The ginkgo tree to the left of the main gate, Manhwaru, is a popular spot featured on Instagram and blogs.

As of November 17, 2024, the ginkgo tree located to the left of Manhwaru has beautifully turned yellow.

When the wind blows on weekends, it scatters ginkgo leaves on the ground, creating a carpet-like effect.

Despite the chilly weather, many individuals—including couples dressed up to capture the autumn with their loved ones, tourists who came to Jeonju with friends, and families enjoying quality time together—visited Jeonju Hyanggyo to savor its autumn ambiance.

There’s often a long line of people waiting to take photos with the brightly yellowed ginkgo trees.

Going up to the second floor via the stairs allows for a panoramic view of the ginkgo trees.

From the second floor, you can sit and snap photos against the backdrop of the ginkgo trees.

The fluttering of ginkgo leaves in the wind brings cheers from visitors all around Hyanggyo.

They welcome visitors with a majestic and mystical feel.

People sit under the ginkgo leaves to take photos and bring props to capture the fleeting autumn, creating memories, not just pictures.

After admiring the ginkgo tree at Daeseongjeon, if you pass through the Ipdeokmun Gate, you’ll reach Myeongnyundang.

By mid-November (expected between the 21st and 22nd), the ginkgo tree at Myeongnyundang should turn fully yellow, showcasing a stunning landscape.

Exiting Gyeseongsa and turning right, I recommend walking down the alleyway.
