A cherry blossom is a flower of many trees of genus Prunus or Prunus subg. Cerasus. They are known as Japanese cherry and sakura. They are also a common species in East Asia, like China, Korea, and especially in Japan.
Most of the cherry trees in Korea are believed to be a slightly different species of tree than those in Japan. The Korean cherry tree, known as the 'king cherry' originated from Jeju Island, which is also the first place that the cherry blossom occurred in due to its slightly warmer climate.
The blossoming starts on Jeju Island in late March, but although some die-hard cherry blossom pilgrims might make the trip to Jeju to see the first blossoms of the year, it might be better to save your trip to Jeju for another time and experience one of the many cherry blossom festivals on the mainland instead.
The most well-known cherry blossom festival in Seoul is the Yeouido Cherry Blossom festival. It is also known as the Yeongdeungpo Yeouido Spring Flower Festival. Thanks to the opening of the subway line 9 extension, this festival is more accessible than ever, so you don’t have to worry about beating traffic while driving and finding parking once you arrive.During the cherry blossom festival, you can see about 1,400 cherry trees in full bloom. There are street performances, food vendors, and many different entertaining exhibits, so this festival is perfect if you want to check out some lovely cherry blossoms but you also want to fill your day with other activities.
