As the sweltering summer yields to the cool embrace of autumn, it opens up a golden opportunity to explore the scenic beauty of Korea. Widely celebrated as one of the most breathtaking seasons in the region, fall transforms the landscape into a vibrant canvas of rich hues and refreshing breezes. If a Korean adventure is on your horizon, here are five must-visit destinations to include in your travel itinerary this season.
1. Nami Island: If you're looking for a more scenic place to tour, visit Nami Island. While it's usually blooming green in the fall, all the leaves change into beautiful yellow, red, and orange. This is also where the hit drama "Winter Sonata" was shot, so it'll feel like you're also within a K-drama!
2. Wondaeri Birch Forest: With more than 700,000 birch trees planted, you'll be amazed when you glance upon this forest. The contrast between the autumn foliage and the white bark of the birch trees is definitely a sight to see.
3. Dumulmeori: If you're looking for a unique spot to visit in Korea, make sure to visit Dumulmeori, meaning "area of two waters." this place is where you can witness the rivers of Bukhangang and Namhangang meet.
4. Asan Gingko Tree Road: A long road lined with towering trees and leaves that are golden yellow, Asan Gingko Tree Road, although it's a bit of a far travel from Seoul, it's well worth the trip for the beauty it beholds.
5. Seoraksan National Park: If you're up for a hike, this is definitely a go-to spot in the fall season. This is the first place to see the autumn foliage. The dips and valleys of the cliffs are bound to capture your attention.
Indeed, South Korea is one of the best places to visit in the fall, for it offers such beautiful scenery that you can't find anywhere else.
