Night Cherry Blossoms at Seokchon Lake

I tend to travel intensively and frequently to a country once I fall in love with it. Over the past year and a half, I've visited Seoul more than six times, each trip filled with eating, drinking, and shopping. This March, I suddenly had the urge to see cherry blossoms in Korea and started planning for it. Cherry blossom season usually gives me the impression of higher travel costs and the need to mentally prepare for being surrounded by crowds, which is why I've never been particularly interested in cherry blossom viewing... (Even though I used to be a big fan of Japan). Perhaps due to my growing obsession with Korean dramas over the past two or three years, I wanted to experience the beauty of cherry blossom rain as seen on screen. Before departing, I researched cherry blossom viewing spots recommended and hidden gems shared by netizens. Within five days, I visited six or seven locations, including streets, parks, and riversides. Although I really dislike crowded places, the night cherry blossoms at Seokchon Lake were absolutely worth braving the crowds for!
