They bloom about 15 days after regular cherry trees, arriving later but with fuller, rosier clusters that steal spring’s finale. Curious if you can spot these fluffy pink blooms in Seoul?
Here are the best Seoul spots to catch the double-flowering cherry trees — think April’s encore in full pink. Get ready to wander through petal-filled pathways and snap envy-worthy photos.
Boramae Park
Boramae Park, a hub for Seoul’s southwest and a beloved urban retreat, becomes one of the city’s most popular double-flower destinations each late April. The highlight is the row of double-flowering cherry trees planted near the Air Park.
These trees line a wide lawn dotted with retired aircraft displays. Their low-hanging branches bring the blooms close to eye level, creating picture-perfect moments where you’re practically face-to-blossom with the flowers.
The blossoms at Boramae are notable for their deep color and big clusters — they look dazzling even from afar. Lay out a blanket and enjoy a picnic beneath a flower tunnel; it feels more romantic than any fancy dinner in town.
With mostly flat, well-maintained paths, the park is ideal for families with strollers and couples on a relaxed date. This weekend, head to Boramae Park to collect spring memories under a shower of pink petals.
Kyung Hee University
Known affectionately as “Kyung Hee Land” for its floral beauty, Kyung Hee University’s campus transforms when the single blooms give way to double blossoms. The sight never fails to warm students’ hearts all over again.
Those double-flowering cherry trees are scattered around campus, but the showstopper is the garden in front of the main administration building. The stately European-style stone facade, antique fountain, and surrounding pink blossoms create a scene straight out of a palace garden.
Especially striking are the trees flanking the path up to Peace Hall on the main building’s left — paired with the Gothic-inspired architecture, they create a truly dramatic backdrop. Because the building itself is so ornate, you’ll get magazine-ready shots with almost no effort, which is why this spot is a favorite for students and visitors alike.
Children’s Grand Park
Children’s Grand Park is the most relaxed, family-friendly place to enjoy double-flowering cherry trees. Giant, mature trees line the broad promenade from the main gate to the back gate, offering a richer, more abundant display than many other spots. Around the greenhouse and octagonal pavilion, branches dip low enough for kids to reach, making these areas perfect for family photos.
What makes the park special is that it’s more than just flower viewing. Stroll through the blossom tunnel, stop by the free zoo for a quick visit with the kids, or chase thrills at the amusement park. Wide lawns let children run free while parents unwind beneath the blooms. It’s a place that blends education, relaxation, and gorgeous double-flowering cherry sights — ideal for a fulfilling weekend outing.
Don’t be sad that the single cherry bloom has passed — April’s double blossoms are radiant enough to lift your spirits. On the weekend of April 18–19, skip a long trip and take a short outing to Seoul’s pink hotspots. Let those puffy clusters of petals stack up as layers of happy spring memories in your heart.
