Spring blossoms bloom across Korea

Visitors crowd the streets along cherry blossom-lined streams and railway tracks in Jinhae, Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province, as the nation’s largest spring flower festival draws large numbers from its first weekend. The annual Jinhae Gunhangje Festival opened Friday, returning to a festive atmosphere after last year’s subdued event, when most programs were canceled due to large wildfires in the Yeongnam region.
