At around 3pm on 25 March, 2025, our party of 12 people came. We didn’t see any cherry blossoms. What we saw was one of our members helping an elderly with her cart crossing a bridge where we posed for a group photo, it was so heartwarming.

Absolutely worth visiting in Jinhae at any time during the cherry blossom season (and quite honestly there’s no much in the area for food, cafes and bars/karaoke at any time of the year). We decided to stay in Jinhae to have more flexibility and peace about visiting the stream and the whole suburb is covered in cherry blossom trees! There were more people around during the day on tours, but the lights reflect off the flowers and stream’s water at night, so really night is a completely new experience alongside the street food and stalls. It’s day 1 of the festival today and we will be back for the flowers in full blossom one day. We loved it here!

I visited during the cherry blossom festival this year with a tour group and I would highly recommend the tour for this because I primarily travel with the the subway and this allowed me to take their bus to this location and back to Busan. It was also a good mix of guided / planned time and wandering around to investigate whatever peaked my interest. I travel solo and the rest of the tour group provided social interaction for a day which I enjoyed. I booked it on the Klook site and the name of it was "Jinhae Pink Cherry Blossom Festival Tour from SEOUL / BUSAN". There was plenty to do at this destination, snacks, photo ops, drinks, and local restaurants.

The Most Beautiful Place on Earth – Yeojwacheon Cherry Blossom Festival in Jinhae I had the absolute privilege of visiting Yeojwacheon during Jinhae’s cherry blossom season, and I can say without exaggeration—it is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. The entire stream was lined with endless rows of cherry blossoms, their petals dancing in the breeze like pink snow. The sight was breathtaking, something out of a dream or a movie scene. It’s no wonder people from all over the world found their way here. What amazed me the most was not just the scenery, but how international the atmosphere felt. I overheard languages from all over—English, Chinese, Japanese, French. It made me wonder: how did people from so many different countries hear about this hidden gem in Korea? It’s a testament to just how globally beloved the Jinhae Cherry Blossom Festival has become. The crowds were large, yet everyone seemed to be in a peaceful and joyful mood, taking in the natural beauty with wide eyes and camera phones constantly snapping. What’s even more remarkable is that it wasn’t just Yeojwacheon that was celebrating—the entire district of Jinhae felt like a massive, vibrant festival. Every street was decorated, food stalls were everywhere, local music filled the air, and people wore smiles that reflected the joy of spring. It felt like the whole city had come alive to celebrate the arrival of cherry blossoms. I’ve traveled to many places, but Jinhae during cherry blossom season is something else entirely. It’s not just a place to take pretty photos—it’s a place to feel wonder, to share beauty with strangers, and to be reminded of how magical nature can be. I can’t recommend it enough. If you ever get the chance, this is an experience you don’t want to miss.

Worth the travel and anticipation, everything was truly magical! 🌸🌸🌸 The Cherry Blossom Festival was an enchanting experience that beautifully captured the essence of spring. The trees were in full bloom, creating a breathtaking canopy of pink and white petals that seemed to stretch endlessly across the park. The atmosphere was vibrant yet peaceful,l everyone was coming together to celebrate the fleeting beauty of the blossoms. The sense of both locals and tourists were astounding. Everyone was in high spirits, sharing smiles and conversations with strangers, all united by the beauty of the blossoms. The festival did get quite crowded, especially in the afternoon, making it difficult to find a good spot for viewing the trees or participating in some of the activities. Arriving early is definitely recommended to fully enjoy the experience.

Beautiful place to take a walk during the cherry blossom festival ✨

To anyone looking for a place to enjoy, relax and feel the spring vibe (especially for people living in a tropical country like me where there is only hot, hotter, and hottest type of weather), this river is the right one for you. We went there during the full bloom season of cherry blossoms and my experience is priceless. It was raining in the evening upon our arrival but it only added to the mood that I was feeling - excited. The river is a long one so make sure to see all the stops there and the food stalls around it sells tasty and affordable korean dishes. There are various coffee shops available too for any coffee lover out there so you won't have to worry about that. Make sure to come and visit this river of you happen to be in Jinhae and let me know what you felt.

