The autumn leaves at Wolasan in Jinju are in full color for families looking for a special experience such as rope play in the forest and upcycling pop-up bookmaking.

For the increasing number of family weekend visitors, the city operates rope play in the autumn leaves forest, an upcycling pop-up book-making experience using discarded books at the Children’s Library in the Forest, and special experience programs for family yoga and singing ball therapy at Daleum Hall, and a wood culture experience center.
