Gyeongnam in September is drawing attention with its autumn flower festivals and diverse travel destinations. Hapcheon Hwangmaesan offers beautiful scenery where silver grass and European hydrangeas harmonize, while Uiryeong hosts the Gigangrichi Flower Festival, welcoming visitors. The Hapcheon Cheonbulcheontap European Hydrangea Festival, in particular, is popular for its unique hydrangea landscapes intertwined with stone pagodas.
The Hwangmaesan Silver Grass Festival in Hapcheon is scheduled until mid-October, and European hydrangeas maintain their beauty until the end of October. At Hwangmaesan Provincial Park, visitors can enjoy both silver grass and hydrangeas. The Uiryeong Gigangrichi Flower Festival takes place at the Hooguk Uibyeong Forest Waterfront Park from September 24 to October 25. Hapcheon Cheonbulcheontap is a special place with stone pagodas, Maebul Buddha, and wish ribbons, offering a serene atmosphere combined with European hydrangeas. A 10,000 won donation for a wish ribbon grants free access to Cheonbulcheontap for one year.
Bloggers recommend a route at Hwangmaesan that includes both silver grass and hydrangeas, advising visitors to bring parasols for the autumn sun. The European hydrangeas at Hapcheon Cheonbulcheontap are noted for their unique charm, making them suitable for family visits or Chuseok holiday trips. Geoje Supsori Park reopened on September 23 after flood damage recovery, offering forest walks and animal experiences, though it's advisable to check the red spider lily blooming status before visiting.
