About Korea

Korea

The KOREAN Peninsula is located in North-EAST Asia.
It is bordered by the Amnok River to the northwest, separating
Korea from China, and the Duman River to the northeast
which separates Korea from both China and Russia..
Korea is surrounded by hundreds of beautiful islands, Jejudo,
Ulleungdo and Dokdo being the most notable .

Climate in October

The ideal time to visit Korea is during the autumn months (September-November). During this time, the country experiences warm, sunny weather, skies that are cobalt blue and spectacular foliage that is perhaps its biggest draw.
