Winter in South Korea usually begins from December to February. For Koreans, witnessing the first snowfall is one of the most important occasions of the year. Drawing from my experiences in Korea, I recommend some stunning snowfall spots that not only attract tourists but also captivate the locals.
South Korea in the Season of Falling Snow
Namsan Love Tower
Namsan Tower, also known as the Love Tower, is a renowned landmark in Seoul, South Korea. Located in the heart of the capital, it's a must-visit on your Korean journey. Inside the tower, thousands of love locks from couples create a romantic atmosphere. Adjacent to the tower is Namsan Park, where you can stroll through a picturesque snowfall scene and admire the tower shining brightly in the snow.

Mount Taebaeksan, a Mountain Carrying Ancient Tales
Mount Taebaeksan, a Winter Wonderland in South Korea
Nestled in Gangwon-do province, Mount Taebaeksan stands as one of the most beautiful mountains in South Korea during winter. Steeped in ancient Korean legends, the mountain dons a pristine white coat of cold snow in winter. It takes about 2 hours to trek up the mountain, experiencing the somewhat harsh climate. Additionally, Taebaeksan is an ideal spot for admiring falling snow and engaging in snowball fights with family and friends.
For me, wherever the snow falls is beautiful. Prepare warm clothes and good health for a delightful trip to South Korea to enjoy this enchanting snowy season. Don't forget to contact Mytour for amazing travel experiences.
