Throughout October and November, you can feast your eyes on lush mountains dyed with scarlet-tinged leaves in breathtaking destinations in South Korea. These sights all offer spectacular foliage scenes and worthwhile hiking experiences. So get up, grab your camera and prepare to immerse yourself in the beauty of Autumn!
