If you want to see the beauty of autumn in Korea, you must check out Asan Gingko Tree Road. It is easily one of Korea’s most photogenic walking roads and is located in the Asan-si countryside.
Asan Gingko Tree Road (은행나무길)
Eunhaeng namu-gil 은행나무길 is also known as Asan Gingko Tree Road. This is probably one of the most popular Autumn walks, especially if you’re anywhere near Pyeongtaek.
While it’s a beautiful walk at any time of year, you won’t want to miss it during the Autumn Season. This area is great for a walk or run, alone or accompanied. And for movers of any age, it is also stroller-friendly, dog-friendly, and bicycle-friendly. There’s even a spot to rent bikes. However, please note that the pedestrian walk and bike trails are separate.
This walk is lined with a few cafes, such as Eunhaengnamu-gil Cafe (Gingko Road Cafe), which also has tarot card readings. Also, Underhill or Eondeohil, has lunch options and a rooftop level. However, Gallery Cafe Monet has the best view of Gingko Tree Road and also has its own, albeit small, parking area.

Parking for Asan Gingko Tree Road
You’ll likely see a few parking lots along the path which fill up quickly and may be difficult to get in and out of during peak season. While I tend to prefer finding street parking nearby and walk to Asan Gingko Tree Road, here are a couple of recommendations since parking becomes quite competitive during the Autumn season.

Visit Hyeongchungsa Shrine (현충사)
While in the area, make sure to also visit the Hyeonchungsa Shrine (현충사) nearby, which is my favorite Autumn experience. Hyeonchungsa Shrine is free and in walking distance to Asan Gingko Road, so you can visit both and not have to search for parking twice.
