    DAY-OF PLAN

    Know the sequence before you go.

    Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
    1. 01
      Check autumn traffic and mountain weather

      The tree is especially popular around colour season. Confirm road, parking, bus and trail conditions rather than timing the journey from an old foliage photograph.

    2. 02
      Allow for the uphill temple approach

      The published address identifies the Yongmunsa area, but reaching the tree involves the managed tourist-complex and temple approach rather than a curbside tree stop.

    3. 03
      Stay beyond every protection line

      The natural monument is estimated at about 1,100 years old. Do not touch roots, enter protected soil or climb for a closer photograph.

    TRAVELER FAQ

    Answers worth checking before you leave.

    Can I drive directly to the ginkgo tree?

    Do not plan it as a curbside stop. Use the managed Yongmunsan tourist-complex arrival and allow for the temple approach.

    Will the tree be yellow whenever the site is open?

    No. Autumn colour varies with date and weather; the reviewed aerial photo is seasonal.

    Is the aerial viewpoint part of the visitor route?

    No. The photo documents the real temple and tree from above; visitors must remain on the designated ground route.

    Are the operating details for Yongmunsa Ginkgo Tree live?

    The displayed guidance was checked September 8, 2026, but it is not a live operator feed. Open the linked official guide and a Korean map again on the day because hours, closures, tickets and transport can change.

    Can a traveller correct this page?

    Yes. Submit a sourced community wiki correction or a current field report; proposed facts are reviewed before becoming canonical information.

    1. 01
      Before Yangpyeong

      Check autumn traffic and mountain weather

      The tree is especially popular around colour season. Confirm road, parking, bus and trail conditions rather than timing the journey from an old foliage photograph.

    2. 02
      From the tourist complex

      Allow for the uphill temple approach

      The published address identifies the Yongmunsa area, but reaching the tree involves the managed tourist-complex and temple approach rather than a curbside tree stop.

      At the protected tree

      Stay beyond every protection line

      The natural monument is estimated at about 1,100 years old. Do not touch roots, enter protected soil or climb for a closer photograph.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Check a current foliage report before making autumn colour the sole reason for a long trip.
    • Protect enough time and suitable shoes for the approach from the tourist-complex entrance.
    • Photograph from the designated viewing area without leaning over barriers or entering the root zone.
    • Search “양평 용문사 은행나무 경기도 양평군 용문면 용문산로 782” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
    • Recheck weather, trail or garden closures, last entry and seasonal conditions before departure.
    • The audited coordinate identifies the named destination, but the final gate, parking area and step-free entrance still need a live route check.
