Exploring the Spring Flowers of Korea

On March 19, we travelled to explore Gwangyang Maehwa Festival and Gurye Sansuyu Festival. It was our first time to try a one-day tour package through a domestic travel agency. Though we did not have enough time to see many flowers due to the heavy traffic last weekend, we could enjoy the festival comfortably at a very reasonable price.

 

 We took train from Sindorim station in Seoul at 6:00 AM and reached Gwangyang located in Jeollanam-do province around 12:00 PM. We had only two hours to look around Gwangyang Maehwa (plum) Festival, but we decided to have fun while seeing many flowers. We strongly recommend that you should taste plum ice-cream and plum tea if you visit maehwa (plum) Village: the specialty of this place.

 

                                      

 We experienced the wonderful scenery with a bird's eye view from the observatory. The flowers in full bloom as if whole world turned white.

 

   

  
We finished the Gwangyang tour and travelled for about 50 minutes by bus and reached Gurye Sansuyu Festival. The festival was held under the theme of "eternal love and thereafter“, and we could embrace the marvelous beauty of yellow sansuyu flowers.

 

    

 One of the best parts of this travel was meeting a friend from the Philippines who came to see this festival on the recommendation of her friend. “It has been a difficult journey to climb up to the observatory but it was worth doing because I could take many pictures and have a new experience", she said with a glowing smile.

 This kind of Tour packages of spring festivals are available on social commerce websites and the information furnished below can be used if you are interested.
