THE SEASON
Korea’s Most Photogenic Grass
Pink muhly is an ornamental grass whose feathery tops turn a soft pink each autumn. Together with silver grass and maple leaves, it’s one of the three classic sights of a Korean autumn — and a favourite backdrop for photos.
The colour usually peaks from late September to late October. This year it’s at its best right now, so the coming weekend is one of the last great chances to see it.
Go in the late afternoon — the setting sun makes the pink glow.

GOOD TO KNOW
Quick Questions
When is pink muhly season?
Usually from late September to late October. In 2026 it’s at its peak now, so go as soon as you can.
Which spot is free?
Olympic Park in Seoul and Misa Gyeongjeong Park in Hanam are both free. Nari Farm, Herb Island and Anseong Farmland charge admission.
What’s the easiest without a car?
Olympic Park — it’s right in Seoul on the subway, so you can pop in for an hour around sunset.
Any photo tips?
Shoot with the sun behind the grass in the late afternoon so it glows, and stay on the paths — walking into the fields damages the plants.
