Best 10 Hydrangea Spots in Korea

The queen of summer flowers that blooms with the rainy season, hydrangeas. From early June to mid-July, they paint the nation in shades of purple and blue for about six weeks. Hydrangeas change color depending on the soil composition, blooming blue flowers in acidic soil and pink blooms in alkaline soil, making them quite charming.

This list gathers the 10 most beloved hydrangea spots across the country, from Jeju (Camelia Hill, Hyehwaeri, Borom Wat) to the metropolitan area (Achim Goyo Arboretum, Hwadam Forest), the west coast (Cheongryangpo Arboretum), the southern region (Haenam Forest Arboretum, Boseong Yunjaerim), and to the islands and coast (Sinan Dochodo, Geoje Jeogu).

We’ve included a variety of locations — from coastal hydrangea paths with beautiful sea backdrops, large arboretums with tens of thousands of blooms, to festival sites where one million trees turn the entire island into a flower garden. We've also organized the addresses, phone numbers, and official websites of each spot, so check the blooming times and operating hours in advance, and head out for a hydrangea outing filled with stunning photos. 🌸
