Cancelled: Seoul National Cemetery Spring Blossom Event (현충원, 호국의 봄을 열다)

Every year, Seoul National Cemetery hosts an event when the weeping cherry blossoms within the cemetery are in full bloom. The weeping cherry blossoms symbolize patriotism and have a particularly pink appearance. The weeping cherry blossoms offer a fascinating sight with their branches hanging down, resembling a waterfall of flowers. The hanging branches may also seem to be bowing down to pay respect to the brave soldiers and martyrs who fought for the country.
