There is an autumn in Seoul that makes many people miss it.

Seoul is a bustling city with the main landscape being high-rise buildings mixed with apartments - typical of modern Asian cities like Hong Kong or Singapore. However, thanks to autumn, Seoul, Korea, is breathtakingly beautiful with the yellow of ginkgo trees and the red of maple leaves covering every road and path. That unique feature makes many people who have set foot on this road miss it, especially when the autumn wind has begun to blow on the bustling, crowded streets.

This year, due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, international tourism activities have almost "frozen". Many people who want to enjoy the colors of autumn have had to postpone their plans to stop, finding another way to dispel the nostalgia for trips and autumn, which is to reminisce about the brilliant autumn scenery through pictures. Thai travel blogger Nonfinite reminisced about autumn in Seoul this way. The pictures he posted received thousands of likes, shares and especially sympathetic comments from Thai and international netizens, including Vietnamese.

It is known that Nonfinite's Seoul autumn photo series was taken many years ago. Now that he cannot go to Korea due to the epidemic situation, he can only reminisce about this place through photos and send a promise to Seoul as soon as the epidemic is over.

True to its nostalgic nature, the somber tones in the photos posted by Nonfinite may contrast with the vibrant colors of autumn, but they resonate in the hearts of many people because of the scenery mixed with the melancholy of the first cold wind of the season. The charming quality of Seoul is still expressed through each photo, so that those who have set foot on the street corners, the roads filled with fallen yellow leaves, the artistic cafes,... are filled with a deep nostalgia for a heartbreakingly beautiful autumn in Seoul.
