3. Highlights: A Meeting of Flowers and Art (Goyang Flower Exhibition Hall)
As you pass through the entrance adorned with vibrant tulips, you can experience the essence of global floral art.
This year, the international exhibition has become even more diverse, featuring flowers representing countries like Kenya and Colombia.
The domestic flowers were also beautifully displayed, showcasing our own floral heritage.
4. Outdoor Garden: A Time Travel Among Flowers
The main garden, "The Time Traveler's Garden," tells a story through nostalgic traditional houses, modern splendor, and future mysteries, leaving visitors in awe.
5. Tips for Enjoying Your Visit!
Having explored the site, I found that the weather can get quite warm during the day, so it's easy to tire out quickly.
While there are food markets and convenience stores available, bringing your own refreshing drinks and snacks will allow you to relax comfortably under the shade of trees.
Re-entry is possible with a wrist stamp, so keep that in mind.
In conclusion, true to its international scale, the festival showcases everything from magnificent artworks to humble wildflowers, making every bloom a star.
Not only for Goyang citizens but for everyone nationwide, I hope you come and color your precious time with flowers.
