Itinerary

120 min

I will pick up your location around 08.00~09.00 from Busan to Jinhae Gyeonghwa Station arrival around 10.00 and then we will enjoy cherry blossom city Gyeonghwa Station, famous for beautiful cherry blossoms in spring, is a small railway station in Jinhae-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do. The station is neighbored by Seongjusa Station to the north and Jinhae Station to the south. Railway services in and out of Gyeonghwa Station have been discontinued as of 2006. Visitors can walk through the tracks surrounded by rows of cherry blossom trees, making a tunnel of flowers. Along with Anmingogae Road and Yeojwacheon Bridge, Gyeonghwa Station is one of the top three cherry blossom photo spots in Jinhae. The area featured in Korean movies and dramas such as the film “Boy Goes to Heaven (2005)" and drama “Spring Waltz (2006)."

60 min

Anmingogae Hill is a 9-kilometer-long hill that stretches from Taebaek-dong in Jinhae to Anmin-dong in Changwon. Cherry blossom trees line both sides for 6 kilometers of the 9-kilometer road, making up the famous inhae Cherry Blossom Tunnel. The hill is also known for its view of Jinhaeman Bay, Ungsan Mountain, Sirubong Peak and Cheonjabong Peak. The hill is dotted with benches placed about 100 meters apart, offering visitors a seat to catch their breath while enjoying the view and cherry blossom trees.

60 min

Jehwangsan Park, located on Jehwangsan Mountain at the heart of Jinhae, is home to the nine-story Jinhae Tower. The tower, which symbolizes a Korean naval warship, stands at the top of a 365-step staircase and commands a splendid view of both the city and the coastline with cherry blossom. On the first and second floors of the tower is the Jinhae City Museum, exhibiting folk models and relics excavated from Jinhae.

60 min

Naval Academy, and Jinhae Naval Base, which are usually not allowed access to the public, are a must-see place during the Jinhae Gunhangje Festival period. Visitors can enjoy and explore a variety of activities such as visiting the Naval academy Museum and the Turtle Ship, open warship events, photographing, wearing naval uniforms.

120 min

The area around Yeojwacheon Stream is well known as one of Jinhae’s best spots for viewing cherry blossoms. It is also the location of the bridge where the two leading characters, Gwanu and Chaewon of "Romance (2002)," MBC’s TV series, first met as tourists who came to Jinhae to enjoy Jinhae Gunhangje Festival. After the episode was aired, the bridge instantly became popular and widely known as the Romance Bridge. Each April, the entire city of Jinhae is filled with cherry blossoms, but the Yeojwacheon Stream area has the most beautiful cherry blossoms which makes it a prime tourist attraction.

60 min

Jangboksan Sculpture Park stands as the unofficial gateway to Jinhae at the end of Jangbok-ro Road between Masan and Jinhae. Built-in 1979 in the wake of a mountain landslide, the park offers a panoramic view of Jinhae and its quiet waters. In spring, more than ten thousand cherry trees interspersed throughout the pines come to full bloom, permeating the air with their sweet fragrance.

Cherry Blossoms on full display

We had to shift our tour by 1 week due to the later bloom of the Cherry Blossoms. Frank our tour guide was very accommodating in making that happen. We just completed the tour today and it was fabulous! The blossoms were in bloom and the 2 key areas in Jinhae were not too busy. Frank was engaging in explaining the historical and cultural aspects of the flowers and the area in general. Would highly recommend this tour during the 2 week annual bloom season.

Beautiful blossoms, great food and fantastic guide

Our guide Ilkoo Kim made our day wonderful. We arrived in Busan on a very rainy cool day. He was able to rearrange our schedule to show us the best of the cherry blossoms while along with other sites in the city. Thank you for a great day.
