Jinhae Gunhangje Festival
Every April, the town of Jinhae in Gyeongsangnam-do Province is covered by cherry blossoms. Its streets with 100-year-old buildings turn white and pink with cherry blossom tunnels and raining petals.
During the festival, Korea’s naval academy and navy headquarters in Jinhae will be open to the public. A tour inside the Korea Naval Academy Museum and of naval vessels will be a unique opportunity for visitors to the event. The navy will also allow visitors to try on some rentable navy uniforms.
