Jinhea cherry blossoms adventure

                   

Finishing up the spring with my favorite videos of my cherry blossoms adventure taken in the beautiful city of Jinhea.This video was compiled from my two latest visits covering our joyride with my friend Sonia and stop over with my friends Luther and Liza at the famous cherry blossom tunnel, Romantic stream and the Gyeonghwa train station.  
This is one of the best place to visit during spring located in the Province of Gyeongnam. The blooming schedules therefore isn't guaranteed if you are booking an early trip as the global warming makes the forecast unpredictable.

 If you live in Korea and you are driving a car, your Jinhea festival visit won't be complete if you aren't passing through this beautiful tunnel cherry blossoms. 

                                                                                                                                     




 But it usually blooms in either late March or early April make sure you are fully updated with the blooming schedules if this is your main purpose of visiting and you don't wanna be disappointed. Also try to avoid coming here on weekends, because even weekdays' the place is packed with tourist from all over the world.  

Don't worry if you missed the bloom on the other side of the mountain, the west side usually comes late so you won't be that disappointed. 
 The tunnel from the west side starts here..
 A quick stop over at the vie point deck. 

The whole drive actually was all aisled with cherry blossoms. 






















I remember my first ever visit of this place back in 2007. I was walking my puppies when I met a local woman who was also walking her puppy. I was new here so my Korean language knowledge was limited but to my understanding of what she was trying to say was let's meet in front of your house at such time. I though she meant that we were walking together, but to my surprise she came with her car and drove me all the way to Jinhea just to show me this beautiful scenery.. Wonderful people aren't they?

South Korea


Introducing you the root of my concept, I am an immigrant and currently residing in this beautiful country South Korea. And I made a goal of exploring each and every corner of this beautiful country. This is South Korea Terrain Map that I've screened shot  from Google maps. A population of  51,194,511 and under a  judicial system country.


 South Korea was divided into nine  Provinces North ChungcheongSouth ChungcheongGangwonGyeonggi,   North GyeongsangSouth GyeongsangNorth JeollaSouth Jeolla, and Jeju Special Self-Governing Province unfortunately, I was not able to visit the three of the provinces yet which is Gangwon,  South Chungcheon and North Jeolla. Still way more to go on my journey after mapping it. The I have visited the rest of the provinces, I still haven't been around every corner of each places. Let alone the province where I am resided, I have not visited it completely as well.
Confusions between North and South


Thanks to the social media almost most of the people are now  far aware that Korea was divided into two separate countries. South Korea and North Korea. Also, do not get confused over thses two like I always do. Pyeongchang is where the winter Olympic game was held in 2018 in South, and Pyeongyang is capital city the North.

 Historically, The division happened at the end of world war 2 in 1945. South Korea went under the care of The United States of America, and the South therefore went under the Soviet Union.

 And for the first time in history, the two had made a vow to end the war in historic accord. It was indeed a great historical mark that the two leaders have done in this era. 대한민국 진심으로 축하드립니다.
