Word is that fall foliage will reach its peak around the fourth week of October. For those of you who are looking forward to this, I’ve prepared a list of festivals across Gyeonggi Province celebrating the season this year.

We must include the Unaksan Mountain Maple Festival if we’re going to talk about fall foliage festivals in Gyeonggi Province. As one of the ‘Gyeonggi 5-aks (rough mountains)’, the fall foliage at Unaksan Mountain is so beautiful that the mountain is called the ‘Geumgangsan Mountain of Gyeonggi Province’. The Fall Foliage Festival, which takes place in October every year, gets under way this year on October 25.

Follow the trail that starts at the ruins of King Gungye, walk past Unjusa Temple and Rainbow Waterfall to reach the peak. Then come back down towards Daewonsa Temple to feel the beauty of Gyeonggi Province’s very own Geumgangsan Mountain.

The fall foliage on Paju’s Gamaksan Mountain offers some breathtaking views as another of the ‘Gyeonggi 5-aks’.

A farmers’ market selling fresh, environmentally friendly produce as well as local specialties harvested in Jeokseong-myeon, a ‘clean district’, are available during the festival at prices lower than retail, so you should be able to enjoy your time at this festival and satisfy all of your senses. 

Let’s Run Park in Gwacheon also brings you a night time autumn festival from October 14 to 18, the ‘2015 Falling In – Let’s Run Park Seoul’.

A wide range of performances including a brass band concert and swing jazz dance session in addition to a liberal arts concert will be ready to entertain your eyes and ears.

Time to nourish your heart with fall foliage…. Isn’t that the perfect festival in autumn?

I think it would be a convenient trip for people living near Seoul to make since the festival will take place close to Seoul.

So that’s it, three autumn fall foliage festivals in Gyeonggi Province! Have a beautiful autumn with the autumn leaves. ^^
