Introduction
Zhenhai is located in Changwon City near Busan, where Sakura trees planted during the Japanese rule could be seen everywhere. Even after Korea's liberation, instead of cutting down these trees, Zhenhai chose to keep them as a reminder of national shame and historical witness. Today, it has become a famous destination for cherry blossom viewing in South Korea. Every early April, Zhenhai holds the "Zhenhai Naval Port Festival" for about 10 days, attracting visitors from all over. Yozakura, Gyeonghwa Station, and the Naval Academy are the most concentrated and beautiful spots for cherry blossoms. In addition to the stunning scenery, there are also exciting performances and delicious food. The most famous delicacy in the area is Sakura cakes, which not only look like cherry blossoms on the outside, but also taste delicious with filling made from cherry blossoms. Visitors often have to queue up to buy them. Address Jinhae Intercity Bus Terminal, Taepyeong-ro 34beon-gil, Inuidong, Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea
