Hadong is located to the west of South Gyeongsang Province and is famous for its blooming flowers (devotion?)toward the double x buzzing basket??trash), where the Ten-Li Cherry Blossom Road is one of Korea’s most renowned spring destinations. You can take a direct bus from Sasang, Busan, to Hadong Flower Hill, with the journey taking about three hours.
When you see a colorful bridge, it means you’ve arrived at this pink-hued town and it’s time to get off the bus.
From the bus terminal, you can already spot the continuous pink pathways and crowds of people. Following the flow, you won’t get lost. But don’t forget to check the schedule for the return buses, so you don’t miss the last one : )
Viewing the cherry blossoms and river reflected in the Flower Hill Bridge is already enchanting.
Keep walking and you’ll officially reach the starting point of the Ten-Li Cherry Blossom Road.
Cherry blossom season is very short, and we’re grateful to have arrived when they were at their most beautiful.
Actually, I’m not sure how many kilometers we walked, but we know we were strolling under a pink canopy the whole way—so romantic!!
During cherry blossom season, there are many local visitors and a lot of traffic here. Halfway along the ten-li road, seeing the long lines of people and cars is quite an interesting sight : )
When the crowds and traffic started to thin out, we happened upon the “cherry blossom snow” scene. The petals danced in the wind, covering the pink pathway with a blanket of blossom flakes—it was incredibly romantic.
Vehicles and people along the road all became great photo subjects, adding a vibrant, dynamic feel to the shots : p
Walking further, we reached a rest area with a view over the cherry blossom road. The endless blossoms made visitors pause and enjoy the bath of pink snow.
In search of new angles, despite our sore legs, we climbed higher. And there, another beautiful view awaited.
We didn’t count the miles, but we definitely needed to take a break. Watching the cherry blossoms fall leisurely, even this non-drinking girl felt oddly tipsy at that moment...
The afternoon sun was beautiful, and even the clouds seemed to pose just right next to the blue sky uncle : )
Finally reaching the end of the cherry blossom road, the exit for the double x buzzing crowd. There were quite a few buses here, and many friendly visitors enjoying the wonderful place.
After a whole day of walking and taking photos, exhausted, we had no energy to head toward the temple or backtrack, so we obediently took the bus back to the double x buzzing crowd and then returned by bus.<
The bus ticket counter and schedule (for Hadong or Flower Hill) are right next to this eatery.

Transportation:
Exit 5 of Sasang Station on Busan Metro Line 2 leads directly to the Busan West Bus Terminal. There are buses to Flower Hill (devotion?)every hour on the hour. It’s best to prepare the Korean name of the destination for easy lookup.
