Busan Facilities Corporation is set to improve the growing environment of the ‘Ginkgo Tree Road’ area in Yongdusan Park, a popular tourist attraction in Busan.


Approximately 100 ginkgo trees, around 70 years old, are planted along the entrance road to Yongdusan Park. Their natural tree shapes have been well preserved, making the area a well-known autumn foliage spot for tourists.

The corporation determined that the asphalt pavement on the road adjacent to the ginkgo trees is causing issues with nutrient and moisture supply to the trees. Therefore, they plan to remove the asphalt around the roots and create flower beds to ensure proper moisture and air circulation to support the trees’ growth.


Additionally, plans are underway to improve the nighttime scenery by installing lighting that evokes the Milky Way and fireflies, as well as enhancing illumination. Various programs linked to the autumn ginkgo tree road are also being considered.



Park In-ho, Acting Director of the corporation, stated, “With continuous growth management of the ginkgo trees in Yongdusan Park, we will strive to develop it into one of Busan’s most beautiful streets and support tourism activation by hosting cultural events in the autumn.”
