Mt. Seorak is the end of the day and Mt. Halla is late...I'm thinking about the famous fall foliage spots.

It's the last Sunday of October, the clear autumn.

These days, it's the biggest fall foliage season.

Even if it is dyed later than usual or autumn leaves come, there are many places that have lost quickly, so each attraction has a lot of worries.

Shall we take a look at the scene? Reporter Ji Hwan!

How is the scenery of Mt. Seorak?

[Reporter]
Yes. It is 1,000 meters above sea level and is the limit of Seoraksan Mountain.

Originally, this is the peak of Mt. Seorak's autumn leaves.

Earlier, there was a typhoon-like strong wind on Seoraksan Mountain to the point of causing casualties at the beginning of the week.

As a result, I think we're a little late.

I was going to show you colorful autumn leaves, but as soon as the color of the mountainous area of Gangwon-do shrinks or falls, it seems that the fallen leaves are already the main characters.

Still, coming up here, the weather is clear and the mountains stretch out, making it cool.

What you see in the front is the Namseolak specialty, 'Chil Brothers Bong'.

Seven peaks stand side by side.

If you look below, the autumn leaves on the trail of Han Gye-ryeong have already withered a lot.

Seoraksan Mountain is the first place to have autumn leaves in Korea.

It has already snowed in Daecheong Peak and Jungcheongbong Peak at the top.

Overall, there was a lack of sunlight and a lot of wind.

With a professional shooting team, we filmed various places in Inner Seorak Maple Land, such as Kwon Geum-seong, Bongjeongam, and Juwongol.

Unlike previous years, the color is not clear and the leaves are drying quickly.

It is said that the autumn leaves, which started in the Seorak Daecheong here, go down south by 20-30km a day.

There is news that autumn leaves in the southern part of the country or Hallasan Mountain on Jeju Island have yet to be colored.

Autumn flowers are also being delayed compared to previous years.

The peak of autumn leaves in major famous mountains nationwide this year is also changing little by little as climate changes.

The autumn leaves of Seoraksan Mountain passed in an instant.

On the other hand, there are many places where autumn leaves have not been completely colored yet?

[Reporter]
Correct.

If it's not red foliage, I should show you a yellow ginkgo leaf properly.

Earlier in the week, our filming team went to the ginkgo tree forest in Hongcheon, and there were still many trees that were not colored.

Yellow-colored leaves can be seen here and there, but the green color has not yet disappeared.

The same goes for the natural monument ginkgo tree in Bangye-ri, Wonju.

It seems a little difficult to see it completely colored with gold within this month.

The cause of autumn leaves later than usual, which is the late heat that was rampant not long ago.

The leaf chlorophyll preparing for winter is destroyed and the leaves are stained only when the minimum temperature falls below 5℃,
The temperature higher than the
normal year is maintained late, and the autumn leaves are also delayed.

In addition, the cold wave is coming fast this year.

A lot of people say this about the long summer to the short fall and the long winter again.

Autumn leaves also gradually come late, and even if they come, they seem to pass in an instant, so I feel sorry.

Despite the chilly morning temperature, there are many hikers today because it is very clear.

Mountain accidents have occurred very often recently.

Accidents are much more frequent during the change of seasons when less prepared hikers increase.

These days, when you climb a mountain with a daily temperature difference of more than 10 degrees Celsius, you must bring a thick jacket or windshield.

If possible, more than two people, check the weather forecast in advance, and mountaineering suitable for physical strength and use of designated regular trails are the basic principles of safe hiking.

So far, I'm YTN Jihwan from Mt. Seorak's Lim Sangryeong.
