After the heat of summer, the cool air of fall brings a burst of color to the trees throughout Korea. This year’s first foliage will begin at Seoraksan Mountain on October 1, with peak foliage expected throughout the country from late October through early November. Bukansan Mountain will reach its peak October 30, Jirisan Mountain on October 27, Naejangsan Mountain on November 6, and Hallasan Mountain in Jeju on October 29. First foliage is considered when 20% of the trees have changed, while peak foliage is counted as 80% turned.
