Seoul is set to host a month-long autumn festival on Mount Nam from November 1st to 30th, according to the Seoul Metropolitan Government. The festival will feature guided walks, family-friendly crafts, a photo exhibition, and a traditional archery contest. Mount Nam, a small mountain situated in the heart of Seoul, is renowned for its stunning fall foliage. The Namsan Trail, a looped walking path around the mountain, will serve as the primary route for festival activities.
Most of the festival's programs will take place on November 7th and 8th. Visitors can participate in nature and history tours that begin at Palgakjeong Pavilion and follow the Namsan Sky Forest Trail. Additionally, there will be autumn tours of the Korean Forest Garden, a recently established garden on the mountain's slopes. Family-oriented activities include bird-watching, a seed-hunting walk, and wildflower basket making.
Adults can choose from a variety of workshops, such as knitting, weaving, and wreath-making. Children can engage in traditional Korean games at Hohyeondang, a pavilion dedicated to etiquette education.
Art enthusiasts can have their portraits taken by park photographers. On November 14th, a traditional archery event will be held at Seokhojeong, a traditional archery range on Mount Nam.
