“Fortress in Bloom: Suwon’s Springtime Splendor”

#cherryblossom25 Suwon, located just south of Seoul, is a city rich in history—most famous for the UNESCO-listed Hwaseong Fortress. During early to mid-April, Suwon transforms into a stunning cherry blossom destination, blending natural beauty with traditional Korean architecture. Highlights of Suwon Cherry Blossoms: • Hwaseong Fortress: The crown jewel of Suwon’s cherry blossom scene. Blossoms frame the ancient fortress walls, pavilions, and gates, creating postcard-perfect views—especially at Hwaseong Haenggung Palace and Paldalmun Gate. • Suwoncheon Stream: A peaceful walking path lined with cherry trees and bridges. At night, the illuminated blossoms offer a soft, romantic atmosphere. • Manseok Park: A local favorite with a large lake and cherry blossom paths ideal for jogging, picnics, or family strolls. • Less Crowded Charm: Compared to Seoul’s hotspots, Suwon offers a more relaxed viewing experience without sacrificing scenic beauty or cultural depth.
