Cherry Blossom Spot KAIST "Please Do Not Visit This Year"

Cherry Blossom Scenery at KAIST

[Asia Economy Reporter Junho Hwang] The cherry blossom viewing at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in Daejeon will be completely restricted. To prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), from the 23rd until the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, visitor access to the main campus in Daejeon will be strictly controlled.

KAIST announced that it is participating in the government's 'COVID-19 social distancing' quarantine guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The school had opened its campus to welcome local residents and visitors, but due to the government's strong measures against COVID-19, it decided to restrict campus access this year.

KAIST is one of Daejeon's representative cherry blossom viewing spots. Every year, from late March to early April, visitors flock to the campus not only on weekdays during the day and night but also on weekends.

In addition, KAIST has been conducting online remote classes for undergraduate and graduate students since the 16th to prevent COVID-19 infections on campus. It is also implementing work-from-home, flexible working hours, and staggered commuting systems.

Meanwhile, besides KAIST, other cherry blossom spots are canceling related events or restricting visitor access. Changwon City in Gyeongnam, a representative cherry blossom spot, canceled the Gunhangje Festival and announced that access to the cherry blossom paths will be completely restricted.
