Introduce

After the last cold snap of the Spring goes away and April arrives, cherry blossoms start to bloom on a 4km-long road in Hwagae which is located between two provinces, Jeolla-do and Gyeongsang-do. This famous road called ‘Shimni Beotkkot’ which means ‘4km of cherry blossoms’, is also referred to as the ‘Wedding Road’ because there is an old legend saying that a couple who loves each other can live happily together for the rest of their lives when they walk this road holding hands. And many couples around the country visit Hadong to walk this romantic road. The cherry blossoms that bloom like white snow flakes also decorate a 25km-long road referred to as ‘Hwagaedongcheon’ which means ‘flower-blooming place that is touching the sky’ and holds various colorful cultural events.
