The autumn in Seoul is so beautiful. The ginkgo trees on the road beside Gyeongbokgung Palace are very beautiful

Every late autumn, Seoul quietly dons a golden coat, and the entire city seems to be surrounded by the gentle sunlight and the poetic atmosphere of fallen leaves. One of the most unforgettable scenes is the road neatly lined with ginkgo trees around Gyeongbokgung Palace. When November comes, the leaves turn from green to yellow, as if they have been dyed by the sun, presenting a dazzling and soft golden yellow. They sway gently in the breeze, just like a slow fall of golden rain.

This ginkgo avenue is located on one side of Sejong Avenue, right next to the east wall of Gyeongbokgung Palace. It is a must-visit spot for many citizens and tourists every year. On weekends, many people come here especially for a stroll. Underfoot is the rustling sound of layers of fallen leaves, and above head is a golden corridor formed by interwoven arched branches, with dappled light and shadow, creating a dreamlike and illusory scene. Whether you are a photography enthusiast capturing the fleeting moments of light and shadow, a couple strolling hand in hand, or a solitary traveler quietly experiencing the changing seasons, this place offers a serene and profound autumn experience.

The ginkgo tree itself is also symbolic. As one of the oldest tree species on Earth, the ginkgo tree is tenacious and has uniquely shaped leaves, earning it the title of "living fossil". In Korean culture, it is also often regarded as a symbol of tenacity and hope. Although the brief color-changing period lasts only two or three weeks each year, it attracts countless people to stop and admire it, and also reflects people's deep yearning for the beauty of nature.

Apart from the visual shock, the atmosphere in this area is also particularly pleasant. Along the way, you can see street performers playing gentle music, coffee trucks offering steaming hot drinks, and occasionally encounter tourists dressed in Hanbok returning from a visit to Gyeongbokgung Palace, wandering among the golden tree shadows. At this moment, tradition and modernity blend together, forming a highly representative autumn picture of Seoul.

It can be said that this ginkgo road is not only a witness to the change of seasons but also a part of the city's memory. Its beauty lies not only in the intensity of its colors, but also in its fleeting preciousness - reminding people to slow down and savor those subtle yet touching moments in life. If you have the chance to visit Seoul in autumn, you mustn't miss this golden feast beside Gyeongbokgung Palace.
