As summer cools down in South Korea, everything begins to slow and change color. From late September to mid-November, splashes of red, orange, and yellow sweep through the city streets, mountain sides, and parks, transforming everyday views into stunning scenes.

This autumn, as a new graduate student wandering the streets of Chuncheon, I am greeted by a city dressed in its seasonal best. Golden ginkgo leaves and bright red maples line the paths, turning simple walks to class into picturesque journeys. The crunch of leaves under my feet accompanies each step, creating a tranquil soundtrack to my daily routine. These peaceful walks remind me of how beautifully the natural world meshes with urban life.

Autumn in South Korea teaches us to cherish the moment. It’s a time when nature puts on a show, highlighting the small shifts that herald the coming of winter. This season, with its vibrant display and cooling temperatures, calls us to slow down and soak in the fleeting joys before winter’s chill sets in. Here in Chuncheon, autumn is not just a change of season; it’s an invitation to witness the world transforming, to find joy in change, and to savor the colorful spectacle that nature graciously offers.
