Short trip to Seonunsan, Gochang, Jeollabuk-do for autumn foliage. Koreans call this type of trip as 단풍놀이 Dan-pong nol-i which means viewing and enjoying the beautiful scenery with colorful autumn leaves. Gochang is about 3 hours driving distance from Seoul. Seonun-san 선운산 is a popular destination for hiking with various trails, also well known for it's beautiful view of cemelia forest, plum blossom and cherry blossom in spring, fall foliage and fall flowers in autumn.
In fact the mountain park itself has a few natural monuments and cultural assets which housed inside the 1,500 years old Seonunsa Temple that built during Baekje Dynasty. The camelia forest which blossoms in spring is at the Seonunsa Temple. Yongmungol 용문골 which is a cave where Dae Jang Guem's mother was buried in the drama "Dae Jang Guem" also another popular destination to visit along the hike. Love the view of crimsons leaves, also blooming and colorful chrysanthemum flowers in fall~
