Springtime in Korea - Royal Azelia Flowers

Springtime is the best time to visit Korea, for several reasons. First of all, the temperature is moderate, and the humidity doesn't get bad until July and August.

One of the best things about Korea in springtime, however, are the flowers. Especially the royal Azelias. They come out right at the end of cherry blossom season, and can be found everywhere. There is a Korean saying, that when you see the Royal Azelias appear, the cherry blossoms will soon disappear. That's the way it goes...

Jinhae Cherry Blossom Festival

The Jinhae Cherry Blossom Festival takes place every year, in southern Korea, where the weather is a little warmer and the blossoms come out sooner than they do in Seoul. There are a wide variety of events that take place over several days, and people come from all over to experience the first signs of spring on the Korean peninsula.

Jinhae city is very close to Busan, which is also a popular place to visit.
