Jinhae Cherry Blossom Town, Changwon: what to see and do
A small naval town that disappears under pink cherry blossoms for a short spell each spring.
Known for
- Yeojwacheon Stream and Romance Bridge
- Gyeonghwa Station railway lined with blossom
- Jehwangsan Park observatory over the town
What to do
Walk the blossom-lined stream and old railway, then climb to Jehwangsan Park for the view over the bay and rooftops in bloom.
Tip: Blossoms peak for only a week or so around late March to early April, and the town is very crowded then. Come early.
From Seoul: KTX about 3 h to Changwon Jungang, then bus about 40 min
