Gangneung Gyeongpo Cherry Blossom Festival 2019

Hello!
I am the managet of Gangneung Tours~!
Today, I explain about Gangneung Gyeongpo Cherry Blossom Festival!

The annual Gyeongpo Cherry Blossom Festival in Gangneung was held from April 2 to 7 in 2019. 

The cherry blossom festival has been established as the representative festival of Gangneung,
and many domestic and foreign tourists visited the festival. 

You can see the beautiful cherry blossoms surrounding Gyeongpo Lake, Gyeongpodae Pavilion
(Tangible Cultural Property No.6 of Gangwon Province).

You can enjoy the festival not only during the day but also in the evening.
When the sun goes down, the lights make the cherry blossoms look better.
That’s why there were so many visitors visiting the festival in the evening.

Taking pictures with the beautiful cherry blossoms in a dark evening and enjoying the fresh air
​with the cool breeze is another advantage of the festival!

Various cultural and artistic events, such as photo zones, experience activities and exhibitions,
were held ​from the three-kilometer point of the Gyeongpodae entrance.
So I will tell you about the cultural and artistic event!

First of all, there were various photo zones where visitors could enjoy the festival while taking pictures.
There was Giant Snowball Photo Zone where visitors could take pictures.
They could take part in the gift event by posting good pictures on their social media services.
Winners of the event received prizes.
