a distant figure adds to the scale of the scene.
Though the sky was cloudy, the pink color stood out beautifully in the photos.
I believe many visitors are drawn to this stunning scenery.
As I got closer, the entire slope was filled with pink muhly.
Pink muhly is not a flower but a plant with slender spikes that appear misty, swaying like waves in the wind.
There were still patches of bare earth on the ridge, but a long walking path led up the hill.
Below the hill, a small village is visible, with pink muhly fields stretching out in front.
The dirt path on the left winds along the hill, creating a picturesque view with pink-roofed houses.
The walking path had mats in some sections, making it easier to walk.
On one side, there were pink muhly grasses, and on the other, silver grasses, providing contrasting views.
However, the mixed dirt paths can be slippery after rain, so wearing sneakers or trekking shoes is recommended.
I thought it was only pink muhly, but there were also quite a few silver grasses planted.
The silver spikes stretched over the path, creating a tunnel-like effect.
The combination of pink and silver allows you to enjoy two autumn landscapes in one spot.
I took a moment to capture just the silver grasses against the cloudy sky, perfectly showcasing the late autumn atmosphere.
This variety in photos adds richness to your blog or social media posts.
From the mid-hill, I looked down toward the village.
A narrow path through the pink muhly leads to the village, and capturing the scene with the pink muhly in the foreground creates a dreamy effect.
As the name 'Pink Hill Glass Garden' suggests, the entire hill felt like a vast garden.
Some visitors were taking photos right in the middle of the pink muhly field.
With people present, the height and density of the pink muhly are easily visible.
When taking pictures, it's best to stick to the paths and avoid stepping on the plants.
Being considerate of others will help maintain the beauty of the garden for a longer time.
Lastly, I looked back up at the hill, where the pink hue layered beautifully against the green grass and silver grasses.
Despite the cloudy day, it was stunning, and I can only imagine how vibrant it would be on a sunny afternoon.
As I descended toward the village, I captured a photo of the pink muhly filling a small valley, resembling a painting.
This location is within Goesan-eup, making it easy to combine visits with other attractions like Goesan Hyanggyo or the Goesan Veterans Theme Park.
The Goesan Hyanggyo nearby offers a peaceful atmosphere with ginkgo trees and protected zelkova trees, making it a perfect next stop after the pink muhly fields.
