Jinhae/Gyeongju Cherry Blossom Festival & Bike Tour

Overview

We are sorry to announce but unfortunately this year’s Jinhae Cherry Blossom festival is canceled. We really wanted to go together but with the current situation and keeping your safety in mind the event was cancelled. Through these times Adventure Korea will always be with you and we sincerely hope to see you all soon. 

With Love,

Adventure Korea

This trip we will take you to Jinhae and Gyeongju, also known as the Rome of Korea. There, you can experience the beauty of blossoming cherry blossoms. The cherry blossoms are planted all along the roads and paths here making for a great flower tunnel to go through. Gyeongju is one of the must-see places in Korea since it is full of history. Experience the breathtaking views of traditional Korean Temples and participate in walking and biking along paths lined with cherry blossom trees. Dig into a delicious Korean BBQ dinner once the sun goes down. Optional places and activities you can try on your own include the Teddy bear museum, hot air-balloon rides, noraebong, ATV riding, and an amusement park. You don’t want to miss out on this adventure!
