What could be more wonderful than drinking a cup of tea together, walking on long roads, watching the carpet of yellow and red leaves gradually changing in the enchantingly beautiful autumn weather.

| In Korea, autumn usually falls between September and November. With dry, cool weather, this is the best time for you to visit the land of kimchi. Travel enthusiasts are certainly familiar with the image of rows of trees with brilliant yellow and red leaves in Korean films. When exploring Korea this season, don't forget to look for places to see the autumn leaves. Photo:@photographvkp. |
