FIELD FLOW

Four steps instead of a frozen calendar

1Enter the actual travel date and region; a national season label is not a local condition.
2Open the official forecast and the operator notice before paying for a weather-dependent activity.
3Save one indoor or lower-exposure fallback in the same district.
4After visiting, record the real place and date in Footprints and report a changed condition to the community.

PACK

Pack for the exposure

Carry water and a light layer; shade and wind differ around the river and hills.
Use public transport and a named exit when festival road controls apply.
Keep picnics off roots, planted beds and pedestrian flow.

STOP SIGNALS

What overrides the itinerary

A wind, rain or fine-dust alert overrides the itinerary, and it also ends the bloom. One storm can strip a street overnight.
Festival road closures, one-way pedestrian routes and station exit controls are final. On peak weekends Seoul closes exits, not only roads.
Turn back when the crowd stops moving. A packed riverside path or a stalled bridge approach is a crush risk, not a photograph.
