6D Cherry Blossom Ride in Jeollanamdo Korea

ITINERARY

NOTE: Enquire for a private group of 6 and above.

Day 1                   Arrive Incheon – Seoul

Upon arrival in Incheon International Airport, you will be met and transferred in a group.

Enroute, visit Incheon Open Port Old Town – walk the streets of Incheon Open Port Old Town, reflecting a “bustling” time in Incheon during the late 19th Century. Stop by Incheon Chinatown for a short stroll through the colourful streets. The area harbours many of the flavors of China, preserving the traditional culture of the first-generation Chinese in South Korea. Certain parts of the streets are regularly used as filming location for Korean dramas.

If time permits, we’ll visit Hyundai Premium Outlet Songdo for some quick outdoor apparel retail therapy located at the basement.

Before we reach the hotel, we may make a stop at Yeouido Park. If we are lucky, we may catch some cherry blossom!
