#cherryblossom25
Yeouido Park — one of Seoul’s most iconic and beloved cherry blossom destinations!

Yeouido Cherry Blossom Season Overview:
•Location: Yeouido Island, Seoul
•Best Blooming Period: Usually early to mid-April — around April 5th to April 12th is the typical full bloom window.
•The park and its nearby road — Yeouiseo-ro (여의서로) — turn into a cherry blossom wonderland, attracting both locals and tourists.

Why It’s Famous:
•Cherry Blossom Festival: The annual Yeouido Cherry Blossom Festival (여의도 봄꽃축제) is held here, turning the entire area into a spring celebration with food stalls, performances, and night-time blossom lighting.
•Massive Blossoms: The street is lined with over 1,800 cherry trees, creating a pink and white canopy that stretches along the Han River.
•Day & Night Views: During the festival, the blossoms are lit up after dark, giving off a romantic, almost magical vibe.
•Perfect Views of Seoul’s Skyline: You get the double bonus of cherry blossoms plus the cityscape and Han River breeze.

Tips for Visiting:
•Arrive Early: During the festival, the area can get very crowded, especially on weekends. Early morning visits offer the best peace and photo opportunities.
•Night Blossom Walks: If you can, go once in the evening — the combination of cherry blossoms and city lights is stunning.
•Nearby Spots: Combine your visit with Yeouido Hangang Park or take a river cruise for a full spring date day.
