10 Best Places to See Cherry Blossoms in South Korea


As the spring wind blows, the pinkish white petals magically scatter and slowly spread out on the ground; these are cherry blossoms (벗꽃), the delicate and ephemeral flowers that many people chase for. When the cherry blossom season arrives, it also marks the end of winter as the temperature become mild and pleasant, and the people start to go outdoors and the streets become lively again. Cherry blossom viewing certainly has become one of the top activities in Korea during the spring season.

Hwagae Cherry Blossom Festival 2016, South Korea


We were standing under the cherry blossom trees and looking at a signboard that written 한국의 아름다운 길 (Scenic Road of Korea). At that point of time, we realized that we were already walking along the 10ri Cherry Blossom Road also known as the Wedding Road. People believe that "if a couple walking down this road together hand in hand, they live happily together forever".

In spring, many visitors come all the way to Hwagae to enjoy a walk down the stunning Cherry Blossom Road, which is one of the main attractions of the Hwagae Cherry Blossom Festival. This scenic road with an endless view of cherry blossom stretch over 6 km from Hwagae Market to Ssanggyesa Temple.