Free entry. The most of the site was closed and undergoing a facelift. It is located very far out from Busan, in Changwon, so bus only. However, it is a very beautiful location with nice views. It is close to the water, had areas for picnics, taking photos and taking strolls along the coast. The restrooms weren’t fully equipped (I usually carry my own toiletries so I was ok).

Good place to visit even if it's in cold weather.

A very well designed set. You are stepping right into the past, with the option to do a nice shirt hike along the coast line.

Free entrance. Fun place to hang around if you have time. Drama set for 1-6th century Kaya kingdom.

Very nice place to take a picture Should come in the bloom seasons

I was so happy to finally visit the shooting location of many of my fav K Dramas including "Mr. Sunshine" and "Hwarang". This place is very unique and has one can also see amazing views of the island nearby! Definitely recommend if you like to explore new things!!

I’ve visited several drama sets over my many trips to Korea and this one is definitely one of the nicest ones I’ve visited. It’s a decent size and many of the buildings allow visitors to enter them unlike some of the other sets I’ve visited. Definitely worth the visit!

This environmentally-friendly park is a walking distance from Yeojwacheon Stream. It boasts a splendid natural landscape with different species of trees including cherry blossom and maple trees. A nice place to stroll when the weather is nice~!

We visited during the cherry blossom 🌸. Awesome place to visit with full of natural beauty.

Beautiful, tranquil park! Great place for a slow walk around the lake.

Lots of hiking trail. Path around the pond with a dock to feed the goldfish. Exercise park with equipment and hulu hoops.

Great experience really enjoyed the beauty of Autumn 🍁🍂

Beautiful and quiet park close to Yeojwacheon Stream.

Last autumn @ jinhae in 8 december 2019. Beautiful....

Jinhae Marine Park is another good leisure option here in South Korea. Located a few kilometers from Busan, this place has a marine museum, a destroyer museum, a large aquarium, and two large observation towers. One of them is a restaurant and to enjoy the view from the top, you need to reserve a table in advance. The other, larger one, we were unable to visit as it was closed to visitors, which was a great frustration, as this tower is the biggest attraction of the place. Parking is private and there is a small fee for visiting. The island has stunning views and I recommend coming in the afternoon to enjoy the Korean sunset.

Has good view and fresh air. Walking here is best. U can do fishing and camping here too.

120m high solar tower reflect GyeongNam Province's policy to make this place as a landmark of Marine Park. This marine park will be developed for water sports such as yacht. ZipTrack, 1.4km long, is opened and welcomes visitors. Keep in mind to visit ZipTrack website to ticket unless you have to see other people enjoying. SharkBoat is waiting for you to get you back. I expect ChangWon to make this place hot since JinHae does not have something good to see.

Welcome to Korea AMY.

Nice experience. Good views of the area.

Good place for family with kids.. Some facility not working regrettably

Love the place! Its good for 5+ years old kids

I came at April 15th and there is not any cherry blossom after festival few days :(

Jinhae Dream Park, nestled in the heart of Jinhae, South Korea, is a captivating haven for nature enthusiasts and families alike. Boasting meticulously manicured gardens, vibrant flower displays, and serene walking paths, the park offers a serene escape from the bustling city life. Cherry blossoms in spring transform the landscape into a breathtaking sea of pink, creating a picturesque backdrop for leisurely strolls. The park also features recreational areas for children, adding a family-friendly touch. With its peaceful ambiance, seasonal beauty, and thoughtful design, Jinhae Dream Park stands as a delightful destination for those seeking tranquility and natural splendor.

Nice place to hike and relax.

It has big trees, beautifull flowers and lake, during spring cherry blossoming

Very nice place, especially during spring.

This is such a beautiful park. When we visited in January the pond was frozen over. There are many lovely hiking trails.

a place u cant be missed, great for photo shooting..

O'Brien's is a great little Irish bar in Changwon. The food is decent (the burgers are a little dry but with sauce they taste good), but the drinks are great! As an Irish person, the Guinness is overpriced, however, that's the norm in Korea, unfortunately. It tastes good though!

Great place for Guinness! Cold and fresh, soccer on the Tele all the time. Darts and pool!

Friendly staff, Austin and Paul are always great. Good drink and food specials. Good burgers and menu including paninis, fish and chips, burritos. Fries with ranch! Pool table and darts.

