| I have heard that Yeoido park and Namsan park (near the tower) have nice ones. |

You could make a weekend of it and go check out one of the festivals... Gyeongju or jinhae. Ive only been to gyeongju - traffic is horrific, hiring a scooter is a good way to get around though  I heard Jinhae has the really big old trees and is awesome especially at night... |

| whatever you do, take a miss on the yeoido festival. there was very little in the way of "festivities" - just tons of people showing up at the park and not even all that many cherry trees. |

| If you want to get a little more off the beaten path, Suanbo has a decent little festival that happens every year. |

full blossoms now on Jeju (and 17 C yesterday)
but not as many of that kind of tree as one can find in Hadong or Jinhae along the south coast of the peninsula |
