RAKAN KOREA : PLACES TO GO DURING AUTUMN IN SOUTH KOREA

The season now in Korea is probably summer and the weather is almost like in Malaysia. Hot sunny like in Malaysia. So in this post I will write about autumn in Korea since we don't have autumn in Malaysia. I went to Korea on my last trip during autumn and it's a very pleasant trip even it's almost winter but I still got to see some maple tree! 

There are few places that suggested to go during autumn season in Korea. If you planning to go on autumn season, don't forget to add below places in your itinerary! Let's get started!

1. Seoraksan National Park


The mountain was named Seorak ('Seol' meaning 'snow' and 'Ak' meaning 'big mountain') because the snow would not melt for a long time keeping the rocks in a permanent state of white. When it comes to autumn destinations, the first mountain that comes to mind for most is Seoraksan Mountain. A feast for the eyes throughout the year, rich colors make Seoraksan a main attraction in autumn. There are plenty of hiking trails along the mountainside.

Location : Buk-myeon, Inje-gun, Gangwon-do

2. Jirisan National Park


Beloved in Korea, Jirisan Mountain is rugged in form and impressive in scale. During peak foliage season in late October, the slopes blaze with brilliant colors in the rocky landscape, while Piagol Valley and Baemsagol Valley offer great hiking trails. Jirisan also extends across three provinces (Jeollanam-do, Jeollabukm-do, Gyeongsangnam-do), and many choose to go on overnight hiking trips to fully appreciate the mountain.

Location : 320-2, Jirisan-daero, Sancheong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do

3. Namiseom Island


Namiseom Island is 63 km away from Seoul in the direction of Chuncheon, and is famous for its beautiful tree lined roads. The island is 30 minutes away from Chuncheon and an hour away from the suburbs of Seoul. Since it is not far from Seoul, many couples and families come to visit. Many people came here during autumn because the sight is worth to pay a visit.

4. Namsan Park



As you walk up from Namdaemun Market to Namsan Mountain, you will also find a number of notable sites such as the Goethe-Institut Korea, Namsan Library, and Namsan Botanical Garden. Take the walking path from Namsan Library to the mountain for about 10 minutes, and you will arrive at the popular N Seoul Tower. The N Seoul Tower observatory is a must-visit attraction for a unique view of fall foliage in Seoul. The observatory has a glass façade and offers a panoramic view of the city. As the sun sets, sit at the café with a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy the dramatic cityscape from the tower.

Location: Huam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul

5. Deoksugung Palace


Also known as ‘Jeongdong-gil road,’ Deoksugung Doldam-gil (Deoksugung Stone Wall Road) is the road along Deoksugung Palace’s stone wall and is a popular place for romantic strolls. In the fall, yellow ginkgo leaves add to the romantic ambience. This elegant road is about 900 meters long and stretches from Deoksugung Palace by Seoul City Hall to Jeongdong Theater. There are numerous cultural sites as well as traditional and modern structures along the way that make the trip all the more worthwhile.

Location: 5-1, Jeong-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul
