Hwaaksan Mountain is covered in a world of light pink azaleas. It seems that you will be able to see the fully bloomed light pink azaleas of Hwaaksan Mountain until this weekend.

You can find azaleas in various places near the summit, but the largest cluster is near the Drama Heo Jun set, which can be reached by going down slightly from the summit towards Okcheon Gwanryongsa.

The Changnyeong Nakdong River Canola Flower Festival has ended, but you can still visit Namji Sports Park to fully enjoy the yellow canola flowers and spring blossoms.
