About
Hongcheon Ginkgo Forest, adorned with over 2,000 ginkgo trees planted at intervals of every five meters, is a private sanctuary that opens its gates to the public exclusively in October. This enchanting forest, cultivated and nurtured by a single individual for more than thirty years, transforms into a golden paradise in autumn. In addition, the nearby Sambong Springwater, recognized as one of Hongcheon's nine scenic wonders, along with the Guryongnyeong Pass, enhances the area's appeal as a prime tourist destination, making the forest an ideal spot for autumn visits.
