Ha Giang in the top 6 little-known cherry blossom viewing spots in Asia

Ha Giang

Known to many international visitors as a place with majestic natural scenery and unique indigenous cultural traditions, Ha Giang today is also one of the most beautiful places to see peach blossoms in Vietnam.

If you want to see cherry blossoms, visitors should visit Ha Giang in January and February. March is the season when Himalayan peach blossoms bloom interspersed with cherry blossoms, dyeing the hillsides a brilliant pink and white.

Alishan

As one of the five major mountain ranges in Taiwan, Alishan is one of the must-see check-in spots for tourists. The ancient cypress forests covered in morning mist create a magical scene, further enhancing the beauty of the cherry blossoms.

Jinhae

Jinhae District in Changwon City, South Korea, is famous for the Jinhae Cherry Blossom Festival with millions of trees blooming simultaneously, covering an area along the riverbank and in the park.

For the most complete experience, visitors should visit the cherry blossom road along the Yeojwacheon River or climb Bonghwangsan Mountain to see the whole city immersed in a sea of flowers.

Atok

Atok Municipality, Benguet Province is one of the coldest places in the Philippines, making it one of the ideal cherry growing spots.

This is where tourists can see cherry blossoms in full bloom from late March to early April. The cherry blossom season is not too long, but according to many tourists, this place is "worth a visit".

Shizuoka

Japan has many beautiful places to see cherry blossoms. Instead of crowding popular tourist spots during peak season, visitors might consider visiting Shizuoka Prefecture, home to Kawazu-zakura, or “winter cherry blossoms.” These are a special variety with five petals and a deep pink color.

To enjoy the beauty of Shizuoka, visitors should take a walk along the 4km long Kawaberi Nanohana Street to see 850 Kawazu cherry trees along the river, and enjoy local cuisine from nearby stalls.
