Jangsu-dong Ginkgo Tree 장수동 은행나무
Incheon · Sorae Port & Incheon Grand Park · Sights
Standing in a village corner, this huge ginkgo is protected as a natural monument and is thought to be around eight centuries old. Its branches spread wide and droop at the tips, creating a golden dome in autumn that draws photographers and families from across the region. Falling leaves carpet the ground in a short window, usually in early November.
The tree is easy to see in a quick stop, and a modest fence keeps visitors back from the roots. Smells from ginkgo fruit can appear later in the season. Nearby restaurants and cafes make it simple to combine with a meal.
Visits are free, but traffic and parking get busy at peak foliage.
Take a taxi or bus from Incheon Bus Terminal Station (인천터미널역) toward Incheon Grand Park's east gate. (Show a driver: 장수동 은행나무)
