Bridge day check

Falls midweek on a Wednesday. It splits the week rather than extending the weekend, so bridging costs two days of leave either side.

What the day is for

The autumn harvest festival and the biggest family gathering of the year: ancestral rites, songpyeon rice cakes, and a mass return to hometowns over three days.

Do shops and banks close?

Most offices, banks and small businesses close for the full stretch; department stores shut on the main day.

Getting around

The heaviest travel period in Korea — expressways run at a crawl and KTX seats sell out weeks ahead.
