Chunghyo's old willow trees are an outdoor heritage spot at 7 Chunghyosaem-gil, Buk-gu, Gwangju, near Gwangju Lake. The Korea Tourism Organization's accessibility listing describes three surviving old willows, year-round access, four designated accessible parking spaces and a step-free approach to the entrance. However, the accessible restroom is in a public toilet beside the Gwangju Lake Ecology Management Office, not right next to the trees. Visitors should plan separate routes between parking, the trees and the restroom. The KTO page was last revised on August 14, 2025, so it does not independently confirm parking works or restroom operation in 2026. Check with the site manager before visiting.
