Jinju Railway Culture Park is a great place to take a walk along the old railway tracks. With the cool breeze, warm sunshine, and clear blue skies of autumn, it's the perfect place for an outing. Let me introduce you to Jinju Railway Culture Park, a great place to take a walk and fully enjoy the autumn scenery in the city.

I visited the Railway Culture Park on the morning of November 6th. As soon as I entered, I saw a large zelkova tree. It was tinged with yellowish-brown and reddish-brown hues, creating a classic atmosphere.

This is a long walking path that citizens enjoy. The abandoned railway tracks have been transformed into a walking path full of emotion. It's a great path to walk while enjoying the autumn scenery.

Metasequoia trees are planted along both sides of this promenade, and gaura, also known as butterfly wings, purple-blue Korean daisies, reeds, and pennisetum are planted in the center. They are even more beautiful in the morning sunlight.

The Railway Culture Park is a great place to visit with children, as it has rocking chairs, rocking horses, and a zipline. Maple trees, trident maple trees, and arrowwood, a shrub, are turning red and orange throughout the park.

Lanterns are also installed throughout the park, making it a great photo spot with the autumn leaves.

This is a resting area in the forest. Inside, you can see the colorful autumn leaves and the turntable framed in a picture frame. The turntable is a railway facility used to change the direction of locomotives. It is a historically valuable place because it is preserved in its original form in the Railway Culture Park.

If you walk slowly, you will also see yellowish-brown zelkova leaves, adding to the rustic charm of autumn.

This is the Maenggeongi Ecological Park, located right next to the Railway Culture Park. There are benches, a Hwangto (red clay) path, and a deck where you can relax.

This is a cafe where you can enjoy the atmosphere of the park. In particular, they offer free picnic supplies for rent, so please take advantage of it.

Perhaps the most beautiful scenery of the Railway Culture Park in autumn is the train maintenance depot and train harmonizing with the yellow ginkgo trees. When I visited, the tall ginkgo trees were gradually turning yellow. The golden pennisetum and greenish-yellow ginkgo trees were beautiful enough.

In addition, there is also a cosmos walking path on the old railway walkway right next to it. I think this is an all-in-one collection of autumn foliage and autumn flowers.

Various events are held every weekend at Jinju Railway Culture Park these days. I recommend it as a place where you can feel autumn in the city with metasequoia, pennisetum and reeds, maple and ginkgo trees, cosmos and Korean daisies. I hope you enjoy autumn with your family, lover, and friends.
