Jinhae's cherry blossom festival is good known for it's beautiful blooms too scenery.
I receive got been longing to become to Jinhae for years too I finally did it this fourth dimension round. I don't recollect whatever of my daughter friends volition live interested to go thence far too long to larn to this place, thence I decided to create it on my own. :)
Getting to Jinhae was definitely non easy. There are thence many blogs write-ups with thence many ways to larn in that location but eventually I came upwards alongside my ain way. Because I stayed inwards Daegu,
I traveled from Dongdaegu station----> Masan Station ---> Jinhae station, via Mugunhwa prepare alongside my KTX PASS, equally previously mentioned.
(* truly I would recommend staying inwards Busan instead of Daegu, I volition explicate inwards a afterward post*)
Anyway, the total journeying took nearly 2hrs.
In fact I took really long to enquiry on the best routes to Jinhae too made many amendments before finally settling on this route. You tin lav also select to attain Jinhae from Changwon station too.
Jinhae station is the location where all the happenings for the festival was. However, because I was in that location exclusively on the in conclusion day, in that location wasn't much of a crowd too all the exciting happenings receive got already died down. The stalls were nevertheless merely about but non equally lively equally it would be. Of course, I would recommend y'all to live in that location on the showtime few days of the festival where the blooms are the prettiest too filled alongside omphalus performances too armed services performances.
The festival lasted from 1st to 10th April this yr too I believed the dates vary slightly every year. It was also truly difficult to invention too wing in that location for the festival equally the exact dates were exclusively announced really much afterward merely about March...
This is the official website for this year: http://gunhang.changwon.go.kr/2013/main.jsp
alongside all the information for performances, firework displays etc.
So after such ho-hum traveling, I receive got finally reached Jinhae too I am thence glad that along the means I met a Philippine friend who happened to operate inwards Singapore but is instantly inwards Korea for her enquiry studies. I shall non named my friend hither for privacy. ^^
It was truly wonderful to go alongside a new-found friend......

P.S: quoted from KTO's FB comments, how to spot the departure betwixt Maehwa too Cherry Blossoms:
- Maehwa tend to live round, whereas cherry blossoms are oval, too tend to receive got a piffling indentation at the transcend of the petals. Cherry blossoms are connected past times a long stalk to the branch. Maehwa are commonly (but non always) stuck correct on the branch.
- Maehwa's anthers are yellowish too longer whereas cherry blossoms' anthers are deep pinkish too shorter.
hope this helps....!! ^^
