Hapcheon Sinsoyang Park

Sinsoyang Sports Park — Pink Muhly and Silver Grass in Hapcheon in One Day

Sinsoyang Sports Park in Hapcheon, Gyeongnam, despite its name, is bustling with pink muhly in autumn. What distinguishes it from other pink muhly fields where flowers are spread on flat ground is that the hills are designed in a spiral. From below, the whole thing isn't visible, but as you walk up, your view opens up, and from the top of the hill, the entire spiral comes into view at a glance. The charm of this place is that the pattern is visible even without a drone.

Visitor Information

Pink muhly is all about its color, so there's virtually nothing to see after sunset. Even though it's open 24 hours, visiting after work or sunset is not recommended. You should visit during the day, preferably in the morning.

Peak for Just 3 Weeks

The peak season for pink muhly is late September to mid-October, about 3 weeks. After this period, the color fades. At the same time, the cluster of yellow cosmos at the park entrance also blooms, bringing yellow and pink into one frame. If you're eager for photos, these overlapping 3 weeks are your only chance.

To Make Hapcheon a Day Trip — With Hwangmaesan

Hapcheon also has Hwangmaesan, famous for its silver grass. The two are opposite in nature, so including both in one day won't be boring.

Early to mid-October, when the silver grass and pink muhly peaks overlap, is the optimal time to do Hapcheon as a one-day course. This means seeing Hwangmaesan's silver grass in the morning and finishing with Sinsoyang Sports Park's pink muhly in the afternoon.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is there an admission fee or parking? Both are free. There are about 100 parking spaces, and if full, you can use the nearby Hatdeul Ecological Park.
• When is the pink muhly in season? The peak is from late September to mid-October, for about 3 weeks.
• Can I visit at night? Although it's open 24 hours, there's no lighting, so it's hard to see after sunset. Visit during the day.
• Can I see it with Hwangmaesan? In early to mid-October, the peak seasons for silver grass and pink muhly overlap, so both are possible in one day.

It's a good idea to combine it with other autumn flower attractions nationwide during the same period.
