IoT Systems Installed at Three Locations Including Hwagae Market
Real-Time Bloom Updates Available on Mobile Devices

Starting March 10, visitors to the Hadong County website can check the real-time cherry blossom blooming status in the Hwagae-myeon area.

Hadong County announced that from March 10 to April 6, it will operate a real-time monitoring service to share the peak cherry blossom blooms with local residents and tourists.

Every year, during the cherry blossom season from March to April, there have been numerous inquiries from across the country about the blooming dates along the Hadong Ten-ri Cherry Blossom Road. However, it was difficult to know the exact blooming status without visiting the site in person.

Hadong County Establishes Cherry Blossom Blooming Service System

To address this, since 2018 the county has introduced a real-time blooming service, which not only alleviates inconvenience for tourists but also provides a more vivid experience of the cherry blossoms.

For the cherry blossom blooming service, systems utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) technology have been set up at three locations, including the Hwagae Market and the Ten-ri Cherry Blossom Road. This allows visitors to check the blooming status in real time not only on computers but also on mobile devices, significantly enhancing convenience for tourists.

The real-time cherry blossom blooming service can be accessed from the main screen of the county office's website, providing not only updates on the blooming status but also information on the locations of parking lots and restrooms in the Hwagae-myeon area.

In particular, during the period when the cherry blossoms are beginning to bloom, visitors can view close-up images to check the flowers, and a customized long-distance service is also offered, taking into account the timing of the blossoms.

A county official expressed hope, saying, "Through the cherry blossom blooming service, which allows people to view Hadong’s cherry blossoms from anywhere, we hope to widely promote the beauty of Hadong and attract even more tourists to the region."
