 3 Best Autumn Foliage Spots in Korea

One of things that people are waiting for in autumn is breathtaking foliage. Korea is a perfect place to enjoy it since it has distinctive four seasons. A peak of beautiful foliage does not last for long so we need to get ready ahead of time. These are 3 best autumn foliage spots you need to make a note for! 2017 foliage is supposed to start around Oct 16 and will reach the peak around Oct 29.

Palgong Mountain



If you are staying in Korea for fall, Palgong Mountain is a must place to look at picturesque scene. Lit with sunshine, orange, red, brown and yellow leaves looks as if they just came out of a painting.  Its drive course is popular all year around especially during this time. The highlight of the 11km-long drive starts from Sutaegol and ends at Pagae Three-way Street. You will be able to park at parking lots sporadically located along the way. Another secret is to take a ride to Mt. Palgong cable car and see the scenic view from up above.
