The scenery of Changtai Mountain on November 17th was very beautiful. The metasequoia trees had turned red and the red leaves all over the mountains and fields were stunning. It's a pity that the traffic jam happened during the holiday and squeezed out the time for fun. Next time I will choose a one-day trip.

This is a very enjoyable trip. The bus ride was long but very comfortable. we had a medium bus for 11 of us. we spent about two hours at the hanok village and almost three hours at Jangtaesan. At Jeongju you can visit the Royal Portrait Museum where you can view the portrait of Taejo, the founder of the Joseon Dynasty. Jangtaesan’s autumn foliage is simply stunning and we were very fortunate to catch it at the right time. Also compliments to our guide Leah who was very attentive and took good care of us.

We set off on time. The trip was quite busy and the ride took a long time. The round trip took about 8 hours. Jeonju Hanok Village feels average. Jangtaesan Mountain is worth visiting and the scenery is beautiful.

The tour guide is very nice and has a stable temperament. If someone was late in the morning, he immediately changed the itinerary flexibly, so that everyone had enough time to eat in Jeonju Hanok Village and take photos of Hanbok.
