Hidden Cherry Blossom Spots Near Cheonhoji and Anseo-dong University Area

Despite the heavy rain pouring down in the Cheonan area of Chungnam, cherry blossoms bloomed everywhere. With a weekend daytime high temperature of 20℃, we have gathered the region's representative cherry blossom spots perfect for family, couples, or friends to enjoy a cherry blossom outing.

The season of cherry blossoms would be incomplete without festivals

The most representative cherry blossom festival in Cheonan is undoubtedly the Bukmyeon Wirye Cherry Blossom Festival. Starting from Eunseok Elementary School, the cherry blossom cluster stretches about 15 km, making it perfect for a drive or a leisurely walk.

The festival runs from the 6th to the 7th. Starting with the opening ceremony, various experiential events such as face painting, retro costume experiences, rattan bookmark making, sotdae and fan making are prepared. To enjoy the cherry blossoms at night, floodlights have been installed along a 700m deck path near the festival site.

The hidden cherry blossom spot, Sangnok Resort, also holds a small festival on the 6th and 7th. Sangnok Resort features wide lawns alongside the cherry blossoms, where anyone can comfortably enjoy by setting up mats or tents. During the festival, the resort will hold various experiential events and activities such as recreation, a flea market, and workshop booths.

Enjoy cherry blossoms while strolling, and the nightscape makes the cherry blossom path even more beautiful at night

The Wonseongcheon Cherry Blossom Path has breathed new life into the fading old downtown. Due to the characteristics of the urban stream, it is the earliest to bloom in the Cheonan area and is already bustling with spring visitors. The old downtown area, which people were leaving, fills with people and cherry blossoms in spring, revitalizing the city. In particular, the city has carried out a nightscape project over a total 1.5 km section last year and this year, creating a cherry blossom path that is more beautiful at night than during the day.

Cheonhoji in Anseo-dong is also expected to reach peak cherry blossom bloom this weekend. Cheonhoji is currently Cheonan’s representative lake park, with cherry blossoms blooming along a 2.4 km walking trail. Thanks to last year’s ‘Cheonhoji Waterfront Landscape Improvement Project,’ visitors can enjoy a cleaner surrounding environment and relax while admiring the cherry blossoms at rest areas created along the trail.

Local universities are also hidden cherry blossom spots

Local universities are also opening their campuses wide to welcome spring visitors during the cherry blossom season. Dankook University, adjacent to Cheonhoji, has a cherry blossom path extending from the Cheonhoji walking trail to the campus. Especially, the path from Yulgok Memorial Library to the dormitories and the Industry-Academic Cooperation Building is a favorite spot not only for students but also for local residents.

Baekseok University and Sangmyung University also have full bloom cherry blossoms and have gained a reputation as hidden photo spots. Each university, together with the student council, holds various small festivals for enrolled students, and small-scale student performances continue, providing another attraction.
