Soft floodlights illuminate the entrance to the arboretum and the House of Mugunghwa, allowing visitors to enjoy the beautiful nighttime scenery of the arboretum.

In particular, the 100-meter stone wall path leading to the House of Mugunghwa-a popular photo spot-has been decorated with lumistone and blacklight lighting, creating the feeling of walking along the Milky Way.

Additionally, a 280-meter section of the main walking trail inside the Mugunghwa Arboretum is adorned with pastel-colored floodlights and lasers, adding vibrant colors to the diverse forest landscape and bringing life to the nighttime forest, making evening strolls through the arboretum even more enjoyable.
