Recommended autumn trekking destinations in Korea

Cool temperatures and colors change from the vibrant greens of
summer to a rich palette of red, orange and yellow, signaling the arrival of
autumn. Though numerous areas across Korea offer brilliant displays of autumn
leaves, the mountains are still considered the quintessential destination. This
year, the leaves are expected to change color around late September at Seoraksan
Mountain and spread southwards across the central and southern parts of Korea.
Fall foliage generally reaches its peak in two weeks from the time the leaves
begin to change, meaning this year’s peak foliage is expected to hit the central
region around late October, and the southern region around early November. This
is when locals typically hit the road to revel in the splendor of the changing
of the seasons.

A Heartwarming Trip to Jeonju Hanok Village

About a 2 hour KTX train ride from Seoul, Jeonju welcomes visitors with its charming and relaxed atmosphere. No better place encapsulates the particular atmosphere unique to Jeonju like the Jeonju Hanok Village nestled in the heart of the city. From the train station, the Hanok Village is only about 20 minutes by taxi, and once you arrive, you will come face to face with the time-honored streets lined with traditional hanok houses and wonderful landmarks like the Jeondong Catholic Cathedral.

Located in the center of Jeollabuk-do, Jeonju has long been known as a city of art, style, and delicious food. It is often referred to as “a city of yehyang” (a place that has a wide appreciation for arts and is home to many artists), but has made its name as a city booming with traditional culture and an authentic Korean feel. At the heart of Jeonju is the Jeonju Hanok Village, which was designated as an International Slow City in 2010 in recognition of its relaxed pace of life where traditional culture and the natural environment mix perfectly. The village is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Korea and offers, among many other activities, an opportunity to see pansori, which is a traditional Korean opera inscribed as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Comprised of around 800 hanoks (traditional Korean houses), the Jeonju Hanok Village is where past and the present coexist in harmony.
