Naejangsan Autumn Leaves
내장산 · Jeongeup, Jeollabuk-do
Naejangsan National Park is the first place Koreans think of for autumn colors. The road to Naejangsa temple runs under a tunnel of red maples, and the ridges around it blaze red and orange in early November.
Say it in Korean단풍 danpung · autumn leaves
Local tipPeak color is usually in early November, and weekends are very crowded, so come early on a weekday. The shuttle and cable car save the climb.
