Here are some reasons why
Chuseok is the best of times for visitors to the ROK:
1. Ample photo opportunities as many children and ladies are dressed up in beautiful jewel tones of the hanbok.
2. If you hate city crowds, this is your chance to cruise along on public buses and you don’t have to jostle for space in the trains. The capital almost becomes a ghost-town as most Seoulites have gone back to their ancestral homes.
3. The museums and other tourist attractions usually have special concerts and activities that feature traditional games and food during the long weekend. Still clueless about where to go and what to do? Click

4. It’s a great time to see Korean families in a relaxed frame of mind enjoying things together outdoors.
5. The TV stations usually broadcast special programs so you’re more likely to see your favourite Hallyu star in some game show or concert. Click
