1. Gimhae Daeseong-dong Tombs

Travel back to the era of the ancient Gaya Kingdom at the Daeseong-dong Tombs in Gimhae.

This historic site contains important royal and elite burial grounds associated with Gaya, an ancient civilization that flourished in southern Korea nearly 2,000 years ago.

The area is also known for its beautiful open scenery and distinctive lone tree, making it a great place for photography.

You can also enjoy beautiful views around Mureunggyo Bridge and take a relaxing walk through the village.

3. Jinju Namgang Lantern Festival

The final destination is the highlight of the tour — the Jinju Namgang Lantern Festival.

Every autumn, the Namgang River and the surrounding streets of Jinju are transformed by colorful lanterns, illuminated sculptures, and large-scale light displays.

The festival has its roots in Jinju's history and has grown into one of Korea's best-known autumn celebrations.

Enjoy free time to walk along the riverside, discover different lantern displays, take nighttime photos, watch festival performances, and explore local food stalls.

As darkness falls and the lanterns reflect across the Namgang River, you will experience one of the most beautiful night scenes of autumn in Korea.
