Recommendations from Korean friends for activities you must do during autumn holidays in South Korea

 

September to November is the best month to enjoy autumn in South Korea. South Korea does have beautiful places and every season has its own place to enjoy the beauty of the season. Leaves that begin to change color to red, yellow, and orange which are the hallmark of autumn are very easy to find in every corner in Korea. At the end of autumn, it will fall, creating a romantic atmosphere.

In this article, I had the opportunity to interview a friend who is a South Korean citizen, named (신지원/Shin Ji Won - @jiwons__ /Instagram) who lives in the city of Seoul, South Korea and works as a Researcher at VANK, Cyber ​​Diplomatic Delegation @vank_prkorea.

What do Koreans usually do in autumn?, When the weather is cool and the sky is clear, autumn is the season when the autumn leaves are beautifully colored. When I think back to the days when there was no Corona, Koreans used to go outside to see the autumn leaves in the fall or go hiking in the Korean mountains like Seoraksan. It's neither hot nor cold and the weather is nice, so lots of people go on picnics.

What's your favorite food in autumn? And why did you choose that food?, In autumn, Chuseok is a Korean holiday. I made various Korean dishes with my family and ate them, Songpyeon is a Chuseok specialty. In addition, every family makes kimchi in the fall. Korean kimchi culture by making kimchi during the previous year has also been registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Kimchi is a traditional Korean food that Koreans love, and kimchi has not left the Korean table. Kimchi is often made with various ingredients depending on the region, but it is said that there are more than 100 types of kimchi. Make sure to try kimchi when you come to Korea!

In your opinion, what are the must-visit places in autumn in Korea?, I think it would be better to go to the mountains covered with autumn leaves. People often travel to high mountains like Jirisan and Seoraksan. Namhansanseong Fortress in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do is also a beautiful place to see in autumn. Namhansanseong Fortress If you climb Namhansanseong Fortress, you can get a glimpse of Seoul and its surrounding cities. I also recommend visiting Haneul Park in Seoul or Jeju Island, where the silver grass is beautiful. A lively festival in autumn in Korea is the Maple Festival / Fireworks.

Please convey messages and recommend to Indonesian friends who want to go to Korea in autumn. There are four seasons in Korea, so they all have a different and beautiful feeling. Also go to Gyeongbokgung Palace and Changdeokgung Palace and take lots of photos while wearing traditional Korean clothes, Hanbok, and traditional Indonesian clothes, batik. I thought it was so pretty when I went in the fall.

Chuseok ( 추석 ) or "Chusok" which can be interpreted as full moon day is a national holiday in Korea for 3 days to commemorate the harvest season which falls on the 15th day of the 8th month of the 8 lunar / lunar calendar. If you pay attention, in those months usually our Idol or favorite celebrities will wear Hanbok and wish them a happy holiday. Chuseok is held to give thanks for the success of the abundant harvest so it is also called the day of the harvest month festival in Korea. Usually, on this holiday, all Koreans go back to their hometowns to gather with their families and also make pilgrimage to the graves of their ancestors, just not much different from going home in Indonesia. A little history about Chuseok, this holiday has existed since the days of the Silla kingdom (57 BC - 935). Chuseok was also known as Hangawi ("Han" = "highway", "Gawi" = "middle") or a holiday in the middle of autumn. Usually Hanga...

  Soon South Korea will enter spring. Usually spring starts from late March to early May. Because the temperature is not too cold but also not too hot, South Korean people usually like to eat foods that can maintain their health stamina, especially those that come from marine wealth. One of the specialties during spring is Jjukkumi. This dish is a dish made from small octopus. Jjukkumi is a favorite in spring, because during this season the octopus is at its fullest and the head tastes delicious due to the abundance of eggs. The egg shape is almost the same size and color as rice, but tastier. Although they both come from octopus, according to their type, Jukkumi is usually processed into 2 dishes, namely Jjukkumi Samgyeopsal Bokkeum and Jjukkumi Shabu-shabu. Jukkumi Samgyeopsal Bokkeum is made from two basic ingredients, namely jukkumi and samgyeopsal. Jukkumi or octopus ocellatus is a type of octopus that is small and has a softer texture than ordinary octopus. Samgyeopsal,...
