Plum blossoms are the first flowers to overcome the colder weather and start blooming to mark the beginning of spring. They usually begin to bloom at the end of February, fully blooming around mid-March to April. Out of all the possible locations in Korea, we daresay that Changdeokgung Palace offers the most “Korean” flower viewing experience.
Admission is 3,000 won for adults (between 25-64 years of age), but admission is free for visitors wearing a hanbok. This includes for foreigners! Why don’t you enjoy a palace outing dressed to match the colorful pink and white plum blossoms?
