As summer's heat gradually recedes, a cool breeze begins to blow in the mornings and evenings. The first signs of the changing season are often felt through the flowers and the wind. This time, I wanted to truly experience autumn, so I visited Yangju Nari Farm, which is hosting the '2026 Yangju Celosia Autumn Festival.'
Before visiting, here is some useful information about Nari Farm:
Nari Farm is open from September 18 to October 25, 2026, and this year, you can find over 30 varieties of autumn flowers such as celosia, angelonia, and cockscomb in the newly created flower fields. Notably, this year, the subtropical zone has been expanded, and the viewing cart route has been widened for greater convenience.
Entrance fees vary based on the timing of the visit and the visitor's residence. During the opening period, Yangju residents pay 1,000 won for adults and 500 won for teenagers, while visitors from other regions pay 7,000 won for adults and 5,000 won for teenagers. However, visitors from other regions will receive a refund of 5,000 won for adults and 3,000 won for teenagers in Yangju Love Gift Certificates.
Additionally, during the festival period (September 26-27 and October 3-4), all visitors can enter for 5,000 won for adults and 3,000 won for teenagers, with the entire entrance fee refunded in gift certificates.
If you are using public transportation, take the 80 bus from the bus stop across from Exit 2 of Yangju Station on Line 1 and get off at the 'Yangju Nari Farm' stop. Parking is limited, so it's advisable to use public transport on weekends, with temporary parking available in the vicinity of Gwangsa-dong.
When visiting, wear comfortable shoes to stroll through the flower fields, and if you want to enjoy the weekend festival atmosphere, check the performance and experience schedules in advance. This can be a fall trip that goes beyond simply viewing flowers, allowing you to enjoy flowers, music, and local culture together.
As I entered the flower fields, the scenery transformed. The first thing that caught my eye was the endless expanse of flowers. The vibrant colors filled the wide space, and no matter which direction I turned my camera, the autumn landscape was beautifully captured. Celosia, in particular, can be enjoyed for a long time, and up close, the clusters of small flowers create an impressive palette.
As I walked slowly along the paths between the flowers, the atmosphere changed depending on the direction I looked. In some spots, the flowers took center stage, while in others, the sky and the flower fields created a unified scene. I found myself spending more time enjoying the view with my eyes than taking photos.
This year's festival is not just about seeing flowers. The Yangju Celosia Autumn Festival, themed 'Autumn Drenched in Celosia,' will be held on September 26-27 and October 3-4, with busking and markets continuing on weekends until October 18.
The layout of the flower fields and event areas as one space was enjoyable, allowing visitors to naturally encounter performances and experiences while walking along the flower paths. It was convenient not to have to search for separate areas for the festival and the flower fields. When music played against the backdrop of flowers and laughter filled the air, an ordinary autumn stroll felt like a special outing.
Nari Farm is open until October 25. Walking through Nari Farm felt like truly 'walking in the heart of autumn.' While the beautiful flowers were delightful, the breeze blowing through the flower fields, the sounds of laughter, and the time spent strolling were what I will remember most.
Autumn passes by quicker than expected. Therefore, it might be a good idea to take some time to walk along the flower paths while the season is beautiful.
If you are pondering where to go this weekend, visit Yangju Nari Farm, where you can experience autumn without traveling far, enjoying flowers, music, and the leisurely pace of the season.
