This weekend’s drive made me want to go under the cherry blossoms. If you don’t have a fancy convertible and want to drive through a tunnel of cherry blossoms, we’ve rounded up our favorite cherry blossom drives.
1. Gwangjin-gu Walkerhill Cherry Blossom Road
Walkerhill Cherry Blossom Road is a cherry blossom viewing spot that stretches from Achasan Ecological Park to Walkerhill Hotel. Every spring, many people intentionally go for a drive along the Walkerhill Cherry Blossom Road. There are also sidewalks for pedestrians, so it’s a great place to take a stroll!

3. Bukhanggang Samhoeri Cherry Blossom Trail
Located in Cheongpyeong, Gapyeong-gun, Samhoeri Cherry Blossom Road is famous for its cherry blossom tunnel that pours over the roofs of cars every spring. The road is called Bukhan River Road, but it is also called Samhoe-ri Cherry Blossom Road because it starts from Samhoe 1-ri Village Hall and runs along the river.

4. Yongin Hoyam Art Museum Gashil Cherry Blossom Trail
The Hoyam Museum of Art’s Gashil Cherry Blossom Road, which is one of the eight scenic spots in Yongin, is located next to Everland, so you can see cherry blossoms and enjoy tulips at Everland.
The road itself is short, but the cherry blossoms along the way from the Everland toll gate to Hoam Art Museum are spectacular.

5. Yongin Asiana CC Cherry Blossom Road
Also known as the Asiatic Cherry Blossom Trail, this is a great place to visit when the cherry blossoms in other parts of the country are done. The cherry blossoms are the last to bloom, so it’s easy to get the timing wrong. 👉 Know exactly when the cherry blossoms will bloom!
If you want to enjoy the feeling of passing by mountain birds and cherry blossom tunnels, we recommend the Asiana CC Cherry Blossom Trail, which stretches from Daedae Hanter to Yangji Sports Park!
