Inje Autumn Flower Festival

🗓️ 2026.09.24 ~ 2026.10.11

The 2026 Inje Autumn Flower Festival adds a touch of specialty by presenting a differentiated garden where literary sensibility and splendid autumn flowers harmonize to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of poet Park In-hwan, a leading figure of Korean modernist poetry. The most significant feature of this festival is that visitors can feel the literary lingering emotions while admiring colorful autumn flowers in a space that modernly reinterprets the poet’s romance.

The festival grounds are diversely composed of themed paths, each carrying a different “wish.” It is ideal for enjoying a leisurely autumn stroll, with sections devoted to happiness, love, communication, and healing, plus a well-being market and a lineup of events that make it a complete autumn outing.

Inje, Gangwon-do

Inje is a county in Gangwon-do, South Korea, located in the Baekdu-daegan mountain range. The county includes part of Seoraksan, whose highest point, Daecheongbong, is a notable summit in the area. It also has deep valleys, clear streams, and large stretches of forest. The landscape changes with the seasons: snow lingers on the ridges in winter, the slopes turn green in spring and summer, and the hillsides turn red and yellow in autumn.

The county is primarily known for outdoor recreation. Hiking and mountain biking are popular on the surrounding ridges; paragliding is available from some launch sites; and the Soyang River supports fishing and other water-based activities. In autumn, Inje also draws visitors to its gardens and lower slopes, where chrysanthemums and other late-blooming flowers bloom. These places offer a less strenuous alternative to mountain activities. The combination of rugged terrain and cultivated gardens gives the area a varied character, and tourism here includes both active and easygoing recreation.
