Imjingang Kochia Garden 2026 — Free Admission and Getting There from Yeoncheon
Looking for an autumn-flower outing
along the Imjin River in Yeoncheon? 🌿
The Imjingang Kochia Garden seasonal opening
(임진강 댑싸리 정원 개장) runs
September 19 (Sat)–October 18 (Sun)
in Samgot-ri, Jung-myeon, Yeoncheon.
This guide follows the county tourism notice
and Gyeonggi Province’s October 1 article.
It was open at the October 8 check.
The remaining published period then was October 8–18.
Garden visits can be planned within those dates,
but activity-booth days and hours need separate confirmation.

🎪 What is the event?
It is the autumn opening of a garden
beside the Imjin River.
The county introduces kochia that changes
from summer green to autumn red.
Gyeonggi’s current-year article describes
82,390 square metres planted with
23,000 kochia plants and seasonal flowers.
It says the garden uses land in the inundation area
created after Gunnam Dam was built.
The permanent Korea Tourism Organization listing
gives different area and planting figures,
so this guide uses the 2026 provincial announcement.
These sources do not establish today’s colours
or whether the flowers are at their peak.
✨ What can we see?

Kochia and seasonal flowers share the garden.
Here are the areas and booths introduced
in the official October 1 article.
| Area | Announced features |
|---|---|
| Autumn flower garden | Kochia, zinnias, buckwheat flowers and sulphur cosmos |
| Peace Garden preview booth | Bird’s-eye plan, photo zone and flowerpot-making activities |
| Food and direct-sales market | Jung-myeon merchants’ food stalls and local agricultural products |
The Peace Garden booth previews a regional garden
scheduled for completion in 2027.
It is separate from an opening of the completed garden.
Flowerpot activity eligibility, material fees
and registration are not specified in the article.
If your child wants to participate,
check availability on your chosen date.
Food menus and prices are also unconfirmed.
📅 How long is the remaining opening period?
The calendar marks official opening dates only;
the public guidance reviewed contains no performance timetable.
| Date | Confirmed schedule as of October 8 |
|---|---|
| 10/8 (Thu)–10/18 (Sun) | Remaining garden-opening period |
| 10/18 (Sun) | Last official opening day |
Gyeonggi Province lists free admission.
That does not include bus fares or activity materials.
Daily opening hours are absent from the county notice;
ask before travelling.
🚇 Getting there and parking

The destination is 422 Samgot-ri, Jung-myeon, Yeoncheon.
These routes come from the county
and provincial guidance.
| Transport | Boarding and arrival |
|---|---|
| Train | Transfer to a bus at Yeoncheon Station, Line 1 |
| Bus 35-2 or 100 | Alight at Jung-myeon Office, then walk five minutes |
| Temporary event bus | Board in front of Yeoncheon Post Office, across from station Exit 3 |
| Car | Search for Imjingang Kochia Garden in navigation |
The county lists three regular-bus services a day
and event shuttles at 30-minute intervals.
The province’s October 1 article describes
16 temporary-bus services daily,
charged at Gyeonggi city-bus fares.
Because the descriptions differ, no first/last
or exact departure times are calculated here.
Distinguish this from the separately bookable
Yeoncheon City Tour, also departing near the station.
The city-tour website has a separate notice
with the event-period operating timetable.
Parking location, fees and overflow options
were not confirmed in these official sources.
The street address alone does not establish parking availability.
👨👩👧 What helps with kids?
The Korea Tourism Organization facilities guide lists
no nursing room or stroller rental,
and a level difference at the main entrance.
These are permanent-facility details;
ask whether temporary event facilities are provided.
Bring a stroller if needed and ask which
entrance and walking sections are passable.
After seeing the flowers, decide on activity booths
according to on-site operation and your child’s energy.

but the last return bus needs confirmation.
Plan the journey home before your visit.
⏳ What is not confirmed in the announcements?

□ Daily opening and last-admission times
□ Temporary-bus first/last departures
□ Activity days, material fees and booking
