![[Gonjiam Hwadam Botanic Garden October] Reservations, Recommended Monorail Sections & Courses: A Real Review After 4 Hours LOL](https://mblogthumb-phinf.pstatic.net/MjAyNjEwMDNfMTgw/MDAxNzkwOTU0ODkwNDQy.dnmcSlTtq9VKroLoMOJ0Zi_hje3kvcQCekG7UvIfnfMg.qVXOAQkdjGJ1ZaSa1hiI2d6MblVe1zWxaN65DwEqvN8g.GIF/20261002_114102%281%29.gif?type=w800)
Hwadam Forest is experiencing an increase in visitors, especially for its monorail, as the autumn foliage season approaches. While online advance booking is generally recommended, some bloggers suggest that on-site ticket purchases might be possible, allowing for flexible visit planning.
The monorail ticket is separate from the admission ticket, with prices varying by section: 5,000 KRW for 1→2, 7,000 KRW for 1→3, and 9,000 KRW for the full loop. For those who prefer less walking, the 1→3 section followed by a downhill stroll is recommended, and booking the 1st section in advance is advisable. While booking is essential during peak foliage, on-site purchases might be an option during off-peak times.
Bloggers noted that even before the peak foliage in early October, the green scenery was beautiful, and fewer crowds allowed for a more relaxed experience. If desired dates are sold out, checking frequently for cancellations is advised. Visitors also suggest that exploring Hwadam Forest solely on foot can be an equally enjoyable experience, even without the monorail.
