It is officially autumn in Korea! Many people say fall is their favorite season because of the cool but sunny weather, and it is no different in Korea. If you are in Korea in the fall, you will definitely want to do the following 6 things.

Eat Odeng (Fish Cake) And Roasted Chestnuts On The Street

There can be a large temperature difference in a day when it becomes fall in Korea. The day can be sunny and warm, but nights get very cold.

In autumn, you will see many stalls on the street selling odeng (오뎅/fish cake) and roasted chestnuts. Standing at the stall eating odeng and sipping a cup of the soup will help you stay warm.

Also, remember to buy a bag of roasted chestnuts, which is both warm to hold and delicious!

Buy A Beige Coat

Every autumn, beige and brown colors come back into the spotlight. Maybe because they suits the scenery and autumn weather. If you are in Korea, you will definitely want to keep up with the trends and buy yourself a beige or brown coat.

Glamping 

This is probably on the bucket list for many people, myself included. Autumn is the perfect season to go for you to go glamping (glamorous + camping) because the sun is not too strong, so you can sit in the tent without getting too hot.

In addition, the cool weather also makes BBQ parties even better. In Korea today, there are many campsites with facilities and supplies prepared, you just need to bring food. It's a great activity to do with friends or as a couple and it's not as intense as real camping. I like the caravan style like the picture below!

Go To Nami Island And Enjoy The Gingko Trees

This row of yellow-leaved trees is made of gingko trees. This is a specialty in Korea every autumn. The golden leaves of the ginkgo trees brighten up the whole road.

Perhaps one of the places with the most beautiful rows of ginkgo trees is Nami Island. This place is so beautiful that it becomes a must-visit destination for every Korean in the fall.

Take Pictures Of Pink Muhly Grass At Sky Park

If you are in Seoul, don't miss out on Sky Park (하늘공원) in Mapo-gu. Here in the fall, there is a large field of pink muhly grass that everyone must see at least once. It is so beautiful as the field stretches endlessly, and the pink muhly grass can be taller than a person. I really recommend coming here in the fall!

We also have a blog post on the best spots to see pink muhly grass in Korea.

Go Hiking And See The Fall Foliage

This is definitely something you must do if you want to experience fall in Korea to the fullest. Red and orange leaves make every corner of Korea as beautiful as shown in the picture.

If you want to see the fall foliage in a more spectacular location, hike up a mountain to enjoy the view. In Korea, there are many famous mountains with beautiful scenery for you to visit such as:

Naejangsan: 936 Naejangsan-ro, Naejang-dong, Jeongeup-si, Jeollabuk-do

Seoraksan: 833, Seoraksan-ro, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do

Odaesan: 2, Odaesan-ro, Nae-myeon, Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon-do
