The local climate and soil conditions along the Gogyocheon River contribute to the trees uniformly turning yellow around the same period each year.
Asan Gogyocheon Ginkgo Tree Road is a 2.2-kilometer-long path lined with approximately 350 ginkgo trees planted in the early 1970s. The road runs along the Gogyocheon Stream and was designated as one of the 'Top 10 Most Beautiful Streets in Korea' by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. In autumn, the canopy turns a distinct bright yellow, creating a dense tunnel effect. The area includes paved walking paths and bicycle lanes separate from the vehicular road. It serves as a central hub for the Asan Culture and Art Center and local community festivals. The surrounding landscape features seasonal flower beds, including roses in the spring and cosmos in the autumn. The site remains a primary venue for regional cultural events and outdoor photography.
