Yeouido Wunzhong Road Cherry Blossom Festival Venue
During the cherry blossom season, Yeouido Rinjung Road has not only the Yeouido Cherry Blossom Festival, but also the Seoul Yeomiaozi Night Market on Friday and Saturday. The former is located next to the National Diet Building and the latter is located at the Suigwang Plaza in Hangang Park. For some distance, during the day, I went to Seokchon Lake and Nayangcheon to enjoy the cherry blossoms. Considering the physical limitations, I went directly to the Yeouido Cherry Blossom Festival.
Seoul Yeomaozi Night Market sells delicious food and hand-made products from various countries, which attracts many young people to visit, while Yeouido Cherry Blossom Festival is called for large-scale performances. Here again I see the enthusiasm of Korean aunts and the performances on stage. The program seems to be quite suitable for the tastes of the elderly. It seems that the Cherry Blossom Festival is more suitable for the occasion of the family, but the sound is also quite loud. Those who prefer a quiet atmosphere of cherry blossoms are recommended to go to the Lunzhong Road section on the other side.
I don't know if it is affected by the diversion of the night market or the cherry blossoms are not full. Except for the cherry blossom festival performance stage, the crowds in other sections are much less than expected. At that time, many stalls were not open.At this time, Wendy and Anya, who were hungry, wanted to see what kind of food they could buy, but unexpectedly there are only instant noodles and seaweed rice rolls to choose from. This is really dumbfounded.
