Seoul Cherry Blossoms

The whole of Seoul is a sea of pink, with several major cherry blossom viewing spots including Yeouido and Seokchon Lake offering breathtaking views that make it hard to leave. Walking under the fully bloomed cherry trees, the blossoms at first glance resemble tender popcorn flowers blooming in abundance. The stunning cherry blossom season typically lasts just a week each year, fleeting in its beauty. In Korea, cherry blossoms symbolize purity and peerless beauty. Recently, the season has also begun to enter the period of 'cherry blossom snowstorms', where being showered in cherry blossom rain is another kind of beauty.
