This path is undoubtedly the main spot to witness Beomeosa's stunning fall foliage. Even visiting a bit later in the season, I found it quite popular with fellow admirers.
The vibrant maple leaves against the backdrop of the temple buildings along Beomeosa's autumn path felt even more beautiful, allowing you to capture the entire breathtaking scene at once.
Even the ground, blanketed with fallen crimson and gold leaves, is a sight to behold. It truly feels like autumn has fully arrived! 🤎🤍

Along the fall foliage path, you'll find several popular photo spots where people love to capture the moment – though honestly, it's so beautiful everywhere, you're bound to get a great shot no matter where you point your camera!
I even picked up a beautiful fallen maple leaf as a little souvenir! 😚
Just a short walk down from the parking lot, you'll discover a charming restaurant serving delicious Pajeon (savory Korean pancake) and Duck Bulgogi.
For those visiting without a car, I highly recommend stopping here for some Pajeon and Makgeolli (Korean rice wine) – it's the perfect way to cap off your temple visit! ‼️
