One mountain completely covered in flowers sounds like fairy tale - Bucheon Wonmi Mountain delivers April 4-5, 2026. Just 40 minutes from Seoul, 167m low hill explodes with 150,000 azalea trees plus forsythia and cherry blossoms turning entire slope into living flower carpet. Perfect spring day trip.
Line 7 Bucheon Comprehensive Sports Complex Station Exit 2 leads 350m straight to festival gates. Mountain low enough for easy walking but steep enough for dramatic flower waves cascading down.
