Autumn has fallen again this year on Naejangsan Mountain in Jeollabuk-do, which is famous for its autumn leaves.

In the aftermath of the late heat, we entered one after another along the traffic lights on the side of the mountain, even if they are not the peak.

It's autumn, but it's still autumn, if you see the yellow sunlight hitting the leaves and breaking them.

[Jung Sang-hyeop, Lee Hae-bin / Pyeongnae-dong, Namyangju-si, Gyeonggi-do: It's pretty because it has more autumn leaves than I thought, but I think it's good to come here. I went up by cable car and saw the view of Mt. Naejang. I feel good and refreshed]

This year, Naejangsan Mountain prepared a hidden road, Hidden Road, to share the influx of hikers.

In addition to exploring peaks such as Churyeong and Janggunbong Peak, trekking courses for beginners in hiking are receiving great attention.

It is a so-called 'Sancheon Yusu-gil' that walks through nearby parks and forests around the Naejang Reservoir Dulle-gil.

Sancheon Yusu-gil is a two-hour course, and it is not known much yet, so you can enjoy the charm of autumn leaves relatively leisurely.

This year, a new menu unique to Naejangsan Mountain has also been developed to catch those who are hungry for autumn leaves.

Eight local restaurants under the mountain sell "Mushroom Pork Knife" and "Spine Mushroom Kongtang," which only use agricultural and livestock products in Jeongeup.

Chef Lee Won-il, a restaurant consultant and Korean food expert, joined the menu development.

[Kim Hyun / Head of tourism department, Jeongeup, North Jeolla Province: In order to diversify food menus specialized in Naejangsan and revitalize commercial districts, we developed a new menu using Jeongeup agricultural products in cooperation with star chefs]

The transformation of this season, called 'Tardigrade Autumn Leaves' for those who visit the mountains at this time of year.

Despite this regret, the mountain seems to be crowded for a while with tourists who were hungry for autumn.
