Spring Flower Festivals Signal the Change of Seasons

Spring announces its arrival in Korea with a blanket of yellow and white blossoms spreading throughout the country. Cherry blossoms, apricot flowers, and cornus fruit trees bloom from the beginning of March when the air is still chilly. From mid-March the warm season sees a host of festivals take place in Korea where visitors can stroll amidst the glorious blossoming flowers and see the country at its best. (source: visitkorea)

SPRING n KOREA...bestnyeeeeeee

WHAT TO BUY?

Food

Kimchi

Kimchi is a fermented food. Typically, Chinese cabbage or white radish is salted and mixed with red chili peppers, garlic, ginger, salted fish, and other ingredients. Originating from fermented and salted vegetables that were prepared during the winter, kimchi played a crucial role in the Korean diet in a time when vegetables were not readily available.

Fashion Items

Glasses

The reason that there are so many optical stores in Namdaemun is that they deal with both wholesale and retail business. This, in turn, makes it possible for shops to offer a large selection of products at reasonable prices. In fact, eyeglasses purchased in the Namdaemun area are approximately 30% cheaper than those sold in other areas.

Traditional Items

Hanbok

The beauty of hanbok can be witnessed in historical dramas and films portraying ancient Korea.

Hallyu Items

There are many reasons for the popularity of the Korean Wave. Korean soap operas are considered the embodiment of the filial piety, innocent love, and the virtue of humility, while Korean music is believed to be among the most sophisticated music being created in Asia today.
