Jeollanam-do announced on the 31st that it recommends Yeosu Hwahwado, Wando Cheongsando, Jindo Gwanmaedo, and Sinan Imjado as travel destinations to fully enjoy spring flowers with the scenic Dadohae in full bloom this April.

Yeosu Hwahwado is called the "Flower Island" because the entire island becomes covered in flowers during spring. The breathtaking scenery of sea cliffs, azaleas, canola flowers, and wildflowers in full bloom creates a spectacular view. Walking along the coastal trail (Flower Island Trail) that circles the island, visitors can enjoy the flowers, the sea, and the beautiful views of Hallyeohaesang.

Yeosu is also famous for its delicious raw flounder. Flounder soup with mugwort, made with mugwort grown in the sea breeze, is a must-try seasonal delicacy in spring.

Wando Cheongsando was designated as Asia's first Slow City. In spring, the canola flowers around the Guduljang rice paddies create a picturesque landscape. From the 5th of next month to May 4th, the "2025 Cheongsando Slow Walking Festival" will also be held.

Additionally, it has become a popular spot for social media photos among travelers after being featured as a filming location for the recent hit drama "Jeongnyeoni." Visitors can fully enjoy their spring trip by tasting fresh fish dishes such as wild sea bream and rockfish caught in the Wando sea.

Jindo Gwanmaedo is designated as part of the Dadohaehaesang National Park and is an island known for its beautiful sea cliffs and sea caves. The canola flower fields, created on wide fallow farmland, are filled with spring visitors every year. From the 11th to the 13th, the "Bobaeseom Canola Flower Festival" will be held.

Sinan Imjado is the largest island in Sinan. At Daegwang Beach, a vast 12km white sand beach and pine forest serve as the backdrop for a tulip garden with over three million blooms, making it a popular photo spot for visitors of all ages every year.

From the 11th to the 20th, the "2025 Island Tulip Festival" will take place. The expansive, colorful tulip fields create an atmosphere reminiscent of a European garden. In addition, visitors can enjoy especially delicious spring dishes such as rockfish sashimi, barley mullet sashimi, and skate sashimi at nearby restaurants.

Shim Woojeong, head of the Jeollanam-do Tourism Division, said, "The beauty of Jeollanam-do's islands is doubled when the season of blooming flowers arrives," and added, "If you want to enjoy the wide-open scenery of the Dadohae and fully blossomed spring flowers, I highly recommend visiting Yeosu Hwahwado, Wando Cheongsando, Jindo Gwanmaedo, and Sinan Imjado."
