Autumn leaves, and the weeks everyone goes to look at them. In Seoul that is late October to mid November.

단풍 is autumn foliage and the habit of going to see it. In Seoul the colour arrives late: the mountains turn in October, the palaces and parks in the first half of November.
The free weeks are timed to the festival, and the festival is timed to the leaves. Gyeongbokgung’s ginkgos by the eastern wall and the maples around Hyangwonjeong pond are the pictures everyone takes; a video from the grounds on 2 November shows them turning, with the hanbok crowd already there.
Closing days do not change. Gyeongbokgung and Jongmyo close on Tuesdays, which this month means 3 and 10 November. Changdeokgung, Changgyeonggung, Deoksugung and the tombs close on Mondays, 2 and 9 November.
