The Gangneung Gyeongpo Cherry Blossom Festival is a 대표 spring festival held every year from early to mid-April.

What makes this place unique is that you can enjoy both the sea and the lake at the same time, giving it a charm that sets it apart from other cherry blossom spots.

  Spring in Andong Spring in Andong is not the fast-paced kind you find in Seoul.

    Spring at Seokchon Lake When spring arrives, I always find myself drawn to Seokchon Lake at least once. At Seokchon Lake, the walking path stretches about 2.5 km, making it perfect for a slow, relaxed stroll. During cherry blossom season, the mix of flowers and soft lighting creates two completely different moods — one by day, and another by night. As you walk along the lake, it feels as if the pink blossoms gently settle on the water’s surface. With Lotte World Tower rising in the background, the familiar cityscape suddenly turns romantic. Seokchon Lake is considered one of Seoul’s 대표 벚꽃 명소, even hosting a spring flower festival each year timed perfectly with the cherry blossom bloom. What I love most is this: you don’t have to travel far to truly feel spring here. A lake you usually pass by without a second thought somehow slows your steps when the blossoms are in full bloom. In the daytime, it’s bright and lively, and after sunset, the lights bring out a completely diff...
