DAY-OF PLAN
Temporary heritage work, severe weather and safety controls can still restrict the narrow grove or pavilion route.
Because this grove lies relatively far north, Seocheon County says its main bloom arrives in early spring rather than midwinter.
Dongbaekjeong sits above the coast. Leave time for the narrow, sloped route back from the pavilion after the view.
MAKE A HALF-DAY OF IT
