Golden wonder: Wonju Ginkgo tree
The nearly 1,000-year-old ginkgo tree in Wonju, Gangwon Province, transforms into a stunning golden sphere each autumn. Known as a "living fossil," this ancient tree stands out against the red maple forest, creating an unforgettable autumn landscape.
Legend has it that the tree sprouted from a monk’s staff, and locals believe a white snake lives within, so visitors are advised not to touch it. Located about 130 km east of Seoul, it’s easily reachable by both private and public transport.
