Daejeo Eco Park is one of Busan’s most iconic ecological parks, stretching across a vast area along the Nakdonggang River. The park is known for its diverse flowers and beautiful natural scenery throughout the four seasons. As autumn begins, pampas grass in shades of silver and beige fills the park, creating a unique and picturesque landscape. Growing as tall as a person, the pampas grass sways gently in the breeze, creating an exotic atmosphere and making the park a beloved seasonal destination from late summer to early autumn each year.

This year, too, the pampas grass has grown lush and abundant, creating a particularly beautiful sight. Paths wind through the pampas grass groves, making it easy to enjoy a leisurely stroll among the tall plumes. No matter which direction you point your camera, you can capture a picture-perfect scene. While the area is still relatively unknown, you can explore it in peace and enjoy the autumn atmosphere at a leisurely pace.

The Most Beautiful Moment Begins at Sunset

The greatest charm of the pampas grass at Daejeo Eco Park is the breathtaking scenery it creates at sunset. As the sun slowly begins to set, the pampas grass catches the warm sunlight and takes on a golden glow, creating an even more beautiful scene.

If you want to capture beautiful photos, we recommend arriving 30 minutes to an hour before sunset. This allows you to capture everything from the natural scenery in daylight to the moment the landscape is bathed in sunset hues, resulting in photos with a variety of moods and atmospheres. Since temperatures can still be quite warm during the day, visiting after 5 PM makes for a more comfortable stroll. If you’re hoping to photograph the sunset, 6 PM to 6:30 PM is when the scenery is at its most beautiful.

If you’re planning a trip to Busan or a weekend outing this fall, why not get an early taste of autumn at Daejeo Eco Park, surrounded by pampas grass swaying gently in the breeze?
