Yeouido Cherry Blossom Viewing

My spouse and I recently visited Yeouido to see the cherry blossoms. Yeouido is a hub for the financial industry in Korea and is also home to the National Assembly of South Korea. A tip for those planning to visit is to head towards the back of the National Assembly rather than going directly to the well-known cherry blossom spots. The reason is that, during the cherry blossom festival, vehicle access is restricted, allowing pedestrians to walk freely on the roads. This makes it much more comfortable to walk around as the crowd density is lower compared to more popular locations. Having heard that the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, we quickly got ready and set off for Yeouido. And that was the cherry blossom path we arrived at.

Cherry Blossom Viewing Tips

The Yeouido Cherry Blossom Festival is held from the end of March to the beginning of April, but the exact dates are announced in mid-March. As the blossoms do not last long, the festival typically lasts about a week. If you want to know the specific dates, I recommend using the link provided below to search. For example, searching for cherry blossoms will give you information about cherry blossom festivals happening all over Seoul, including the one in Yeouido, of course.
