Climbing In Korea

Dear CIKers,

On Tuesday evening, April 7th, let's enjoy a relaxing walk under the CHERRY BLOSSOM (it's already in full bloom), along Dorimcheon and Anyangcheon, from Sindorim station to Omokgyo station.

Dorimcheon and Anyangcheon are famous spots for cherry blossom lovers, it should be covered with flowers by then. Come with us to enjoy a beautiful spring night :-)

This walk takes around 1 hour, depending on our own speed and ability. The trail is classified EASY (flat way along the river). We will take our time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of cherry blossom :-)
