Sansuyu Flower Festival, Gurye
1:26:00 AMSansuyu is a type of small yellow spring flowers in Korea. Once a year, there is a big Sansuyu Flower festival in Gurye, Korea. However, the festival only lasted for 3 days. I went there on the 31st of March. It's about two hours bus (include interchange) from Gwangju to Gurye.
This is Sansuyu flower.. It's really very small.. the whole sangwi village is full of sansuyu flowers.
We are at the entrance of the flower festival.
I love this place.. this whole place is full of sansuyu flowers =)
Like a boss...
In between, there are little games to cheer the tourist.
This is Sansuyu flower tea. It cost about 1000won (RM 3) in just a small paper cup. My friend tried it but I didn't. It tastes like chinese herbal tea which I don't like..
and my beautiful wings.. hehe..
The place is more or less like the Meahwa Festival that I went (blogged in the previous post). The place is full of stalls that sell all kinds of korean snacks.
After that, we went to a nearby park called Love Park (사랑공원).
Many single boys and girls come here to make a wish, hoping that cupids can pay more attention to them =)
The words: Sansuyu Flower, Love Park
This place is near the entrance of the Love Park. But basically there is nothing much there. People just go there because it's near to the flower festival.
These were taken inside the Love Park!
The place is beautifully decorated for tourist. There were many people that day, most of them are Koreans.
A close up for the flower.. It's abit out of focus coz my camera cannot focus on so many part.. But, basically it looks something like this. This is Sansuyu Flower Festival.

Hi! Thanks for posting your wonderful photos! I have one question, how many hours will take from Seoul to Jungdong?
ReplyDeleteSeoul to Gurye Bus terminal is 3 hours assuming you take the direct bus. Then from Gurye bus terminal to the festival is probably another 40 minutes or so.
