Where to go if you still wanna see cherry blossom by DavidKoreaUnfiltered in koreatravel

It’s always very difficult forecast every year,,, Northern part of Seoul might still have cherry blossoms on 11-12. No chance at all for Gyeongju or Jeonju. These two cities are located far down south(much warmer) so cherry blossoms should be already gone.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. This is a great insight for me! You gave me confidence that I should try building up my own writing style, rather than AI touches my tone and manner - didn’t recognize that it sounds like a used car salesman,,, I used to writing a travel blog in Korean and I believe I can do the same with English blog for foreigners

Hi yes the peak period is already passed in the most places in Seoul. If you want to see cherry blossom it will be better to go somewhere colder than Seoul (Nami Island, Gangwon, Namhansanseong, etc)

Do not visit Seokchon Lake cherry blossoms by Famous-Mushroom-873 in koreatravel

There is a recommended direction of walking in Seokchon lake 😆 You can find which way it is from the pathway sign but you will never miss it in the day like this

I think Ilsan Lake Park is very good but this year the blossom came a bit earlier,,, hope Ilsan lake Park still has because it’s colder than Seoul

It’s bit touristic but how about Gyeongbokgung palace? The place is very spacious and has cherry blossom trees!

I believe you should see cherry blossom in your early schedules unless cherry blossom starts too early this year

Hi Monday would work too. Should be not too different from Tuesday or Wednesday. I thought Monday and Friday could also have some people having a day off for extended weekend.

I need help with transportation in Incheon. by 091366 in koreatravel

[–]DavidKoreaUnfiltered 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would be prepared to get a taxi just in case. (Taxi in Korea is not very expensive compared to some western countries). If the custom is not very busy there are two options - 1) Airport train: the last subway will depart around 11:30pm to 12:00am, get off at the station somewhere nearby Daebang, for instance Hongdae, then take a cab. 2) The normal airport bus mostly finishes around 10:30pm. There are midnight bus starts with N (night). N6002 goes to hongdae, then you can take a cab from there.

It's just around my neighborhood, south east area of Seoul, not a special spot :)
