Start your trail at KAIST campus—a surprisingly peaceful blossom spot where trees line quiet walkways filled with students unwinding under petals. Then head to Ppuri Park, where sculptures representing Korean surnames mix with blossom-covered roads. It’s meaningful and unexpectedly charming. Next, explore the Expo Science Park and walk across the futuristic Expo Bridge, especially beautiful when lit at night beneath cherry blooms. For nature lovers, Jangtaesan Forest blends metasequoia groves and spring flowers—perfect for a peaceful April hike. Travel Tip: Daejeon is a quick KTX ride from both Seoul and Busan, making it the perfect spring day trip. Sometimes, the best blossoms aren’t the busiest—Daejeon proves it.
