Seoul King Cherry Blossom One Day Tour | Late-Season Double-Flowered Beauty

Discover Korea's enchanting "King Cherry Blossoms"—the magnificent double-flowered variety that blooms after regular cherry blossoms fade, extending your spring dreams into late April.

Description

When most visitors believe cherry blossom season has ended, Korea reveals one of its most beautiful secrets: the King Cherry Blossom, known locally as "Gyeop-beot-kkot" or double-flowered cherry. These magnificent trees produce flowers with multiple layers of delicate petals, creating fuller, more luxurious blooms that transform parks into clouds of soft pink. Blooming approximately two weeks after regular cherry blossoms, these royal flowers offer a second chance at spring for those who missed the early season spectacle.
