Goryeong County announced that it will host the "2026 Goryeong Dasan Ginkgo Forest Autumn Outing" over four days, November 14-15 and 21-22, in and around the Ginkgo Forest in Dasan-myeon.

Held under the theme "For Rest, For you," the event will feature 11 hands-on activities, including a forest experience school, a forest library, and workshops for making ginkgo shell inlay key rings and beeswax candles. It will also offer busking, magic and balloon performances, a flea market, and booths serving local food.

In particular, a special music program in collaboration with the KBS Daegu Broadcasting Station will be filmed on November 14.

The footage is scheduled to air nationwide on KBS 1TV's "Lee Hyun-woo's Check-in Concert" at 11:10 p.m. on November 29.

Golden photo spots, including a large gate and a Golden Road, will be set up throughout the forest. Free portrait photography and an SNS check-in event will also offer visitors special memories.

A Goryeong County official said, "We hope visitors will enjoy some leisurely rest in nature at this event, where a beautiful ginkgo forest meets cultural and hands-on programs."

The event will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on all four days. For more information, contact the Tourism Promotion Division of Goryeong County Office or the Goryeong Culture and Tourism Foundation.

The event is expected to help strengthen Goryeong's competitiveness as an autumn tourist destination by combining the area's beautiful natural scenery with cultural and hands-on activities.

Strategies are also needed to turn one-time visits into longer stays linked to local businesses.
