Gyeonghwa Station Cherry Blossom Path | 観光地情報

Gyeonghwa Station, famous as a cherry blossom spot in Gyeongsangnam-do, is a small unmanned station in Gyeonghwa-dong, Jinhae-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, where passenger services have been suspended since 2006. Located between Seongju-sa Station and Jinhae Station, the cherry blossoms stretch along the railroad, forming a tunnel, and it is well-known as a cherry blossom photo spot together with Anmingogae and Jinhae Yeojaecheon Bridge. Visitors can freely walk on the railroad tracks in full bloom, and when the cherry blossoms fall, the petals scattered on passing trains create a fantastic romantic atmosphere. The approximately 800m railway-side cherry blossoms from Gyeonghwa Station, the filming location of the movie "Boy Goes to Heaven" and the drama "Spring Waltz," to Sehwa Girls' High School offer a more relaxed experience than Yeojaecheon, attracting many couples and families. Every year during cherry blossom season, the number of tourists increases, and in 2009, passenger services temporarily resumed only during the Gunhangje Festival. During the festival, a cherry blossom festival shuttle train operates, and all trains passing through reduce their speed, allowing tourists to fully enjoy the romance of the cherry blossoms. Recently, clean restrooms convenient for tourists have also been newly installed.
