This year Chuseok comes early on September 25, 2007, one of Korea’s major holidays. According to the solar calendar, the official Chuseok holiday is from September 24 to 26. However, because this year’s Chuseok is right after the weekend, the holidays will be from September 22 to 26 for 5 days. Chuseok offers a great opportunity for foreign visitors to tour Korea’s cities and enjoy Korea’s culture without the usual bustle. But first, let’s begin by understanding what Chuseok is.
Chuseok (Hangawi)
As one of the three major holidays, which include Seollal and Dano, Chuseok is also known as “Hangawi,” which means the very middle of August, or August 15 according to the lunar calendar. As an agrarian society throughout history, Hangawi was the day in which Koreans thanked the ancestors for the year’s harvest and shared their abundance with family and friends.
