Daejeon's Lush Green Escape

Barley Field ❌ Wheat Field ⭕

​

I recently visited

Sungsimdang's very own Korean wheat field.

Did you know that Sungsimdang,

the pride of Daejeon,

now even grows its own wheat to bake its delicious bread?

Last year, I visited when Sungsimdang's wheat field was golden yellow,

when it was ripe.

But this time, I was curious about the lush green scenery

that can only be seen at this time of year,

so I went before it transformed into its golden hue.

A perfect spot for a light, healing stroll,

let me introduce you to Sungsimdang's vibrant green wheat field.

The path to get there can be a little tricky,

so I'll guide you carefully, step by step.

Sungsimdang Wheat Field

Currently, it is filled with vibrant green wheat.

In just a few days,

the wheat will gradually ripen to a golden yellow,

revealing a completely different ambiance.

I plan to visit again then

to capture the golden Sungsimdang Wheat Field as well :)

2. What is Sungsimdang Wheat Field?

The Sungsimdang Wheat Field

was created to cultivate the Korean wheat

used by Sungsimdang for their renowned baked goods.

Last year, the wheat cultivated here

was proudly used to launch Sungsimdang's very own 'Our Wheat Bread' (Uri-mil Bread).

Currently,

the vibrant green wheat field stretches out widely,

creating an atmosphere straight out of a movie scene.

Especially when the wheat's color is at its most beautiful,

like now, a visit will immerse you in an impressively fresh green landscape.

Every time the wind blows,

the wheat sways like waves,

a truly beautiful sight.

Simply walking through it

creates a wonderfully healing atmosphere.

This year too,

I'm already looking forward to the delicious bread that will be made from the carefully cultivated wheat here!

3. Location and Parking

The Seongsimdang Wheat Field is

located behind the back gate of

Gyochon Elementary School.

When using your navigation, search for

Gyochon Elementary School and visit from there.

📍 From the Gyochon Elementary School back gate direction

→ Seongsimdang Sign Photo Zone

📍 From the main road side

→ No entry

No dedicated parking lot

Use the alleyways around Gyochon Elementary School

Since it's not a famous tourist spot,

there isn't a dedicated parking lot.

You'll need to park in the alleyways near

Gyochon Elementary School before visiting.

🚍 Public Transportation

You can take buses 211 / 212 / 704 / Village Bus 3.

After getting off at J-Park Apartments,

it's about a 10-minute walk.

4. Why I Recommend It as a Solo Travel Spot

The Seongsimdang Wheat Field isn't

a bustling tourist spot.

Instead, it's more like a place where you can

quietly walk, listen to the wind,

gaze at the green scenery, and simply zone out.

That's why it was actually

perfect for a leisurely solo walk.

It's wonderful to walk with earphones in,

listening to music, or just bring a camera

and enjoy a photo-taking stroll.

Especially

when the wind blows,

seeing the green wheat sway was incredibly

healing, even just by watching.

4. My Actual Walking Route (How to Get There)

How to Get There & Route

Gyochon Elementary School Back Gate Parking → Seongsimdang Sign Photo Zone → Green Wheat Field Walking Path

From the back gate of Gyochon Elementary School

to the Seongsimdang Wheat Field,

there are no separate signs.

Please follow along with the photos.

Exit through the back gate of Gyochon Elementary School (parking area)

and walk along the road.

After walking a short distance, you'll come to a fork in the road.

From here, walk a little further to the right (on the unpaved path),

and then...

You'll see a blue barrel + a greenhouse.

The Seongsimdang Wheat Field is right in front of it.

Last year, the accessible

roadside entrance

is now off-limits.

You can only enter through the back gate of GyoChon Elementary School.

Since it's not a designated tourist spot,

you won't find specially designated paths

for sightseeing.

Along the narrow paths winding through the wheat fields,

you'll need to explore carefully.

Taking my time, snapping photos as I went,

about 30 minutes

was perfect for a leisurely stroll.

5. Top Photo Spots & My Takeaway

Best Photo Spots
Sungsimdang Sign	The iconic spot for your proof-of-visit shot
The Green Wheat Wave Section	Recommend burst shots when the wind blows / Capturing video here creates a truly magical vibe.

As soon as you step inside,

you'll immediately spot the Sungsimdang sign!

Here,

you absolutely *must* snap a photo – it's

the quintessential photo op!

Within the wheat fields themselves,

you won't find any manicured walking paths.

You can wander and explore along the narrow tracks that form organically between the wheat stalks,

moving carefully as you go.

This means, unlike a typical tourist attraction,

you'll get to experience a truly natural and wild

wheat field.

Heads up: the wheat leaves are surprisingly prickly,

and the grass can be quite lush,

so long pants are definitely recommended over shorts.

Sneakers and long pants are your best bet!

The absolute biggest charm of this place is undoubtedly

the endlessly sprawling tapestry of green.

From a distance, it might look like a barley field,

but up close,

you'll feel the soft, unique texture of wheat.

Especially when the wind whispers through,

the emerald hues ripple like waves,

creating a truly mesmerizing sight.

It's truly the perfect spot for a light, refreshing, and healing stroll!

If you visit around sunset,

as the golden hour light softens,

the vibrant green hues

are captured even more beautifully in your photos.

Instead of the harsh midday sun,

I highly recommend visiting in the late afternoon!

6. Insider Tips for Your Visit

✔️ It's all dirt paths and grassy fields, so sneakers are a must!

✔️ With abundant grass and prickly wheat leaves, long pants are highly recommended.

✔️ Not a fan of bugs? Mosquito repellent is your best friend here!

✔️ Please refrain from entering the wheat field → It's active farmland.

✔️ Recommended on windy days → The waving wheat fields are absolutely stunning!

Seongsimdang's lush green wheat fields are

a place where just walking is a healing experience in itself.

The best part is that you don't have to travel far

to find such vibrant greenery and natural beauty

right here in the outskirts of Daejeon.

It's highly recommended for those moments when you want to take a peaceful stroll

and listen to the wind,

capture some aesthetic photos,

or simply walk through lush green landscapes.