3rd floor if in doubt. Great pint of Platinum IPA. Nice and friendly place.

I was totally bummed about having to be in Korea on business in the dead of winter...and then I discovered O'Briens and Platinum Ale on draft! Get happy :)

Great place with lots of food from home and great drinks. Take on the shot challenge of enjoy a burger.

Very nice and relaxed atmosphere. Friendly bar lady too

We ordered pasta, salad and ribeye stake, the pasta was dry and the ribeye stake was tough. Salad was jus so so.

Extremely expensive. Steak portions available were very big so I had to order steak that was not my first choice. 70000 won for 150 gram steak a glass of red wine and the typical substandard korean steak

The steak is very good...delicious...and make me want to back again

Pricey for traveller. But worth it.

Great stuff and gorgeous food

Put back has a good vibe and it tastes very good. The staff sang a happy birthday song on my birthday and the service was good. If you sit by the window, you can see the street below but the twinking lights are pretty. I recommend baby backrib food.

I had a hair in my shrimp pasta dish, slow service and very pricy. Menu is much smaller than in the USA. No blooming onion or burgers. Those around me who got ribs had better looking dish, if you go I would recommend that.

This is not a place for anyone who is familiar with Indian food and knows that Indian food is all about flavor. If it weren't for the tender pieces of chicken, I'd be giving it 1 star. The garlic chicken tikka had tender pieces of chicken, cooked almost perfect, but absolutely no flavor of tikka masala or garlic. The biriyani was nothing more than basmati rice mixed with one of their chicken curries and was pretty bland.

Absolutely one of my favorite places to eat in Changwon. I've become a regular there. The staff is so friendly and the food is always delicious. Definitely recommend!

The most delicious and authentic Indian cuisine I’ve ever had in Korea. Great food with mouthwatering taste.

Good Indian dishes with nominal price

This may be the original Inidian restaurant of this area, but standards may have slipped im terms of cleanliness and the dishes served. There are plenty of other options in the same building.

Bombay is DELICIOUS! Been there twice now. Best veg pakora I've ever had!

If you're missing the delicious flavors of your exploits to India or Middle East, prepare your taste buds to go back in flavor time.

Great food. I had chicken tika masala, garlic cheesy naan bread ans rice. They provide peanuts. As you can see, the food was fresh, hot and delicious. I appreciate the staff being fluent in english since I didnt speak Korean. Plenty of tables and even some private tables. Is on the 3rd floor. (Took me some time to realize that) it was so good i went back a few days later.

Delicious food , authentic taste visiting this place for 7 years , neat and clean atmosphere. Highly recommended 👍🏻 👍🏻

It is an Indian restaurent for Veg and Non-veg food. Food Quality is very tasty and excellent. Usually indian people prefer here. During my stay of 15 days, i have observed that both the Chefs Mr. Rajpal and Gagdish very co-operative and decent. They make the fresh food everytime and even co-operate for delivering food at our working place. This is the best hotel in Changwon South Korea for Indian food. Even same building found three more Indian Restaurant.

The masala chai and samosa is just like home. Food is tasty and staff is very friendly and cooperative. I would also recommend the veg soup, chicken do pyaaza and chhole masala .. yummies

This restaurant is run by a local pakistani Tandoori chicken curry and I like the combination~ Lunch is good value and you can park at the power store.

This place is very recommended, the foods are good, the services are very welcome, you guys have to visit here :)

It is the best place to have a delicious indian food. The food is bomb. You must must try it once in life and you will come over and over again. They cook food according to arabic taste, Bangladeshi taste as well.the chef are pro. Trust me if you live in korea it is worth to travel just to eat delicious food

Excellent Pakistan/India cuisine in Changwon. The owner and staff are highly cooperative, service was excellent. Highly recommend Pak/India people visiting Changwon to have dinner here.

I ordered chicken tikka masala and garlic nan. they were good. it was quite big portion as well. (I am so full now) kind and quick service. thank you :) I highly recommend.

Punjab is an incredible restaurant! All the food is fresh and delicious, I will definitely be going here more. Mango lassi had a great natural taste, gulab jamun were perfectly cooked, and the veg biryani was perfect! Hoping to try the lamb next time. The waiter was very good and spoke some English. If you want good Indian food I recommend Punjab!
