Due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, full cancellation decided... Refrain from visiting Bulgwangcheon and wear a mask if visiting recommended

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) has decided to cancel the 2021 Bulgwangcheon Cherry Blossom Festival to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and ensure the safety of residents and visitors who come to enjoy the Bulgwangcheon Cherry Blossom Path amid the prolonged spread of the pandemic.

Due to the prolonged COVID-19 situation, it has become difficult to hold festivals and events with large gatherings, leading to the decision for a full cancellation.

However, regardless of the cancellation of the 2021 Bulgwangcheon Cherry Blossom Festival, it is expected that many residents and visitors will still visit Bulgwangcheon to enjoy the cherry blossoms.

Accordingly, Eunpyeong-gu asks that people refrain from visiting Bulgwangcheon as much as possible, and if a visit is unavoidable, it is recommended to wear masks and maintain safe distancing.

In addition, disinfection and sanitation efforts will be strengthened around the shops, restaurants, sidewalks, and other areas along the Bulgwangcheon Cherry Blossom Path, and cooperation will be requested from businesses to enhance their own disinfection measures.

Kim Mi-kyung, Mayor of Eunpyeong-gu, stated, “To end COVID-19, we ask that you refrain from visiting Bulgwangcheon as much as possible despite the inconvenience, and if you must visit, please wear a mask and maintain safe distancing. We hope everyone will join in preventing the spread of COVID-19 so that we can quickly return to our normal daily lives.”
