Hi,

Just wondering if there are any websites that track the cherry blossom season, i.e. when they have bloomed in which places. Otherwise, can somebody give me a rough estimate of when they usually bloom in various places, e.g. Seoul, Busan, etc

I loved the cherry blossom season in Japan so I really want to see as much of Korea as I can during this time (mostly on weekends due to work)...

Many thanks!

Last year the cherry trees were in full bloom during the first week of April in Seoul. The best place to see them is Yeuido Park. You can get there via subway.

Any sign of them yet? I wanted to go to Yeuido Park this weekend but I hear because it's been particularly cold, they aren't blooming anywhere in Seoul yet...

They are all over the place and in full bloom here in Ulsan. I would imagine the same for Busan. It makes for a nice walk to work!
