In spring 2026, as the warm temperatures set in, the nation is preparing to be painted in shades of pink. With earlier blooming expected this year, checking the exact schedule is essential.

I was surprised to see that the nationwide blooming schedule is earlier than the midterm exam period for college students! Already???

3. Cherry Blossom Viewing Spots in Seoul and the Surrounding Area

Yeouido Park and Yunjungro in Seoul are iconic spots, with endless cherry blossom paths along the Han River. The Yeouido Spring Flower Festival will take place around April 5, coinciding with the expected full bloom date in Seoul, making it perfect for enjoying romance in the city.

Gongji Stream and Soyang Dam in Chuncheon will reach their peak around April 11, marking the last stop on the blooming path. Enjoy a relaxing spring outing near the famous driving course of Soyang Dam.

4. Visitor Guide for Cherry Blossom Viewing

First, public transportation is recommended. Especially for national attractions like the Jinhae Gunhangje or Yeouido, parking can be very challenging, so using the subway or shuttle buses is much more efficient.

Second, checking the blooming map is essential. The blooming dates may vary by 1-2 days due to temperature changes, so be sure to check real-time weather information before your visit.

Third, if you visit Jinhae during the music festival period from April 3 to 5, you can create unforgettable memories enjoying both the stunning music performances and cherry blossoms.
