경화역 벚꽃길 — Attraction in Changwon-si

I visited Jinhae on 03/04/25 and the cherry blossoms were supposedly in full bloom this week. I travelled from Seomyeon Busan and since their were 4 of us it worked out cheaper and quicker to get a taxi.

I visited March 30th 2025, a day where and unexpected late slow sprinkled Seoul, so a slow start to spring this year and the guide indicated this was about 25% of full bloom. We can only dial in flight based on this year's forecasts so much but 25% full bloom was in NO WAY disappointing. I could have meandered and people watched happily from a bench here for...

Months ago, my wife booked a private tour for 12 persons here on 25 March, 2025. We suspected that we’d be about a week ahead of the cheery blossoms, but it was the latest opportunity during our stay in Busan. We meant to stay here for the whole day if there were cherry blossoms. Still, we managed to stay for two hours, taking photos with the train in the background, and imagining cherry blossoms...
