On the first day of the Chuseok holiday, hikers visiting Ganwoldae at Deungeok Alps Village in Sangbuk-myeon, Ulju-gun, Ulsan, are enjoying their hike amidst the silver pampas grass plains spreading across the foothills of Sinbulsan and Ganwolsan.

At Ganwoldae Rest Area, where tens of thousands of hikers gathered that day, a remarkable scene unfolded with long lines forming to purchase cup noodles and beverages.

Ganwoldae is a highland area over 900 meters above sea level where the ridges of Sinbulsan and Ganwolsan, known as the "Yeongnam Alps," meet. It is famous for its pampas grass clusters in autumn.
