Take photos with a stunning autumn backdrop

This unique pink muhly scene attracts many visitors seeking special photo opportunities, such as family portraits and wedding photographs. Many professional photographers flock to the village during the festival season to capture the picturesque fall scenery. If you plan to take special or professional photographs, visiting early in the morning on weekdays is recommended as there are fewer visitors at that time. You can enter the fields early in the morning, but there may be no staff at that time, so make sure to pay the entrance fee in cash at the self-pay box.

The village is also pet-friendly, offering a small dog park with green grass. Bring your family, friends, or pets and enjoy capturing memorable photos against Korea’s stunning fall backdrop!
