People stop in their tracks in front of fully bloomed cosmos flowers.

They stroll along the golden flower path and soak in the autumn atmosphere.

[Kim Dong-hyun, Lee Sang-jung, Kim Chae-yi / Songpa-gu, Seoul: The flowers happened to match our clothes well, so we stopped by as we walked past and are looking around now.]

Families are all smiles, busy taking pictures with their children against the backdrop of the flower beds.

[Park Jun-ho, Park Ji-hoo, Choi Jung-hwa / Songpa-gu, Seoul: It feels so much like autumn, which is great, and the sunlight isn't too harsh, so we're having a wonderful time. (Why did you pick the flower?) I'm going to give it as a gift to mom. Because I love mom.]

Hangang Park, illuminated by crisp autumn light, was also packed with visitors.

Children enjoy their time riding on their fathers' shoulders and flying kites.

They share picnic food and enjoy a leisurely time in the city center.

[Lee Yong-hyun, Park Na-yeon: It's mala xiangguo. And beer, and just regular fried chicken. If it gets any colder than this, it might be a bit much, but right now it's not hot at all and just perfect.]

People dash vigorously along the riverside with Mount Seoraksan by their side.

About 6,000 participants run into the autumn scenery against the cool breeze.

Any traces of fatigue quickly vanish as participants crossing the finish line high-five each other and share the joy of completion.

[Go Seung-hyun, Go Na-yoon / Race Participants: The scenery was so nice and the weather was great, so it didn't feel that exhausting. The views were just too good.]

With the cool breeze and full-fledged autumn weather, citizens spent their holiday enjoying leisure in their own ways.
