The 3rd Hapcheon Hwangmaesan Silver Grass Festival is now open, running through October 13 at Hwangmaesan County Park.

Visitors can enjoy the sight of silver grass gently moving in the wind, covering the mountain in broad swathes and showcasing the natural beauty of the autumn season.

Located at the border of Gahoe-myeon, Daebyeong-myeon, and Chahwang-myeon, Hwangmaesan Mountain stands at 1,113 meters.

Despite its height, it is accessible, with parking available at 850 meters. The flat paths through the silver grass fields make it easy for visitors of all ages to explore the area. The mountain’s fall landscape, highlighted by blooming silver grass, draws tourists every year.

The event also includes cultural activities, a picnic zone, local product markets, and photo spots.

For added convenience, the festival offers guided tours, mobility assistance, and a shuttle bus service on holidays.
