If you want to take a leisurely stroll under the shade of ancient trees, where would you like to go?
I recently visited the 'Seongju Gyeongsan-ri Forest' in Seongju, Gyeongbuk.
This place offers a beautiful landscape where lush willow trees and purple daylilies harmonize.

As the purple daylilies bloom beneath the willow trees, the vibrant colors enhance the green forest.
Thanks to the harmonious scenery created by nature, it was a great place to enjoy a walk and capture memories through photography.
Seongju Gyeongsan-ri Forest is a forest established along the Ichun River to the west of Seongju-eup, home to 52 willow trees estimated to be 300 to 500 years old.
Each tree holds years of history, creating a tranquil and comfortable atmosphere throughout the forest.
Seeing the magnificent size of the willows up close and the marks of time on their trunks was truly impressive.
The forest has been designated as a natural monument due to its historical and ecological value.
The thick, twisting branches stretch towards the sky, providing a wide shade over the walking paths.
The sight of ancient willows gathered in one place is striking, making it enjoyable to slowly walk and observe the unique shapes of each tree.
As sunlight filters through the leaves, the purple daylilies and green foliage appear even more vivid.
The beautiful interplay of light and shadow means you can capture stunning photos from any angle!
On one side of the forest, there is an information center where you can learn about the history and natural environment of the area.
If you’re curious about the forest, this is a great place to gather information.
If it's your first visit, stopping by the information center before starting your walk is a good idea.
Understanding the background of the forest and the value of the willows will make the scenery feel even more special.
You can take beautiful photos throughout the forest without needing to find specific photo zones!
Capturing the long walking paths between the willow trees or framing both the purple daylilies and majestic willows in one shot is highly recommended.
Each step reveals a slightly different view of the forest, making the experience enjoyable.
While the forest looks beautiful in photos, visiting in person allows you to hear the sounds of nature.
Listening to the leaves rustling in the wind brought a sense of peace to my mind.
Take your time to fully enjoy the atmosphere of the forest!
If you are looking for a place to experience ancient nature and beautiful landscapes in Gyeongbuk, consider visiting Seongju Gyeongsan-ri Forest.
Walking along the forest paths lined with centuries-old willows and purple daylilies, you can escape from daily life and enjoy a moment of tranquility.
