🌸 Cherry Blossom Trip, Korea 🇰🇷

Wondering where to visit during Cherry Blossom 🌸 season in Korea? Here’s my brief itinerary and sharing, hope it’s useful for everyone 🫶 On Day 1, we kick started our day at Yeouido Hangang Park, where cherry blossoms line the Han River, creating a stunning backdrop for a leisurely stroll or a picnic. We were there during the weekend to prevent crowds! 🤣 * Based on experience* As we were not able to get any good photos during the weekend during our last trip here! ( Weekday + Early Morning 💯) We then headed to Tosokchon Samgyetang for their famous ginseng chicken soup. This restaurant is housed in a traditional Korean building and is renowned for its nourishing and flavorful samgyetang. It was so good especially during cold weather 🙌 Tosokchon Samgyetang 📍5 Jahamun-ro 5-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul) We also explored Gyeongbokgung Palace, the largest of the Five Grand Palaces built during the Joseon Dynasty. The palace grounds are adorned with cherry blossom trees, adding to its majestic beauty. On the next day, we hiked up to N Seoul Tower in Namsan Park for breathtaking views of Seoul blanketed in cherry blossoms. The tower offers panoramic vistas of the city, and during cherry blossom season, the surrounding area is awash in pink hues. Can you imagine how beautiful it is? 🌸🌸🌸 We then explored the bustling streets of Myeongdong and indulge in street food from various vendors. Myeongdong is famous for its vibrant atmosphere and diverse culinary offerings, making it the perfect spot for a quick and flavorful lunch. This place is a MUST, if you’re a big fan of local street food 🥘 On the third day, we explored the Seokchon Lake Park, where cherry blossoms frame the picturesque lake, creating a postcard-worthy scene. Take a leisurely stroll along the paths or rent a paddleboat to enjoy the scenery from the water. After exploring around we went to Gogung for out favorite bibimbap, a traditional Korean rice dish. This restaurant is renowned for its bibimbap, which is served in a hot stone bowl and topped with an array of fresh vegetables and savory sauces. 💯💯💯 Gogung 📍33-9 Myeongdong 10-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul). We also visited Lotte World Tower, one of Seoul's iconic landmarks, and ascend to the observation deck for panoramic views of the city adorned in cherry blossoms. The tower stands as a symbol of Seoul's modernity and offers unparalleled vistas of the surrounding landscape. On the last day in Seoul, we had our dinner at the Han River Cruise Terminal before embarking on a Han River cruise.
