In Korea, there are numerous festivals throughout the year, but I particularly love flower festivals. Each season brings different blooms, and in Korea, entire fields of these flowers are cultivated, creating picturesque scenes perfect for Instagram photos.
Primarily, these festivals are aimed at attracting tourists, but it's hard to convey the emotions and feelings one experiences when surrounded by seas of beautiful flowers. Walking along these fields, you can even catch a faint aroma of the blooms.
During the summer, various flowers come into bloom, resulting in a succession of different flower festivals. Among all these festivals, I want to highlight my top 3 favourites.
Lotus Festival
Firstly, there are the lotus festivals. Their blooming season just started. Did you know lotus seeds can live for over 1000 years? They are probably the hardiest seeds. Additionally, the lotus is a symbol of Buddhism.
Honestly, I didn't realize lotus stems could be so tall and large. Some can grow over 160 meters! Walking alongside them makes you feel like a dwarf.
Unfortunately, because of the rain, some flowers didn't look so good, and it was hard to take photos but I hope it will get more beautiful later since the blossom season has just started.
Hydrangea Festival
The next festival, which is nearing its end, is the hydrangea festival. Hydrangea gardens, especially on Cheju Island, are particularly popular. But you can also find hydrangeas frequently in Seoul, in all sorts of colors.
Sunflower Festival
Lastly, I want to mention the sunflower fields. I really love these flowers, probably because they remind me of the sun. The sunflowers here seem just as tall and large as the lotuses. Unfortunately, we've been having rain these days, so I haven't been able to enjoy the sunflowers fully. Still, I hope to take a walk through the sunflower fields before their blooming season ends.
Just imagine that some of those flower fields are larger than a football field! And there are several regions, and places where you can find them.
