Goseong-gun, "Come Visit Solseom to See the Azaleas"

In March, when spring flowers are in full bloom, azaleas have blossomed brightly on Solseom Island in Hail-myeon, Goseong-gun, Gyeongnam, which embraces both mountains and the sea.

Solsom, Goseong-gun, Gyeongnam.

Solseom Island, named for its abundance of pine trees, is located in Songcheon-ri 198 area, Hail-myeon, Goseong-gun.

At this time of year, when spring is in full swing, the light pink azaleas that fill the island capture the footsteps of visitors more than the pine trees.

Walking along the trail built along the island’s coastline, where you can closely feel the scent and color of the flowers, you can fully appreciate the charm of the azaleas.

Solseom is a small island that takes less than an hour to walk around. From March to April, azaleas and canola flowers bloom; from May to June, white Ippop trees blossom; from July to October, hibiscus flowers are in full bloom; and from September to November, Korean asters bloom, earning it the nickname “a quaint flower island.”

Also, the view of the small rocky island “Jangyeo” seen from Solseom amazes all who see it.

If you time your visit with low tide, you can walk along the sea path to Jangyeo Island, so it is recommended to check the timing in advance before visiting.

With a free parking lot nearby, Solseom in Hail-myeon is perfect for a light walking course, and it is recommended to enjoy the spring flower viewing there this year.

Kim Young-ok, head of Hail-myeon, said, “I hope tourists visiting Solseom in spring gain energy to overcome their tired daily lives,” and added, “The administration will do its best to create a pleasant environment for those visiting Hail-myeon and Solseom.”
