A myriad of beautiful spring flowers such as azaleas, forsythias, and royal azaleas are all in full bloom during mid-April at Yeouiseo-ro (Yunjung-ro), but the festival is best known for the hundreds of King Cherry Trees that line Yeouido’s roads. During the festival period, the road encircling the Yeouido National Assembly building is closed to traffic, so visitors can come away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and stroll through the tunnel of blossoming cherry trees that winds alongside the waters of the Han River. After sunset, colored lights illuminate the cherry blossom trees and create a romantic nighttime view.
Festival events include a selection of street performances and art exhibitions.
