Anticipating an earlier Spring because of global warming, I booked our trip for the last week of March. As we got closer to our departure date though, it became clear to me that we were two weeks too early. True enough, there were little more than red bulbs on the trees when we were there. But luckily for us, there was also Jinhae. About a four-and-a-half hour bus ride south of Seoul, Jinhae is a sleepy naval town that’s home to the biggest cherry blossom festival in South Korea. It’s warmer there so their festival starts earlier, around the first week of April. This year, it was from March 24-30. We weren’t going back to Busan until the 28st of March, so we thought what better way to spend our last full day in South Korea, than to be surrounded by a sea of pink and white in Jinhae? #MyTripVlog #spring #korea #jinhae

#CherryBlossoms This time, I went to Jinhae, the southernmost part of South Korea Unfortunately, the Gunhang Festival was canceled, but I was able to see the cherry blossoms to my heart's content You should definitely go see the cherry blossoms!!

I don't know if I'll be able to go see the cherry blossoms because of Corona... Jinhae is the best for cherry blossoms💕 I think the cherry blossoms blooming along the railroad tracks are really beautiful❤️ It was really nice to be able to eat delicious raw fish and clams. #HotPlace

#Flower Viewing Strategy When you go to Korea to see the cherry blossoms, you must visit Jinhae, which is about 1 hour or more from Busan, but more than 4 hours if you are from Seoul. Zhenhai is not a tourist area itself except for the cherry blossom viewing season, so there is a lack of hotels. If you go to Busan from the end of March to April, you can consider adding a cherry blossom viewing trip! #Resident Writer #Popular Exhibition

The cod, a seasonal fish, returns to the southern coast of Korea from late November to January of the following year during its winter spawning season! It returns to Gadeok Island in Busan to spawn, and the cod is so delicious that when you think of cod, you immediately think of Gadeok cod. It’s currently cod season, so I visited Yongwon Hoejip, which sells cod soup as a winter specialty. It’s a special menu item sold only in the winter, and the clear broth made from cod was exquisite! I always added dadegi seasoning to my food, but this place didn’t have dadegi seasoning. When I asked, they said it was better to drink the soup without dadegi seasoning than to eat it with dadegi seasoning! It was my first time trying clear broth, and it was so delicious and healthy with various side dishes~! There were many places to sit and eat inside, but it was so crowded that it was almost full even though I went early. How about going to Daegutang to take care of your body in winter? 📍Yongwon Hoejip ✔Yongwon Hoejip, 242-6 Yongwon-dong-ro, Jinhae-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do ✔️Private parking lot available #Changwon #ChangwonTravel #ChangwonRestaurant #ChangwonHoejip #JinhaeRestaurant #JinhaeHoejip #DaeguTangRestaurant #Winter #Healthfood #WinterHealthfood #WinterDelicacy #YearEndTravel #Restaurant #RestaurantRecommendation #YongwonHoejip #PleaseWinter #HotPlace #NewYear #ProfessionalEater #NextTimeHere

📍Cafe Moa in Jinhae, Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do 📷 October 2020 🥯 Located in Jinhae-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, Cafe Moa is famous for its healthy and delicious bread made from rice by the owner, making it a popular place for bread pilgrimage. In addition, it has a cozy and warm atmosphere, as if it were a mountain lodge in the forest. If you visit during the day, you can see the ocean in front of Jinhae, and if you visit at night, you can enjoy the night view. I drank jujube tea, strawberry latte, and lemon tea, and all the drinks were delicious, and the croissant made from rice had a rich flavor. And the dacquoise made from rice was very chewy and delicious. Also, the owner is such a warm and nice person, so it's a cafe I want to visit again! I brought a rice pumpkin cake to-go, and the natural sweetness and chewy chiffon were attractive. If you are looking for a place with delicious healthy rice bread, I recommend Jinhae Cafe Moa!!🥖👍 #ChangwonTravel #BreadPilgrimage #VeganFood #SmallCityTravel #Jinhae #JinhaeCafe #CafeMoa

#springitinerary If you're in South Korea in spring, you’ve gotta hit up Gyeonghwa Station in Jinhae. It’s straight-up dreamy. Picture this: old railway tracks lined with cherry blossom trees, petals falling like soft pink snow while the breeze rolls through. It seriously looks like something out of a K-drama. The best time to go is early April when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and everything turns cotton-candy pink. When a train rolls by, the petals swirl through the air, it’s magic. Total photo op. Bring your phone, bring your camera, bring your whole aesthetic. It can get a little busy, so go early if you want a quiet moment to soak it all in. Whether you're walking the tracks or just standing there with your jaw on the floor, Gyeonghwa Station is pure springtime bliss. One of those places that totally lives up to the hype.

It's great for kids to run around and play.

Even with the crowds, the atmosphere was calm and beautiful. Jinhae truly transforms into a fairytale during sakura season—a perfect escape for nature lovers and photographers alike.

If you have the luxury to travel out of Seoul during spring. Please visit here for the best and most beautiful cherry blossom. In The next two weeks time flower will be blooming. While Cherry blossoms absolutely cover the small city of Jinhae, there are three spots in particular that will leave you with your jaw on the ground. Feel free to wander the streets, but always try to be walking towards one of these spots. They are all quite a ways from each other, and taxis in this area are quite hard to come by, so be prepared for lots of walking if you plan on hitting all of them! There is also a 'Yeojwacheon Romance Bridge' nearby. I recommend you to visit together.There are tons of cafes, souvenir shops and street food lining this little trickle of a stream, and it is, without a doubt, the best place to see the cherry blossoms in Jinhae. You should definitely start your cherry blossom tour here, as it will eventually lead you to another amazing spot to see the cherry blossoms.
