Icheon Baeksa Sansuyu Flower Festival
Icheon’s Baeksa Village is home to a number of sansuyu trees (known as the Japanese Dogwood or Cornus Fruit trees), which have been growing naturally in the area for over 100 years. In early spring, the trees turn a striking bright yellow, whilst in autumn the village is filled with the trees’ vivid red fruits. During the festival, visitors can participate in Korean traditional folk games and watch the sansuyu flower parade. When the sansuyu trees blossom, many professional photographers travel to Baeksa Village just to take pictures of this beautiful sight.
