It's the 1st day of this Sakura trip and luckily encountering the last few days of fully blooming. The dropping of cherry blossoms were just breathtakingly as sakura snow. The lake also amazingly reflected all the colors, styles and petals of fully blooming blossoms and pretty scenery around.

We decided to stay near the Bomun Lake area where the better quality accommodations are. Although it was about a 15-20 minute drive to the city center where most of the historical sights are, it was nice to be in a spacious area. Bomun area has newer attractions, such as Gyeongju World theme park and the Gyeongju Expo Park, that really don’t appeal to those looking for historical sights. Most of the better restaurants were in the city also so the only appeal of the area was really the better accommodation and the lake area which was great for morning jogs and evening strolls.
