Gyeongbokgung shows a clear seasonal shift once the ginkgo trees near Hyangwonjeong turn gold and the maples along the outer walls reach deeper tones. As the main Joseon palace, its wide courtyards and aligned halls create long autumn sightlines, especially on the walk from Geunjeongjeon to Gyeonghoeru. Late October to early November offers the strongest contrast across the grounds. Comment “Fall” to get my Seoul foliage map. #Gyeongbokgung #AutumnKorea #SeoulInFall #KoreanPalaces #FallTravelSeoul
