Spring at Bulguksa: Beyond Cherry Blossoms 🌸

Many think spring is over once cherry blossoms fade, but that’s not the case! As they wither, King Cherry Blossoms start to bloom. These rare flowers, native to Korea, are larger, more vibrant, and bloom later than regular cherry blossoms, making them a perfect alternative if you missed the peak season.

One of the best places to enjoy them is Bulguksa Temple. The temple’s peaceful setting, surrounded by these majestic blossoms, creates an unforgettable spring experience. You can take a quiet stroll, soak in the serene atmosphere, or simply admire the vibrant colors.

Another reason to visit Gyeongju in late spring is the Buddha’s Birthday preparations. Bulguksa and other temples start decorating with colorful lanterns, adding a festive touch to the already stunning scenery. Visiting during this time allows you to experience both nature’s beauty and Korea’s deep-rooted Buddhist traditions.
