Every spring, Korea’s Jinhae Gunhangje Festival brings a total sakura explosion that hits you right in the heart!
No wonder Lonely Planet named it one of Asia’s Top 3 cherry blossom spots — with 300,000 trees in full bloom, it's a magical dream you have to experience.
Here’s your nanny-level itinerary to get the most out of your day trip from Busan:
08:30 | Depart from Busan
🚌 Catch an early bus or book a one-day tour to Jinhae!
(Pro tip: seats sell out fast during the festival season, so plan ahead!)
10:00 | Gyeonghwa Station
🚂 This is THE iconic train track scene from Goblin — 800 meters of abandoned railway flanked by 30-year-old cherry trees!
✨ Snap pics in front of the vintage train — wear a school uniform or white dress for maximum main character vibes!
🍦 Don’t miss the pink cherry blossom ice cream sold at the platform. It’s as cute as it is delicious (and calories don’t count on vacation, right?)
12:30 | Yeojwacheon Stream (余佐川)
🌸 A breathtaking 1.5 km stream lined with cherry trees on both sides — the reflection in the water creates a double bloom effect that’s pure magic.
📸 Come during the day to catch the mirror-like reflections — and bring your wide-angle lens!
❤️ Known as the Wedding Road, couples walk across the Romance Bridge for a blessing of everlasting love.
💡 At night, the heart-shaped neon lights turn the whole place into a fairytale — perfect for proposals or dreamy date shots.
Bonus Tips:
• Festival time: usually late March to early April (depends on the year’s bloom forecast)
• Wear comfy shoes — there’s a lot of walking!
• Bring a power bank — you’ll take so many photos
• Avoid weekends if you can, weekdays are less crowded
This place is not just a cherry blossom spot — it’s a springtime fantasy straight out of a K-drama.
Don’t walk, run there before the petals fall!
