From Cherry Blossoms to Jindallae and Gaenari...

With the arrival of spring, unique events are being held across the region to captivate spring visitors. Instead of simply taking 'proof shots' of spring flowers, why not try light walking exercises to invigorate your physical activity that has been subdued during the winter? You can enjoy the spring atmosphere and gain energetic vitality.

The Yeouido Cherry Blossom Festival is a must-visit when it comes to 'spring flower festivals.' Celebrating its 18th edition, this year's festival, themed 'Spring Flower Picnic,' will be held from the 29th of this month to the 2nd of next month. The entire venue will be decorated as a picnic zone with a cam-picnic (camping + picnic) concept, allowing visitors to leisurely enjoy spring in the city. Starting with a 'Flower Road Walk' parade with about 500 residents on the first day, the festival will feature daily afternoon music performances on the 'Spring Flower Stage' and 'Street Performances' that add vibrancy to the cherry blossom path. For visitors' safety, vehicle traffic will be completely restricted from noon on the 28th until 10 p.m. on April 4th on Yeouiseo-ro (1.7 km) behind the National Assembly, and the section from the public parking lot at the southern end of Seogang Bridge to Yeoui Haryu IC.


There is also a 'Health Walking Contest' that anyone can join by paying a participation fee of 2,000 won on-site without prior registration. Yeongju City in Gyeongbuk will hold the '2024 Yeongju Citizens Health Walking Contest' on the 23rd at the Seocheon riverside filled with spring flowers to promote community harmony and physical and mental health. Organized by the Yeongju Sports Council, the walking course starts at 8:30 a.m. from the inline skating rink under Yeongju Bridge, passes the 1st Gahung Bridge and 2nd Gahung Bridge, and returns at Hanjeong Bridge, covering a 7 km route. Participants can register on-site without prior application. T-shirts, raffle tickets, and snacks (bread and bottled water) will be provided to participants.



Additionally, the Yeongchwisan Mountain in Yeosu will hold the 'Azalea Festival' for two days starting on the 23rd, and the famous for forsythia flowers, Yudalsan Mountain in Mokpo, will host a spring festival for two days on the 30th and 31st. Events such as the 'Flower Road Stamp Tour' are planned, so it would be great to enjoy the spring atmosphere while walking and taking care of your health.
