1. Eulsukdo Eco Park

Opposite the Museum of Contemporary Art Busan, the Picnic field at Eulsukdo Eco Park becomes pink during the end of September, the climax of autumn. Pink muhly, called Muhlenbergia capillaries, is in full bloom, making you feel the atmosphere of autumn and fall. It is not very large, but it is a cluster that surrounds the corner of the park in a circular shape, so it is not enough to enjoy a light walk and feel the autumn feeling. (Unfortunately, the beautiful spot cannot be seen currently as the pink muhly grass was cut off because of COVID-19.)

A wide grass field extends in the middle of the park’s Picnic field. Why not resting under the shade of a big tree and feel the gentle autumn breeze when you are tired from walking around the pink muhly grass field to take once-in-a-lifetime photos? Picnic field as from its name, you can know that many people are having a picnic on mats or reading books under the trees’ shades.

Eulsukdo Park shines the most when the sun goes down. The drowsy sunlight dyes the world golden and creates a scene in the movie. If you want to take great portraits, don't miss this moment. Life photography is born in this light.

2. Samnak Eco Park

Located about 10 minutes away by car from Eulsukdo Eco Park, Samnak Eco Park is an urban park with varying landscapes per season every year. The season when you can fully feel the charm of Samrak Ecological Park is definitely autumn. This is because you can meet the endless scenery of pure white reed flowers. A feast of reed flowers can be seen throughout Samnak Eco Park from mid-September to the end of October. Reeds flowers grow densely along Nakdonggang River, making it difficult to know where the field ends. As the wind blows, the white reeds begin to sway together like waves. They seem to hang on each other's shoulders and wanted to dance group dances, and each waved their bodies in the wind, showing off their splendid figure. If you stand still and watch it, a smile pops up on your face.

The Wetland Park at Samnak Eco Park allows you to take a pleasant walk in the autumn wind. Along with the glory of lotus flowers blooming in summer, the reed flowers are also eye-catching. Do not miss either the wildflower garden or cosmos flower field, flush with various flowers. As you leisurely walk along the trail through trees while enjoying the diverse autumn scene, you will completely forget how time passes.

3. Daejeo Eco Park

The pink muhly habitat at Daejeo Eco Park is much larger than that of Eulsukdo Eco Park. The wide space allows people to take pictures or enjoy sightseeing freely despite the crowds. Compared to Eulsukdo Eco Park and Samnak Eco Park, its landscape blends with the city’s scenery. Although it does not seem to be completely separated from the city center like Eulsukdo or Samrak Ecological Park, the coolness of the spacious space around the Nakdong River is the charm of Daejeo Ecological Park. Busan is a place where there are many mountains, does not have more flat land than expected. Most are slopes or hills, making it difficult to meet the horizon. However, in Daejeo Ecological Park, you can meet the horizon. Also, another advantage is Daejeo Ecological Park is close to Gangseo-gu Office Station on Subway Line 3, so you can always find it easily.

A long trail runs along the riverbank. Trees line up nicely on both sides of the trail, with reed flowers sparsely peeking in between. A path through the bamboo grove also welcomes people. Although the landscape is not as overwhelming as Samnak Eco Park, it still gives off the perfect autumn feel. The travel experience reaches a climax when a plane from Gimhae International Airport flies against the sunset’s glow. If you have a camera, you should press the shutter to capture that specific moment.
