Cherry Blossom Viewing Online... Live Broadcast of Cherry Blossoms at Seokchon Lake, Songpa-gu
Measures to Close Seokchon Lake for COVID-19 Prevention... Cherry Blossom Broadcast on YouTube Until April 12
[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Songpa-gu (Mayor Park Seong-su) will live stream the cherry blossoms at their peak at Seokchon Lake online until April 12.
The district fully canceled the 'Seokchon Lake Cherry Blossom Festival,' originally scheduled for early April, on March 17 to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Furthermore, to actively implement 'high-intensity social distancing,' all entrances and exits to Seokchon Lake have been completely closed from March 28 to April 12.
However, considering that millions of visitors come every year to see the scenic beauty of Seokchon Lake, one of Seoul's representative cherry blossom spots, they have prepared an online 'Bang-guseok Cherry Blossom Broadcast' (Home Cherry Blossom Broadcast).
The 'Bang-guseok Cherry Blossom Broadcast' will be held once daily for a total of 9 days until April 12, when Seokchon Lake closes. The program consists of two parts: 'Cherry Blossom Walk' and 'Cherry Blossom LIVE.'
'Cherry Blossom Walk' is a video about one minute long, with recorded footsteps sounds, giving viewers the feeling of walking around Seokchon Lake and viewing the cherry blossoms in person.
The videos will be uploaded at 10 a.m. on March 29 and 30, April 4 and 6, and April 12.
Through 'Cherry Blossom LIVE,' various views of Seokchon Lake in full bloom will be introduced. On April 1 and 8 at noon, a reporter will vividly present the cherry blossom scenery at Seokchon Lake for about 15 minutes, and on April 3 and 10 at noon, viewers can enjoy the cherry blossoms from various angles for about an hour through cameras installed around Seokchon Lake.
The 'Bang-guseok Cherry Blossom Broadcast' can be watched via Songpa-gu Office Facebook, Songpa TV YouTube channel, and the official website, and is also available through IPTV at Songpa-gu Office and each neighborhood community center.
