Festival Highlights: The rich spring season covered with lots of canola flowers and cherry blossoms make Jeju-do a popular location, attracting many visitors in the spring. Therefore, as it turns to spring, it’s difficult to reserve plane tickets especially on the weekends. Most of the tickets are sold out even as early as a month prior, so for visitors wishing to visit Jeju-do, they should reserve tickets far in advance.
For a more romantic visit to the Cherry Blossom Festival, visit the area around nightfall when the trees are lit. A snowfall of cherry blossoms and barbequed pork with a nice cold beer can offer an unforgettable experience.
