Location
Yeouido Park and Yeouiseo-ro area
Introduction
Spring flowers such as azaleas, forsythias, and royal azaleas are all in full bloom during mid-April at Yeouiseo-ro (Yunjung-ro), but the festival is best known for the hundreds of king cherry trees that line Yeouido’s roads.
During the festival period, the road encircling the Yeouido National Assembly building is closed to traffic, so visitors can walk peacefully through the tunnel of cherry blossom trees looking out through the blossoms to the waters of the Hangang river.
After sunset, colored lights illuminate the cherry blossom trees and create a romantic nighttime view.
In addition, there are various street performances and art exhibitions
