[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] The silver grass blooming on Cheongwansan Mountain (723m) in Jangheung-gun, Jeonnam, sways welcoming autumn. The silver grass that covers the mountain every fall is one of Jangheung-gun's most famous scenic spots, attracting many tourists.

Cheongwansan is one of the five famous mountains in Honam, known for its bizarre rock formations and the 10-ri (approximately 4 km) trail where silver grass waves from Yeondaebong Peak to Gujeongbong Peak.

The silver grass on Cheongwansan reaches its peak between mid and late October, and the scenery of the silver grass fields at sunset harmonizes beautifully with the view of the Dadohae (Korean Archipelago).

The typical hiking course through the silver grass fields is a round trip starting and ending at Jangcheonjae, passing through Geumgang Cave, Gujeongbong Peak, the silver grass ridge, Yeondaebong Peak, and Jeongwonseok.

After walking through the silver grass fields, travelers can enhance their experience by enjoying autumn's representative delicacies, such as Jeoneo (gizzard shad) and Jjukkumi (webfoot octopus).
