Inje Secret Garden in Gangwon-Do

Inje Secret Garden located in Gangwon Province is truly secret. When I was in Inje with Imagine Your Korea team to do the video shoot, I was awed by the amount of people visiting the place. Which is non-existent, it was only me and the Imagine Your Korea team. It is not actually open for public but the autumn foliage in Inje Secret Garden is undeniably beautiful. Rows of mountains painted in the colour of autumn. The place is not exactly a park. It is more like a forest with natural and man-made path.

Apology first because I cannot give you the exact detail of the location. I went here by car and slept all my way through here. All I do know is the so-called name “Inje Secret Garden”. I wouldn’t say this place is a tourist attraction, but it has huge potential to be one. The location is also nearby a military-based camp, which probably why the area seems secluded and not much public attention. Gangwon-Do is outside Seoul and you definitely need a transportation to get to Gangwon Province. If you go beyond Seoul, there’s so many destinations with raw, untouched nature. But let’s just appreciate the beauty of autumn in Inje Secret Garden through the pictures that I took.

Way to Inje

Hope you enjoy this little picture-based blog post of South Korea. I was really blessed to be invited by Imagine Your Korea as part of the Autumn Paintings video. The places that they took me to were out of the world and nothing like I’ve ever seen before. And even though it’s spring time right now, it’s never too late to plan a trip for autumn to South Korea;)
