Why go

Yangpyeong Yongmunsa Ginkgo Tree is one of Korea's most famous individual trees — a 1,100-year-old ginkgo at Yongmunsa Temple in Yangpyeong, designated as Natural Monument No. 30. Standing about 42 meters tall, it is one of the largest and oldest ginkgos in Asia and a major destination during autumn foliage season when the leaves turn golden. The tree is associated with Goryeo-era legend (planted by King Sejong's brother). For travelers visiting Yangpyeong during autumn, the Yongmunsa ginkgo is one of the strongest single picks in the country — combining major heritage tree, Buddhist temple, and seasonal foliage.
