Apsan Park Daegu, Naejiangsan Jeongeup, Seoul Forest and Haneul Park. Places that I am looking forward to visit during Autum in South Korea. The best  time to view autumn leaves in Korea is November.  I took the advantage to enjoy the autumn leaves when I visited this place from 1st to 12th November for12 days.

When we arrive Sapporo, we stayed in Richmond Sapporo Hotel. Unlike JR Inn, this hotel is not located direc
