Why go

Sinsa-dong Garosu-gil — literally "tree-lined road" — is a 700-meter ginkgo-shaded avenue in Seoul's Sinsa-dong, long considered the city's flagship street for design-led independent retail and cafes. The trees turn brilliant gold in late October, drawing photographers, and the side streets ("Sero-gil") branch off into smaller boutiques and bakeries. Brand presence has grown more polished over the years — global flagships now sit beside the original boutiques — but the human scale and tree canopy keep it walkable rather than mall-like. Best in mid-October for ginkgo color. Pair with Apgujeong-rodeo or a short metro ride to Gangnam Station for a full south-of-river fashion day.
