Itinerary : Seoul Autumn Foliage (November 2015)

Assalamualaikum & Salam Aidilfitri.


Sihat semuanya? Jangan parah terlebih bedal lemang dan rendang ye. Kekalkan momentum Ramadhan supaya fizikal kekal sihat dan cergas. Selamat hari raya aidilfitri Kancil ucapkan kepada semua pembaca setia lagi budiman sekalian.

Sedikit masa dulu saya ada tulis satu artikel pasal musim luruh di Seoul bertajuk "Memburu Daunan Luruh : A Guide to Seoul's Autumn Foliage". Nama pun "Guide" jadi artikel tu sepenuhnya mengupas tentang tempat-tempat menarik di sekitar kotaraya Seoul untuk menikmati keindahan daunan luruh. Klik >> SINI (LURUH) kalau belum baca.

Kali ni saya nak kongsikan itinerary penuh 4D3N di bumi Seoul, sebahagian besarnya telah pun diceritakan didalam artikel yang dinyatakan diatas.

Saya bertolak solo dulu pada 5 Nov 2015 sebelum Shafik join keesokkan harinya. Kami menggunakan Seoul Subway sepenuhnya selama disana. Walaupun ringkas, diharapkan itinerary ini sedikit sebanyak dapat membantu anda merancang percutian musim luruh anda. Ingat, waktu puncak musim luruh sangat singkat (lebih kurang 2 minggu je). Datang terlalu awal dan daun masih hijau. Sampai lewat daun dah kering berguguran.

Enjoice!!
