Jinhae, Changwon, South Korea
South Korea's largest cherry blossom festival is the Jinhae Gunhangje (Navel Port Festival), about a four-hour bus ride from Seoul. The picturesque Romance Bridge, where cherry blossoms canopy the Yeojwacheon Stream, is a must-see. You can also sample a variety of street food, from traditional items such as stuffed squid and Korean pancakes to seasonal treats like cherry blossom bread, a cherry-flavored cake in the shape of a cherry blossom. This year's fest runs April 1 to 10.
