Event summary

Highlights

  • admiring vibrant red spider lilies
  • exploring Bulgapsa Temple and its surroundings
  • walking scenic autumn trails
Held in Yeonggwang-gun County, Jeollanam-do Province, the festival centers around the ancient Bulgapsa Temple. It offers visitors the chance to admire a 'sea of sangsahwa' – red spider lilies – which color the mountain foothills crimson. The flower's name, 'sangsahwa,' is derived from the folklore that its blossoms and leaves appear at different times and thus can never meet. Attendees can enjoy the serene fall scenery of a Korean autumn by walking on trails that wind through the extensive displays of red flowers. The event is presented as an appealing cultural activity for those traveling in the region, including during the Chuseok holiday period.
