Backup routes for different situations
If it's raining heavily
Extend your time at the Kim Su-yeong Literature Museum's indoor exhibits → Visit the Grave of Yeonsangun and the Tomb of Princess Jeongui briefly, with an umbrella → Pass quickly through the ginkgo tree and Wondangsaem Spring Park
If it's crowded during fall foliage season
To avoid crowds near the ginkgo tree, visit early in the morning, or rebuild your route around the Grave of Yeonsangun, the Tomb of Princess Jeongui, and the Kim Su-yeong Literature Museum instead.
If walking is difficult, or accessibility is a concern
Limit your visit to comparing the Grave of Yeonsangun and the Tomb of Princess Jeongui, and save the ginkgo tree and literature museum for a future visit.
