With the arrival of spring, the famous magnolia spot 'Gimhae Citizens' Forest' in Gimhae, Gyeongnam, has started to bloom.
Known to more people through social media, this place is famous for its 100 or so magnolia trees that beautifully bloom each year during this time.
This year, it is expected that full bloom will occur from the second week of March to the 23rd, and many visitors are anticipated to visit this site.

Parking information and tips
Gimhae Citizens' Forest is structured to be accessible along the farming road, which has a narrow road width raising concerns about traffic congestion.
To address this issue, Gimhae City plans to divide the parking areas into three zones. The designated parking areas, arranged to minimize inconvenience for visitors, are as follows:
The first parking lot is located in the green area next to the magnolia grove, the second parking lot is situated near the first parking lot's farming road, and finally, the third parking lot is positioned between the agricultural technology center's farming road and Bongokcheon Road.
💡 Parking Tip!
If the official parking lot is crowded, it is much more convenient to park on the Heungdong farming road or the roadside near Bongokcheon. Especially if you visit in the afternoon, parking tends to be easier.
For visitors' convenience, photo zones and portable toilets are installed, and continuous management and personnel placement will support smooth exploration.
Due to vehicle control, it is advisable to enter 'Heungdong 82-5' into the navigation. From this direction, it takes about 8 minutes on foot to reach the destination.
After parking, follow the path on the right where vehicle control is implemented. Walking along this path will lead you to a road tunnel. After passing through the tunnel and going left, you will arrive at the magnolia grove.
The distance is not long, making it a pleasant course to walk and enjoy the spring breeze. I hope you don't miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in nature via this convenient route.
