Have you ever wished to behold the fragile, sweet beauty of cherry blossoms? Did you know that, aside from Japan, many other Asian nations are also blanketed in vibrant cherry blossoms every spring? Join Mytour as we explore which countries are part of this breathtaking spectacle.
Japan
Japan, the birthplace of the breathtaking sakura (cherry blossoms), has captivated the hearts of many travelers from around the world.
It would be remiss to exclude Japan from the top spots, a nation known for its stunning and graceful cherry blossoms. These blossoms are not merely a sign of spring, but also a symbol of pride for the people of Japan. It's no wonder that the sakura has been honored as the national flower of Japan.
If visitors book a flight to Japan during springtime, typically from March to April, they are sure to witness the dreamlike cherry blossoms in full bloom, appearing in countless locations. However, the most famous spots to enjoy them include Tokyo, the ancient capital Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, and other well-known tourist destinations.
South Korea
For years, South Korea has been renowned for its romantic ballads and dreamy love stories. However, many visitors may not know that the country also boasts beautiful and captivating cherry blossoms during springtime.
According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the cherry blossom season in 2023 will begin around late March and last until mid-April. The earliest bloom will occur around March 20th on Jeju Island, while the latest blossoms will appear on April 5th in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province. Cherry blossoms can be found in many major cities across the country, such as Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Gwangju, Chungju, Pohang, and Gyeongju.
Vietnam
Every spring, Da Lat is once again immersed in the enchanting hues of cherry blossoms.
Are you surprised to find Vietnam on this list? You may not know, but the highland city of Da Lat in Vietnam is the only place in the country where cherry blossoms bloom. This sight marks the arrival of spring and is a characteristic feature of the 'City of Flowers' at the beginning of the year. After enduring a cold and foggy winter, Da Lat welcomes spring with vibrant pink cherry blossoms that blanket the sky and nature, making the city feel as if it has awakened from a long winter slumber.
The cherry blossoms in Da Lat differ slightly from the sakura of Japan. Although they are from the plum blossom variety, the flowers have a simple, five-petal shape similar to that of the apricot flower. This is why the Da Lat cherry blossoms are also known as 'apricot cherry blossoms.'
It can be said that the cherry blossoms of Da Lat are a unique feature of the highland city, and the blooming period is quite short. Therefore, if you've never had the chance to visit Da Lat's roads to witness the vibrant apricot cherry blossoms during spring, it's time to book your ticket and go!
China
As one of the most renowned countries in Asia for its breathtaking natural landmarks, China also leaves a strong impression with its cherry blossoms that bloom every February. Visitors traveling to China during this time are treated to the dreamy pink hues of cherry blossoms at numerous locations across the country's vast territory.
Several places in China are famous for their stunning and impressive cherry blossom displays: The 'Ten-Mile Peach Blossom' Park in Nanning (Guangxi Province), Lishui (Zhejiang Province), Beibei Park (Chongqing), Huqiu Mountain (Suzhou, Jiangsu Province), and Binhe Park (Hubei Province)...
Pakistan
The captivating beauty of Hunza Valley in Pakistan comes alive during the spring, stirring the soul.
Traditionally known for its association with war, terrorism, and conflict, Pakistan is a land of many global stereotypes. However, in the springtime, if you find yourself in Hunza Valley, surrounded by blooming cherry trees, you'll discover a paradise unlike any other – peaceful and serene, a stark contrast to the chaos of the outside world.
By late March, Pakistan embraces spring, and Hunza Valley transforms into a dreamy landscape, bathed in soft pink hues, with a warm and gentle atmosphere. Located in the northern part of Pakistan, this valley borders the Xinjiang region and Wakhan of Afghanistan, at an elevation of 2,438 meters. Historically, the British visited this area and referred to it as the 'garden of paradise,' thanks to its breathtaking natural beauty.
