① Busan’s Signature Cherry Blossom Streets
With the return of the cherry blossom season, many tourists are preparing for their spring travels. Busan, excluding Jeju Island, is the quickest place to see cherry blossoms. Among various cherry blossom spots in Busan, Namcheon-dong is a representative cherry blossom destination. The road from Samik Beach Town Apartments to Gwangalli Beach is a great place to enjoy cherry blossoms. It’s a place where Busan locals flock to see cherry blossoms every spring.
An interesting point of Cherry Blossom Street is that residents of the Namcheon-dong apartment complex planted cherry trees along the 0.87-mile road within the complex and the coastal road to change the barren atmosphere. As a result, Cherry Blossom Street was born. Thanks to this, many tourists visit this place to enjoy cherry blossoms every spring. It has also gained popularity among foreign tourists.
However, Cherry Blossom Street will disappear due to the reconstruction of Samik Beach Town Apartments. Unfortunately, we can only enjoy the cherry blossoms until this year. The redevelopment association plans to plant 389 cherry trees in the newly established apartment complex.
