Photo credit: Korea Meteorological Administration The Korea Meteorological Administration has forecasted that the color of leaves will begin to change 1 to 2 days earlier than the average date (data collected from 1981 to 2014).  It has been also predicted that the colors will be more distinctive and fierce this year. The first place to see the magnificent fall colors will be in the northeast, at Seoraksan National Park (NaeSeorak) around September 25, followed by the central region around October 14, and then Jirisan National Park (Sancheong) in the south central region October 7 to 19. The fall foliage will reach its peak when the yellow and red colors of the trees cover 80% of the mountain, which will be no later or sooner than the average. Normally, peak colors appear two weeks after the first fall foliage is observed. The best of the fall foliage is expected to occur in Odaesan National Park and Seoraksan National Park (NaeSeorak) on October 17-18. Also, Songnisan National Park (Chungcheongbuk-do) and Jungbu (central) Region will see their mountains flourish with color on October 28 while the colors of leaves in Jirisan Mountain and other mountains in the Nambu (southern region) will reach their golden time October 20 to November 11.  The starting dates as well as the dates of the full foliage can be also found at the official website of the Korea Meteorological Administration. ▲ 2015 Autumn Foliage Forecast at Major Mountains in Korea 2015 Autumn Foliage Forecast at Major Mountains in Korea Mountain Mountain Peak Seoraksan National Park (NaeSeorak) September 25 October 18 Odaesan National Park September 29 October 17 Chiaksan National Park October 6 October 21 Jirisan National Park (Jirisan Mountain Nogodan Peak) October 7 October 20 Gayasan National Park (Baegundong Area) October 12 October 29 Woraksan National Park October 11 October 24 Bukhansan National Park (Dobong) October 12 October 27 Gyeryongsan National Park October 14 October 26 Hallasan National Park October 14 October 28 Songnisan National Park (Chungcheongbuk-do) October 14 October 28 Naejangsan National Park October 17 November 06 Palgongsan Natural Park (Gatbawi District) October 17 October 28 Mudeungsan National Park October 20 November 04 Duryunsan Provincial Park October 29 November 11 * Dates are subject to change depending on the weather conditions.
