When should I visit Korea for autumn leaves?

Korea's foliage usually starts in the northern mountains in mid-October, reaches Seoul in late October to early November, and ends in the south by mid-November.

Seoraksan (Gangwon): the earliest colours, usually best around 15–25 October; take the cable car up to Gwongeumseong.
Nami Island: golden ginkgo and red maple avenues, around late October to early November; a day trip from Seoul.
Naejangsan (Jeolla): often called Korea's most beautiful, usually best late October to early November; very crowded at weekends.
Hwadam Forest (Gwangju, Gyeonggi): streams and wooden walkways among maples; timed tickets must be booked in advance.
Gyeongju: Bulguksa Temple and Bomun Lake, usually best in early November.

Note: peak dates shift by a few days each year; check the Korean foliage forecast or Korea tourism sites before booking.
